Chapter 5: The Nina Project

1. I don’t think Harmon is going to make it.
2. God, I’m still reeling from the last episode. I’m not emotionally prepared for more.
3. Are we going to find out more about that attack on the kids when El was younger?
4. Oh, I’ve heard of these silos.
5. THAT’S NINA
6. Is…is that Brenner?
7. HELL NO
8. ABORT ABORT ABORT
9. NOT THIS AGAIN
10. I knew there was something too good to be true with all this.
11. Let El out. She doesn’t deserve to be experimented on again.
12. I get the feeling that if El didn’t choose to go with Doc Owens, they would have kidnapped her.
13. So, Hopper is still being beaten. Lovely.
14. Lights flickering. Demogorgon time.
15. Hopper needs to have another plan, asap.
16. That plane looks safe to me.
17. I’m so entertained by the peanut butter in this.
18. I forgot Eddie was hiding there. It’s probably not a smart idea to be cooking in full view of a window.
19. Mr. Wheeler is still a tool.
20. They need Will, the artist.
21. Max, love you, but you can’t draw.
22. IT’S THE HOUSE
23. DID THEY SHAVE HER AGAIN?
24. No, this has to be a nightmare.
25. Is this a dream or did Vecna get to El?
26. If El killed all the kids, how did Kali get out?
27. Is this part of the Nina project?
28. So, it is the project. Is she supposed to relearn her powers by reliving everything?
29. Argyle is so overwhelmed, and he did not sign up for burying a body.
30. “Open our minds? That’s an open grave!”
31. Yep, Will likes Mike.
32. UNSCREW THE PEN
33. Sneaky, very sneaky.
34. Oh my god. That was why Sara got sick. Jeez.
35. So, Hopper is a clear option for Vecna, with all his buried trauma.
36. Hopper, you are not the curse. Don’t believe that for a second.
37. Now Hopper shall see the real curse.
38. Glad Eddie’s uncle just accepted it, and didn’t fight them on him moving.
39. I find it so funny they think the Hellfire Club is a cult. If anything’s a cult, it’s this group of jocks.
40. Crap, somebody warn Eddie.
41. Oh, the house is still standing. Wouldn’t they have torn it down by now?
42. Well, that’s one way to piss off Vecna.
43. Lucas, did you really think the power would work?
44. I love Dustin’s sarcasm when it’s directed at Steve.
45. There’s always a first time for everything, Murray.
46. El, I think every room will lead to the rainbow room.
47. El has to relive that memory.
48. The orderly is so creepy.
49. So, there’s at least 12 kids.
50. I really thought Argyle was going to take out that phone booth.
51. We are going to find Suzie.
52. NEVERENDING STORY
53. Yeah, the jocks just want to talk. That’s why they brought weapons with them.
54. Dustin, that was so helpful.
55. Spider stash, spider stash.
56. Aw, let’s have some Max and Lucas bonding time please.
57. DO NOT FOLLOW THE LIGHTS
58. So, the other kids didn’t like El. And Brenner helped it along.
59. Nosebleed count: 5
60. Kill count, off the charts.
61. El reacted poorly to that kid insulting her, and killed them all, maybe.
62. Murray is going to be beaten, isn’t he?
63. Someone needs to sign Steve up for those karate lessons.
64. Yuri is going to pass out and not be able to fly the plane.
65. Way to go, Murray.
66. Are they close to Russia or Alaska? All I see is snow so I can’t tell.
67. Why are we following him, exactly?
68. Eddie, run. You need to run now.
69. What does Vecna want to show them?
70. Or is he distracting them?
71. Crap, Patrick is about to freeze in the water.
72. POWERS ARE BACK BABY
73. Nosebleed count: 6
74. So, that part was real, and not part of Nina. Got it. Powers are back though. Just not perfect.
