ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Something is changing in Hawkins, and the gang is starting to realize the threat they are facing is bigger than anything they have dealt with before. Chapter Three of Stranger Things: Tales From '85, "Evolution," picks up the pace in a big way, as Nikki's mysterious past begins to come into focus and the dangers lurking around Hawkins start to evolve into something far more unsettling. The Hawkins Investigators Club is put to the test as the stakes climb higher, and what started as strange occurrences around town is quickly revealing itself to be something deeply connected to the Upside Down.
In this episode, Darrell and Addi dig into everything "Evolution" throws at the audience. They break down the growing revelations around Nikki and what her relationship with Will, explore how the show is deepening its mythology while keeping that signature Stranger Things heart, and talk through the crew's evolving dynamic as trust is tested and the pressure mounts. They also weigh in on how "Evolution" raises the emotional stakes alongside the supernatural ones, and have a great time exploring all the great listener feedback!
