S1E7: Chapter Seven: The Bathtub

In "Stranger Things" Season 1, Episode 7, titled "The Bathtub," things start ramping up. The kids manage to contact Eleven using a makeshift sensory deprivation tank in the school gym. While floating in the tank, Eleven locates Will in the Upside Down, where he’s not looking too great, and also sees Barb, but she's already dead. So, one win and one loss there. Meanwhile, Joyce and Hopper are dealing with their own drama. They’ve been arrested by Dr. Brenner’s people but eventually manage to escape with the help of some quick thinking and a bit of brute force. It’s always nice when a plan comes together, even if it involves punching out a few bad guys along the way. Back at the Byers' house, Nancy and Jonathan are gearing up for a showdown with the Demogorgon. Armed with bear traps and lighter fluid — because why not — they're ready to face the monster head-on. It’s not exactly your average Saturday night in Hawkins, Indiana. As the episode wraps up, all roads seem to lead to the Hawkins Lab. The gang is preparing for a rescue mission to save Will, while Brenner and his goons are still hot on Eleven's trail. Tensions are high, stakes are higher, and it's clear that everyone is gearing up for one heck of a finale.
