They walk back down the hall toward NINA hand in hand. There is much more work to be done, but it’s clear that whatever Brenner is doing is working. When she goes to get rid of Brenner, her powers don’t come to her. Now, before you start celebrating about El being fixed and getting to go to Hawkins - it’s not that easy. And those powers seem surprisingly strong. This time, however, when the guards go to grab her, she blasts them away … with her powers. And then El takes that defibrillator and smashes it into Brenner’s face. She starts freaking out and they have to use a defibrillator to get her back. Even though it looks like El is getting the hang of being in her own memory - the repeating stops and she goes on to an exercise with the other kids where she continues to fail and we learn that Two is a real number two, if you know what I mean - it doesn’t take long for her to go back to that traumatic memory from before. It’s honestly a little from column A and a little from column B. “She’s going to drown in there,” he tells Brenner. Owens is worried it is too much too soon. Outside of the memory, they’re monitoring El. A tall, blond man who works at the lab and has a real vibe keeps calling her “a sleepyhead.” It’s all weird. When she looks in the mirror, she sees herself back at her age then. It’s trippy: She keeps repeating moments and every door she opens leads her back into the Rainbow Room.

We always knew we’d be going back to that perhaps in these memories, we’ll get the full story.įor now, El is fighting the program. If that time period rings a bell, good - it’s the same time as that horrific massacre at the lab they showed us in the first episode of the season. From September 1979 at Hawkins, to be exact. So what’s the plan? For now, all we know is that it includes putting Eleven in the NINA tank and making her walk through specific memories from her time at Hawkins. Eleven is taken by the guards and given a sedative, and honestly, Owens, how could you? I guess since the fate of the world rests on the hope that Eleven can somehow get her powers back and Brenner is the only one with a real plan to do that, Owens has no other choice. When Brenner makes his big reveal, Eleven makes a run for it because Eleven is not an idiot. I want a lot of things, what can I say.Įleven’s superhero training has begun in an upgraded deprivation tank named NINA in a repurposed missile silo buried deep in the desert. Owens, who is working with Brenner, really does have El’s best interest at heart and that Brenner is simply a means to an end, but I also want Hopper to pop out and headbutt this dude. That day is today, it seems! I want to believe Dr. Brenner survived that Demogorgon attack in season one, and it looks like he’s been working on Project Nina out in the Nevada desert since then, just waiting for the day when he could manipulate Eleven into holding his hand while walking down a hallway and calling him Papa. Brenner was only around in those flashbacks, babe? Nope.
