With a rating of 9.2, this episode keeps the neon aesthetic of 1980s malls as the central backdrop and revolves around Billy as he sacrifices himself to save Eleven’s life and becomes a puppet of the Mindflayer. While Suzie, Dustin, and others guide Joyce and Hopper through the tunnels of the mall. In a heartbreaking finale, Hopper seemingly dies, leaving a sentimental note for Eleven.
