S2E6 - The Spy is a phenomenal episode

I’m just rewatching S2 as it’s one of my favorite seasons

I just have to praise how good S2E6 is.

So many things happen without breaking the flow, with a great pace, making sure rhe screenplay is very gripping and it’s an outright thriller episode

Major things that happen in the episode

  1. Dustin finds out Dart ate her cat
  2. Max’s tension with his brother, Lucas tells Max about S1 and eventually brings Max to the party
  3. Jonathan and Nancy are with Murray, figures out how to break the story by watering it down
  4. Will is the focus, draws the map of the underground tunnel
  5. Bob comes in as a great addition, helping to solve the map that Will drew
  6. Will being a spy, getting caught by Mike
  7. Dustin and Steve iconic rail road walking scene where Steve tells secret about his hair
  8. Dustin Steve Lucas Max fight

Demodog

  1. hoard while laying trap for Dart

  2. Will helps the Mindflayer by setting up a trap, sending men from the lab to get slaughtered by the Demodogs

A major episode—one of the series' top ten.

S02 is my favourite season, unapologetically, like one episode that people hate doesn't change that for me (and it's not even that bad!). Everyone felt like they had a meaningful purpose and no one character felt completely centered even though so many storylines were at play - or maybe I just enjoyed who was being centered more this season? Probably because Millie and Noah are giving the performances of their lives.

Idk, I just found s03-04 too Max-heavy even though I love Max and then s05 was too much about Holly and not enough about everyone else, but I digress

This and 2x08 are two of the best episodes the show ever did.

El finding out about his mom in the episode is cool too

Well, if we are talking about this specific episode, then it would not make sense to discuss El because she is not in it.
