Max is able to sneak outside and get a quick glimpse inside, where she sees Chrissy's corpse ( Grace Van Dien), her limbs twisted. The cops walk into the trailer, and they are horrified, clearly at a loss at what they are seeing. Outside, Officers Phil Callahan ( John Paul Reynolds) and Calvin Powell ( Rob Morgan) talk to Wayne Munson ( Joel Stoffer), Eddie's uncle, who is visibly shaken.
As she is standing at the sink, again taking more medicine for yet another headache, she watches a bunch of cop cars speed into the trailer park and stop outside Eddie's ( Joseph Quinn) trailer. But this is certainly not an act of mercy: Kamchatka, the guard says, is Hell.īack in Hawkins, Max ( Sadie Sink) jerks awake from a nightmare. When he doesn't give up Joyce's ( Winona Ryder) identity, even though he is just barely surviving, the Russians send him to Kamchatka to work for the Motherland. He is taken to Russia where he is ruthlessly tortured for information. He manages to climb through the smoke and wreckage and up the ladder, only to be blocked by the Russians who are waiting at the top, guns pointed at him. Instead, Hopper simply jumps down onto a lower platform. But then the episode shows us what we didn't see (and no, Hop didn't get trapped in the Upside Down, which admittedly would have been a lot cooler). After Hop sacrifices himself to destroy the gate, the platform starts to explode and becomes engulfed in flames, just like we saw in the finale. The episode opens with a flashback to the crucial final moments we last saw Hopper in the Season 3 finale.
"Chapter Two: Vecna's Curse" finds Vecna snatching up another poor unfortunate soul, El getting her revenge on Angela, and finally, answers the question we've all been waiting for: what happened to Hopper ( David Harbour)? In the second chapter of Stranger Things Season 4, the Duffer Brothers bring us another shiver-inducing episode that will fuel our nightmares for weeks to come.
