Usually, finding out what Max has been experiencing inside Henry’s mental prison would be a highlight, but this episode has so much going on that it feels less important. Sadie Sink does a great job delivering a lot of necessary information, but this storyline mostly serves as a pause in the action. Max explains everything that happened in season four to Holly, then fills her in on the events after Max’s death and revival, leading to her current comatose state. Essentially, Max figures out she’s stuck in a confusing labyrinth of Henry’s memories. We revisit the Hawkins Lab massacre (again), see a flashback to Hawkins High in 1959, and ultimately, Max finds herself confronting Henry’s memories of her.
