    The worst of the series

    Aside from the quick snippets in which we see 11 has a sister in 8, the rest of this episode is trash. Mostly, I think it's due to the terrible cast, and honestly casting of this episode. Everyone from 8 herself, as well as her supporting cast simply are not on par with the rest of the cast of this series. As such, this episode both from a story standpoint, and a quality standpoint completely pull you out of the season.

    Worst episode of the entire show

    For a second I thought I was watching the wrong show. This episode was absolutely ridiculous and doesn't fit the show at all. It felt like watching a low-budget superhero movie. Disappointing episode for an otherwise great show. It's a shame this was included, it really should have never been made. In my opinion, a complete waste of time.

    Who..... who approved this episode?

    If I were to teach a course on how to not make a filler episode in a tv series, this is the one I'd show first.

    Out of place

    The episode was not bad it was just out of place. The story of her meeting a sister had a point but the timing on which episode it followed was why it didn't fit.

    Think "Fly" from Breaking Bad

    Pretty much the only episode of this show I'd consider filler. In an otherwise great TV show, they for some reason wanted to spend an entire episode following one character. You can honestly skip it and not much is different.

    • Trivia
      The music used when Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Kali (Linnea Berthelsen) and her gang are preparing to leave to find Ray (Pruitt Taylor Vince) is from the deleted Bank Heist scene from Escape from New York (1981), composed by John Carpenter.
    • Goofs
      Just after arriving in Chicago, Eleven looks the wrong way when crossing the street. This is because Millie Bobby Brown is British and they drive on the opposite side of the street.

      Kali: They cannot save you, Jane!

      Eleven: No. But I can save them.
