After Mr. Clarke quickly learns what’s going on, he finds Dustin, Steve, Nancy, and Jonathan in the Upside Down using a tracking device. Back in Hawkins, the group – now including Max! – manages to pull them all out. There’s a lot to explain, but you might have noticed Holly isn’t among those rescued. She almost escapes, waking up connected to the central spire and trying to run to a gate leading to another world – the one Vecna intends to merge with ours. She jumps through just as Vecna catches up, and the group in Hawkins Lab hears her scream as she falls from the sky. They rush to the roof, but she’s pulled back by Vecna, who returns her body to the spire. He now has all twelve of the people he needs.
