Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe cassette tape that Eddie grabs is Iron Maiden's "Piece of Mind," which was released on May 16, 1983. The band responded favorably to their inclusion in the scene, posting "We're with you, Eddie!" to their various social media accounts along with a still image of the scene.
- GoofsIn 1986, no one would say they "typed" the phone number wrong. They would say they "dialed" the number wrong even if it was a push button phone.

[Appears 35 minutes into episode]
011 has has a really good arc this season, and none of her flashbacks or the Nina Project plot outstayed welcome like I thought they might. The last act of this episode felt like it was ripped straight out of an 80s action movie, with so much heart, emotion and thrills. Great pacing, set pieces and acting all around.
The moment between Mike and Will was also extremely well acted and heartbreaking. I genuinely love Will this season. I have no idea what his role will be in the final season, but I've got a feeling it'll probably be very important.
The final moments between 011 and Papa were also really chilling and felt earned. Modine was excellent, but Brown was seriously phenomenal.
A truly cinematic, great addition to the series.
