Best needle drop: Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer," which kicks into gear just as Jason sets fire to a picture of the Hellfire Club. For this one, he draws upon Eddie's grand creation: Vecna. Dustin, lest we forget, has a talent for naming the many creatures of Stranger Things. Fred dies just as Chrissy did, bones snapping and eyes sucking into his skull as he levitates high above the ground. "Boogeyman" isn't good enough for Dustin, though. It's unclear if he actually was responsible for the other driver's death, but that means nothing to the humanoid creature that approaches him. He was in a car accident the year before. Fred eventually finds himself on a lonely, dark road, where a flaming car brings back traumatic memories. It's surrounded by rotting, zombie-like figures who echo the cop's accusations of murder. Later, he sees the same grandfather clock that Chrissy did before she died. First, a leering cop grows tentacles and accuses him of being a murderer. 
Fred learns as much when he begins seeing monstrous visions of his own. "Boogeyman" is one word for whoever's terrorizing Hawkins. "How much loss can one community take?" he asks.
Jason honors those lost in last season's "fire" during the Tigers' pep rally, specifically naming Billy and Hopper. Dustin's still dating Suzie (Gabriella Pizzolo), who's reintroduced while hacking into the Hawkins mainframe to change Dustin's Latin grade from a D- to an A. Steve ( Joe Keery) and Robin ( Maya Hawke) are still pals, commiserating over their crushes as they lord over the counter at Family Video. She's hoping she and Jonathan will be able to go to the same fancy-schmancy college together, but, as her lackey Fred (Logan Riley Bruner) notes, the distance between them is certainly having an effect on the couple. Another thing I neglected to mention: Nancy (Natalia Dyer) is now the editor of the Hawkins newspaper. 
Inside is a note hinting that Hopper ( David Harbour) is still alive ( as if we didn't already know that). Inside is a doll that Murray (Brett Gelman) encourages her to smash open. What I neglected to mention: Joyce gets a package with Russian postage.(Fear not, we'll talk more about Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" in a future episode.) The perfect jolt of feel-good rock before everything goes to hell. Best needle drop: KISS' "Detroit Rock City" during the climactic game/campaign.
