I don't condone violence but boy was it satisfying to watch El smack Angela with the Rollerblades!
I think this episode has a good balance between the slice of life scenes and the plot. It's well paced and I loved some of the editing choices and transitions. There's one particular shot that's well done is when the camera is upside-down above the trailer parc until it tilts to just an above view.
Love the team up Max, Dustin, Steve and Robin. Steve and Dustin bickering never gets old.
Always love Nancy and she's a much better reporter than any of the ones in this episode.
You're right, it's going to be hard clearing Eddie's name... but I’m glad the uncle told Nancy about Victor Creel. You'd think, with such gruesome murders, police would make the link and maybe suspect a copy-cat rather than thinking it's Eddie. Hopper would have dug more, too bad he's stuck in Russia...
I was a bit torn about Hopper still being alive, but Joyce made a good point, there was no body. My theory (like many others) was that he somehow ran into the crack and ended up in Russia. But I was really intrigued by Hopper's storyline this season and I also enjoyed Joyce and Murray teaming up. And it's always great to see Tom Vlashiha in new shows (loved him in Game of Thrones, and I met him twice).
I really feel sad for Will, but Mike was also right, it takes two to keep a friendship, efforts and communication from both are needed, especially when there's long distance too. It is also quite obvious at this point that Will feels more than friendship for Mike (it was hinted at a few times in past seasons) so, of course this also complicate things...
Another gruesome ending... Vecna is such a terrifying villain and definitely the one that scared me the most.

This show does a great job of loving all the characters bond with each other. Dustin and Steve has been a favourite for quite a while. And now Robin and Steve is just a perfect duo as well. Love them so much!
Max is such an interesting character.
And Lucas getting in with the popular crowd makes sense though I miss him with the gang. Hopefully he’ll reunite with them🤞🏼
Nancy has just always been one of my favourites - she’s such a bad ass! But I find myself loving all character and keep changing who my favourite is😅😅
Felt so bad for Will when being a third wheel. I think many of us know the feeling😬 Not to blame El and Mike. They are in a long distance relationship and finally spending time together again. But Will was such a third wheel. Poor guy!! I need someone to give him a hug.
I love the transition from Mike’s “what did you do” to papa’s “what have you done?”. So intriguing!
I refuse to believe that El is just evil so they must have done something bad to her that made her kill them all. This made me so interested in getting more of the backstory. Because it was so wrong of her punching Angela like that (could have killed her) but she so had it coming. They are treating El horribly! And making fun of her dad being dead. Wow, what an awful human being Angela is!! So somehow it was so satisfying seeing her get punched
