Rather than prove to Jason that Eddie is innocent, the basketball captain is now sure the freak killed his girlfriend and his teammate.Īt first, it seems like the outlandish plan to free Hopper from a Russian prison (without the help of any ambassadors or diplomats) might work. But before Patrick can reach them, Vecna pulls him under the surface of Lovers Lake, then lifts him high into the air and kills him just as he did Chrissy, right in front of Jason's eyes. Patrick still looks conflicted, and we can't tell if he's trying to help Jason catch Eddie or stop him from doing something he'll regret. When his teammates finally figure out where Eddie's been hiding, Jason swims after Eddie, who's trying to row away in a speedboat that won't start. Not long after, Patrick spots the tell-tale grandfather clock from the Creel house at Chrissy's funeral. We never see what happened to Patrick to make him vulnerable to Vecna's curse, but we do see Vecna take possession of Patrick's mind as Jason's posse rides in his car, which results in a nosebleed. Kelly's files, the Hawkins kids and the audience know that Vecna picks on teenagers who have trauma (specifically, guilt) in their pasts. We don't know if we'll check in with this meanest of mean girls again in Volume 2, but it's doubtful she learned her lesson. Listen, nobody deserves a roller skate to the face, but seeing Angela with a bloody nose is a little satisfying. As revenge, Angela orchestrates a humiliating skating rink attack, which is made even worse by the fact that El lied to Mike and told him she and Angela were friends. El doesn't snitch, but the truth is so obvious that Angela gets reprimanded. In short order, Angela demonstrates the full extent of her cruelty, first by destroying El's project. However, she doesn't do anything to protect El, even as the kids are snickering about her dead father figure. When she interrupts El as she explains her diorama of Hopper's house, it's obvious that the teacher is aware that Angela's a bit of a pill. She gives an insufferable slide show presentation about why Helen Keller is her hero, then turns around and torments the differently-abled kid in her class. Like Jason, Angela manages to get away with pretty vile behavior while, for the most part, staying on the good side of the authority figures around her. When the rest of the crew is sneaking into Suzie's dad's office, Argyle and Eden are cozily enjoying some bud in the back of his ride. More proof that Argyle's a lover and not a fighter? He instantly falls for Eden, Suzie's foul-mouthed older sister. He takes offense and says he's spiritual, too. When the group road trips to Suzie's house to trace El's location, Mike warns Argyle that they're very religious. Though Jonathan tries to explain that the point of an unmarked grave is to hide the dead body, empathetic Argyle imagines he must have had a family and makes a makeshift tombstone out of a pizza box. He barely keeps it together when an injured guard dies in the back of his vehicle while fleeing and he loses his mind as they're burying the man in the desert. However, the military gets there first, and Argyle finds himself in the middle of a gunfight. Take, for example, when Jonathan, Will, and Mike scheme to order some Surfer Boy pies so that he can arrive at the Byers house and rescue them, as they're basically being held under house arrest by Dr.
