The Hellfire Club
The Hellfire Club is the first episode of season four. On September 11, 1979, Martin Brenner prepares to work at the Hawkins National Laboratory. He goes up to Ten and asks him if he is ready. Ten shakes a magic 8-ball to determine his answer, and the ball says yes, so Ten goes with Brenner. While walking, he passes an accomplice named Dr. Ellis (Full name Ellen DeGeneres) walking with Six. Brenner starts to have fun with Ten inside of a private room when all of a sudden, the door explodes open, causing Brenner to stop having fun and get knocked out. When he wakes up, he is sad because his favorite child to have fun with (Ten) no longer breathes. As Brenner walks around the lab, he notices all of his acquaintances and the kids’ remains. When he enters a rainbow-colored room, he finds Eleven grabbing a knife stained with blood. Brenner asks her what she has done. On March 21, 1986, Eleven is going to public school and sends constant letters to Mike Wheeler. Joyce Byers has a new job in a new store, and Will Byers is trying to get accepted into Art School near Italy so that he can experience cool places. Johnathan Byers hangs out with his best friend Argyle, and they enjoy growing weeds inside Argyle’s pizza van. Eleven writes about how she has trauma over having no friends, which is false since a popular girl named Angela always wants to hang out with her, but she always refuses. Mike, Erica Sinclair, and Dustin Henderson are inside of the school’s Hellfire Club, which is a satanic club that attempts to resurrect demons from other realms, such as Vecna and Demogorgons. Dustin forces Suzie Bingham to hack into his report card and change his German score from Z-- to A++ so he can go to the same college as Will. Steve Harrington drives Robin Buckley to a basketball pep rally, where he finds out Robin wants to marry Vickie. Max Mayfield has to constantly visit the school counselor Ms. Kelley because she constantly ragebaits people. As the hellfire club sits together, they watch the basketball team walk in, led by the leader Jason Carver. Erica wants to watch the basketball game but realizes that the game is at the same time as the finale of the current summoning ritual they are doing. Joyce receives a Ventriloquist doll inside her mailbox. Eleven does a presentation about a historical hero and her choice is Harry Potter, who saved the world from Voldemort. Angela tells Eleven that the person cannot be fictional, but Eleven finds this insulting and leaves. Mike and Dustin tell the leader of hellfire club Eddie Munson that Erica cannot come today, and Eddie says that he will summon a demon on Erica, so Eddie and Dustin both get ready to roll. Dustin rolls a 20-sided dice, and it lands on 3, causing Vecna to eat Dustin. Eddie then rolls a 20, summoning Vecna. Joyce phone-calls Murray Bauman, who tells her to destroy the doll because there was a high chance that there would be a note inside. Chrissy Cunningham is walking in the woods when all of a sudden Vecna’s very loud watch starts ticking, causing Chrissy to get freaked out. Eddie shows up in the woods and drugs Chrissy. Jake trips Eleven, causing her Harry Potter minifigure to drop. Angela fights Jake, but Eleven has had enough and screams, causing Ms. Gracey to show up and punish Angela. After smashing the doll, Joyce finds a note saying that Hopper is alive. Meanwhile, the basketball game is going on. The opposing team is leading by 20 points and there is 10 seconds left, but Erica suddenly runs onto the court and does 7 3-pointers, winning the game. Chrissy wakes up inside of Eddie’s camper, where she sees Vecna heading towards her. Chrissy attempts to run in many ways, but Eddie has boarded up many of the exits inside of his camper to prevent Chrissy from escaping. Eddie starts singing a cult-like song about Chrissy waking up inside of a different dimension, as Vecna starts to walk towards Chrissy. Vecna then makes Chrissy snap as Eddie is watching. Eddie starts laughing like a maniac watching Chrissy snap.
