Stranger Things Season 2: 10 Best Moments

9. Max Takes Out Billy (Chapter 9)

Stranger Things Max Billy
Netflix

Max's step-brother Billy is quickly established to be one of the show's most volatile and unpredictable characters, which comes to a head when he attacks Steve for lying about Max's whereabouts.

Billy punches away at Steve until Max decides to take matters into her own hands, grabbing a needle and injecting him in the neck with it, causing Billy to pass out.

Max then grabs Steve's baseball bat full of nails and warns Billy to leave her friends alone. When he retorts with "Screw you", she brings the bat down mere inches from Billy's nether-regions, forcing him into compliance.

Max is easily the series' best new character, and this moment of furious bravery totally clinched it.
