The main storyline this episode is Eleven's, where we believe she is going to train in order to regain her powers in a safe environment. But then, plot twist, we get the reveal that Dr Brenner (Papa) is in fact still alive. It was alluded to in season 2 that he may have in fact survived the demogorgon attack in season 1, and we finally learn the truth here. Eleven goes through traumatic flashbacks, and what is overall a quite harsh method to regain her powers. However, as we see near the end of the episode, it seems to be working.
Another highlight of the episode is Hopper's incredible monologue, where we learn more about his mental state and a bit more on his backstory.
The creel house investigation provided some great character moments, and includes a callback from season 1 which I really enjoyed, where the gang has to follow the flickering of lights to follow the creature in the upside down.
Overall great stuff!
