Then she brought out of it by Mike and get told to hop on the back of her bike.

Nancy then goes back to where Barb parked her car and see it’s empty and then to where Steve pool was trying to find her. She ends up walking into the woods clearly worried when she see something that simply terrifies her causing her to run.

Then we see Joyce and the charismas lights going off, she follows them and she sits in crawl space and asks for Will to talk to her though the lights. She asks a series of question trying to find out where her boy was.  This is when she grabs some paint and paints the alphabet on the wall lining it up with the lights.

Nancy returns home and her mother tires to talk to her but she seems lost and scared and asks what the matter is. She tells her she thinks something terrible happen to Barb as she couldn’t find her.

We see Joyce finishing the alphabet and Will begins to talk to her, telling her he was right there and then tell her to run as the Demogorgon pushes though the wall.  Meanwhile the boy were chasing police cars and ambulances who stopped by a river. A boy being pulled from the River, it looks like Will.

The Review

This episode was a bundle of emotions watching how Joyce would frantically try her best to have connection with her lost sun and how the small group of boys tried there best to find there friend. The heart breaking moment at the end of the episode really got me when they pulled a young boy from the River what believed to Will. I want to watch the next episode already and figure out if that really is him!
