There's a Body: Stranger Things S1E4

About this episode

The episode explores the characters' reactions to Will's disappearance and the unfolding mystery in Hawkins.

Hopper gets suspicious and starts digging—literally. Joyce refuses to believe Will is gone, and honestly, she might be onto something. Meanwhile, the kids use Eleven's powers for some good old-fashioned spy work, and Nancy starts realizing Steve might not be the best problem-solver.
