Stranger Things: 20 Best Moments
7. Hopper And Joyce Rescue Will (S1 E8: The Upside Down)
The climax to Season One left all of us on the edge of our seats as the kids try and defeat the Demogorgon, whilst Hopper and Joyce travel to the Upside Down to rescue Will.
It is certainly an emotional reunion between Joyce and her son, with Hopper having flashbacks to his own daughter’s death as he desperately tries to resuscitate Will.
Having been shown glimpses of Jim’s life before Hawkins, where he was a loving father to his daughter, all of his trauma and pain culminates in this dramatic scene where he is able to save the life of a child.
We all feel like cheering, as well as sobbing when Will finally wakes.
