Summary

Kit, Andy, and Steve dive into one of the most intense and heartbreaking episodes of Stranger Things. In Chapter Eight: The Mind Flayer, chaos erupts inside Hawkins Lab as the Demo-dogs close in, trapping the kids, Joyce, Bob, and Hopper in a desperate fight for survival. As they struggle to escape, it becomes terrifyingly clear that the Mind Flayer has tightened its grip on Will, turning him into a weapon against those he loves.
