Chapter Four: Will the Wise

Dustin is responsible for unleashing a monster. He gets caught up in his connection to Dart, that he fails to see how dangerous his complicity is. He doesn't tell his friends, trying to protect the beast, but in doing so he sends them on a wild goose chaser. Jonathan and Nancy go off to tell the truth about their friend's death. The sad thing is that the bad guys listen in on everything, so when they go to meet the girl's mother, she doesn't show up, but men from the lab do. They basically kidnap them and give the a story, telling them to keep their mouths shut. Max is snubbed by the boys and seems to have had enough (rightfully so). But Will continues the mystery. We remember the scene leading to his ingesting the monster that he had run from. When he is brought home, he begins to need it cold because the creature inhabits him. Hopper goes to a place and begins a subterranean investigation.
