Chapter 7: The bath tub
Dr. Brenner was behind eleven and friends so they hide in a van . Lucas comes to know that the bad man's have reached out there. Later Joyce and hopper help them . Nancy and Jonathan show to the police what was caught up on the camera.
Eleven tries to reach will by her power.

On the other hand Joyce and hopper found out Will and he was sticked on a wall and something like a root of trees in his mouth or an creepy animal. Hopper and Joyce tried to make him conscious and he responded and thy returned to the real world.
All of them got the victory! In the last we see will in the hospital and the friends tell him about the whole adventure and about eleven.
In the last scene we see them celebrating Christmas at their homes . And at the end we see will puking that creepy creature from his mouth and immediately the next scene shows the view of upside down.

So, the last scene shows that there would be a next season too. I have explained the story in short. But there are many thrilling scenes which really keep you think that what would happen next?
Like my favorite scene is when Dr Brenner caught eleven and friends from both the side.
From the front his van was coming and eleven just threw the van by her powers.

In this season, the story is about the missing Will and how the four friends and supernatural powered girl i.e eleven find out will. We never know what is going to happen next and it's really unpredictable. The thing I liked the best was the direction and characterization was amazing. It is better to watch it directly!
I also like the character of eleven and how her super powers work and the most amazing part is action! The story goes on with different scenes and it's awesome weather it is the four friends, the upside down and demogorgon , rather joyce, each of the scenes are thrilling and amazing!
Hope you guys like it,watch it ! Cause watching the Season is more Amazing!

This story shows that how a city of Hawkins where there is no crime at all faces such circumstances. There is also a question why people don't care about what happens in Hawkins?
