At the same time, Hopper, Eleven and Kali are navigating through Vecna's oppressive control and power and the murky world of Upside Down. They are also working towards the same goal like Holly and Max, in order to unravel the truth of this enigmatic domain. Dustin also gets to know some crucial information about Dr. Brenner's research work. At the melting section of the Hawkins Lab, Jonathan and Nancy make some important decisions in their relationship, and they also share some emotional moments.

The word 'Camazotz' is derived from Mayan mythology. In K'iche', the word translates into 'death bat'. It is a bat spirit that serves the kings of the netherworld. The primary connections attached with the bat are death, sacrifice and night.
