- [Eddie] Let's do it.
- [Narrator] Volume Two of Stranger Things'
fourth season is almost here,
with two extra long episodes dropping July 1st.
- [Vecna] Now I just want you to watch.
- [Narrator] Here's a quick rundown of
where we left off at the end of Volume One.
Volume one began with Vecna
a mysterious new villain using psychic power
to murder vulnerable teens in Hawkins.
Max only narrowly survived.
Vecna also pulled Nancy into his mind lair
after she, Steve, Robin, and Eddie entered the Upside Down
through the Watergate,
which opened when Vecna killed Patrick.
In Vecna's mind lair
Nancy has learned Vecna's true identity
and how he got to the Upside Down.
- [One] Imagine what we could do together,
we could reshape the world.
- At the end of Chapter Seven,
Nancy is trapped in Vecna's grip, yikes.
On the other side of the gate,
the gang noticed similarities between Vecna
and another evil.
- Why would he be opening gates to take over the world?
Who do we know that wants to take over the world?
The Mind Flayer.
- [Narrator] After going without superpowers for months
Eleven had an unexpected meeting with Dr. Owens
who told her about the murders in Hawkins.
- I believe you are our best hope, our only hope.
- [Narrator] Against Vecna that is.
Dr. Owens offered to help Eleven regain her abilities.
She accepted and went with him
to a top secret underground lab.
- We call her Nina. - Hello Eleven.
- [Narrator] There, she learned that Dr. Brenner
AKA Papa was in charge of her training,
which is hard considering all he put Eleven through
before she escaped Hawkins Lab.
Plus the US military thinks Eleven
is behind Vecna's murder spree and wants her dead.
- Where is she? - You're not ready.
- Eleven listen to me, okay?
- [Narrator] Love and friendship have driven characters
far outside the borders of Hawkins.
Will, Mike, Jonathan, and new pal Argyle
are trying to find Eleven,
and Susie helped them locate her coordinates.
Meanwhile, after Joyce received a mysterious note,
implying that Hopper didn't die
in the battle of Starcourt Mall, and was alive in Russia,
Joyce and Murray went north to try to rescue him.
Eventually they got to Hopper in prison
and found that the prison also housed a demogorgon.
Joyce and Hopper reunited in a sweet moment
but they're still far from home.
While certain friendships are going through rough patches,
others have grown stronger.
And Lucas' former friend Jason,
the basketball captain and boyfriend of Chrissy,
Vecna's first murder victim, is leading the charge
to pin Vecna's murders on the Hellfire Club.
On the romance side, new crushes, and old flames
have both flared up. - If I were you,
I would get her back.
- [Narrator] That's where we left off.
