Joyce and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) blow up at each other right in the middle of the town square. All signs are clear that as the episodic mid-point nears, a narrative shift in character alliances is desperately warranted. Whatever street cred Steve built up early on is quickly fading. Steve plays the pompous coward, unwilling to help Nancy at the risk of his parents finding out about the house party. The teen angst fallout continues as Nancy (Natalie Dyer) tells Steve (Joe Keery) about the faceless person she saw in his backyard. Repeated references to “the State” or “Staties” offers by the Hawkins Police offers an appropriate counterbalance of power alliance and recognition of small town distrust toward outside factions. He finds out “The State” performed the autopsy, an unusual move for their small town. Hopper believes Will dead, but is still suspicious of the government facility and whoever phoned in the body. Likewise, at the funeral home Joyce remains unconvinced even after the coroner shows them the body (through a glass window). Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) asks about Will’s looming funeral, but Mike is now on the Joyce bandwagon, a firm believer that Will isn’t dead. If she would have whipped out a couple of packages of Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, her attempt to cheer him up couldn’t have been any more perfect. The last line, particularly the dual promise of 1) video store nirvana and 2) R-rated permission synthesizes everything the Duffer Brothers understand and get right about how life happened for kids and parents and the dynamics between them in the ’80s. We can, stop by the video store on the way back, pick out whatever you want-even R-rated.” Why don’t you grab a book or something and come with me. “I need to drop off Nance, and I’m going to check in on Barb’s parents. In the episode”s best (and most authentic) line appropriate to the era, mom Karen tries to console him in the most ’80s way possible: The next morning Mike pulls an “Elliot” (right out of E.T.) and fakes being sick to stay home from school.
As he looks over at El, her nosebleed returns (signaling her telekinesis use and its mental/physical toll on the body). Mike rushes over to respond, but the signal breaks. Over the speaker, clearer than ever, the voice of Will (Noah Schnapp), soft and still, quietly sings the Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go”. El (Millie Bobby Brown) holds up the giant transistor walkie-talkie.

The meta-textual moment adds narrative intensity just as it provides a quietly comical visual gag, recalling both Jack Nicholson’s manic performance in The Shining and Bruce Campbell”s Ash persona in The Evil Dead.Ī news briefing on TV announces “David O’Bannon” to be the man who tipped off authorities to the body (perhaps a nod to screenwriter Dan O’Bannon, known for Alien, Aliens, and Total Recall). As a genre mixing homage to ’80s horror cinema, Joyce rushes out the back to the woodshed where she quickly retrieves and returns brandishing a wood axe. Chief Hopper (David Harbour) tries to comfort Joyce (Winona Ryder), but senses she’s well into a mental breakdown in her grief. The town grieves, specifically the Byers and Wheeler’s households. Nothing Good Comes From the Woodshed … Which Is Sometimes a Good Thing In terms of continuity, the story flows on and builds toward a tense climax with subtle Abrahamic moral gravity.
Perhaps most importantly, Chapter Four partially answers an important question at the core of Chapter Three’s cliffhanger, but only enough to add narrative momentum without undo heavy exposition. As a serialized chapter to a shortened season, “The Body” moves the narrative along (thanks to a script credited to Justin Doble and direction from industry vet Shawn Levy) without sacrificing the little moments that give this sci-fi horror drama its spark. Stranger Things episode four, “The Body” works better than the average mid-season bridge episode.
