Shock Jock is the fifth episode of season five. Will Byers tells Joyce Byers and Mike Wheeler that the Demogorgon took away Derek Turnbow and Murray Bauman’s van, and drove it away. Will says that out of the 176 kids that were taken, 164 of them are no longer alive because of the van crashing, leaving only 12 kids left. The Demogorgon eats the remaining 12 kids and they see Mr. Whatsit. Mr. Whatsit tells the kids that he is sorry most of them were destroyed, and because of that, he can’t take any more kids, so he has to rotate around with the 12. Inside of the lab, The Wolf Pack, including Commander Wolffe look around the collapsed lab for Kali Prasad, but since Eleven made a deal with the Insolence, it appears that Kali was still there and she never escaped.

The kids in Mr. Whatsit’s house are trying to hide from him, and Holly runs away from Mr. Whatsit’s house and meets up with him in the forest. Robin says that Will would attack Vecna by finding the tower connected to the hive mind and fly into it with a plane, they will repeat the process if there are 2 towers. Dustin and Steve reach the Demogorgon and pry open it’s mouth, but are sad that there is only a corpse inside. El tells Kali that she is sorry for leaving her K.I.R.A group, and Kali tells her that since she left, Dr. Kay found her and captured her, using Sidoh, she stole Kali’s notebook and to test that it was real, wrote down the names of Kali’s group members. To test if she was the Killa, she locked Kali up for a month, and that’s when El found her. Derek starts rizzing up Vecna while Holly escapes. At the station, to test if the plane would break the towers, Will tosses an airplane into three pumpkins, with one in the shape of a pentagon.
