When ‘Stranger Things’ Season 3, everyone only had one thing in mind: Did Hopper really die? However, the answer to that question was given in the trailer of Season 4 where it was revealed that Hopper is still alive. But, he is being held captive by the Russians now.

In Episode 2 of Season 4, we get to know that Hopper (David Harbour) escaped the explosion and is apprehended by the Russian soldiers and whisked away to their prison after he refuses to divulge any information that puts Joyce (Winona Ryder) in danger. He is finally sent to a heavily-guarded hell on earth facility called Kamchatka, where he finds the prison guard Dmitri (Tom Wlaschiha) to help Hopper get out of there.

Dmitri helps him by getting the information out to Joyce (Winona Ryder) that he is still alive. Joyce gets her friend Bret and leaves for Hopper. Dmitri tells Hopper and Joyce that they need to find a man named Yuri who will take Hopper out of that place. So, the plan is that Hopper will injure himself so that he can get the chains out of his feet. Then, with the help of Dmitri, he will escape the facility. However, Hopper suffers a minor setback when he enters the tool shed to get out of the chains and one of the prison guards sees him. They get into a fight and Hopper manages to escape.

The plan is to reach the nearest town and Yuri will take him out of that place.

Joyce and Bret give $40,000 for this work. Everything was working fine until Yuri called Dmitri and said that he will get more money if he gets the American back in prison. Also, he will get more money if he tells the Russians that someone from the inside was involved in this. Suddenly, the Russian soldiers hurry to catch Dmitri and take him into custody. On the other hand, Hopper, who took shelter in one of the houses and was eating peanut butter, is suddenly attacked by a group of Russian soldiers and once again taken captive.

Elsewhere, Bret and Joyce are unconscious after Yuri makes them drink coffee that has something suspicious in it. So, Hopper and Dmitri’s plan has failed and they both are thrown in a prison now. Meanwhile, Yuri is thinking of taking Joyce and Bret to the Russians so that he can get more money.

Has Hopper lost the chance of getting out the prison? It seems like that, but Joyce will do everything in her control to get him out.
