"Holly, Jolly" Trivia Quiz

Answer: No

Barb awakens in the bottom of the pool which, empty, is lined with mysterious strands of organic material. Something is in the pool with her though, and she needs to scramble to climb the ladder. The surface isn't much different though; Steve's house is covered in the same matter.

She doesn't make it. Whatever's in the pool pulls her back in. No one in the house hears her screams. Later that night, Nancy wakes up and decides to depart. She gets back home only to be caught by her mother who, believing she would be home at 10, waited up.

Her mother insists she can talk to her, but Nancy insists nothing happened.

Answer: The lamp

The next morning, Jonathan wakes up to hear his mother crying in Will's room. He finds her speaking to the lights and she insists that he's in the lamp, trying to speak to her. The lamp does flicker when she speaks to it, but Jonathan isn't convinced.

He thinks she's losing grip and needs sleep. The boys, meanwhile, plan to enact Operation Mirkwood, gathering weapons and foods that they'll need to sustain themselves to hunt for will and defeat whatever monster may be searching for him. Dustin is convinced, however, that the only weapon they need is Eleven.

The boys head out to school and Mike gives Eleven his watch to meet them at the power lines after school at 3:15.

Answer: Coca-cola

Nancy heads to school and Steve meets her at her locker before class. Nancy's worried that everyone knows what they did, but Steve insists he hasn't told anyone; she's just paranoid. When Nancy gets to class, Barb doesn't show up.
Hopper brings his cops to the restricted Department of Energy labs and tries to talk his way in through the gates simply to check the location off his list of to-dos.
Eleven, meanwhile, uses her telekinetic powers to lift items in Mike's basement. With no one home, she ends up heading into the rest of the house, playing around with the electronics and recalling her horrific treatment in the lab.

Answer: Christmas lights

Joyce roots through old boxes to find the family's Christmas lights and, using nails, she decides to hang them up along all of the walls. When she runs out, she decides she has no choice but to go back to work and clear out their entire stock of light strands.
At the labs, Hopper is shown the other end of the storm drain and is assured that no one would be able to head in or out considering the surveillance cameras and the size of the drain. He asks to see the camera footage and is brought into the building to see the tapes. Watching these, it's apparent there's nothing on them. Hopper is certain they're lying; it was raining on the night after Will went missing. There's no rain on the tape.
Under the labs, the organic material in the basement continues to grow.

Answer: A rock for a slingshot

Eleven ventures upstairs to find Nancy's room and, there, finds pictures of Nancy's normal life on her walls.
At school, Nancy asks if the others saw Barb head out when they left Steve's the previous night, but no one seems to know where she went. The boys, outside, discuss Eleven being a weirdo, but they're visited by their bullies, who push Mike down onto a rock. When the bullies leave, they find the rock they need to fire from their slingshot.
Jonathan heads to the school darkroom to develop his photos; most of them are of Nancy.
Joyce strings her lights up throughout the house as Karen, Mike's mom, shows up with a casserole. They speak nothing of the lights.

Answer: Holly

Hopper heads to the library to rustle through some old newspapers on microfiche. Dr. Brenner, who works at the labs, appears in some of the articles. Joyce and Karen discuss the issues at hand with Will missing and Karen says she understands what the Byers family s going through, even including the lights. What they don't notice is Karen's youngest, Holly, following the blinking lights down the hallway into Will's room, where the lamps Joyce set up around the bed are flickering in sequence...until they go out. Holly moves to the corner of the room to the wall Joyce saw moving. Holly sees it too.

Answer: Steve

Nancy calls Barb's house and her mother says that she doesn't know where she is; she hasn't been home since the party. Jonathan, meanwhile, is accosted by Steve and his friends over his photos. The others tear apart the incriminating photos when Nancy arrives and break his camera on the pavement. Nancy stays to grab a picture of Barb; neither know it was the last time she was around. Eleven makes it to the power lines for 3:15 and the boys arrive, but not before Eleven is frightened by a cat.

As it turns out, animals don't seem to like her. One day, during her testing, she was in an examination involving a cat. She was dragged to her cell, screaming, and killed her guards before they could close the door. Dr. Brenner was thrilled with the progress.

Answer: No

The boys pick up Eleven and she hops on Mike's bike as they head into the forests. She asks him who hurt him and the two share their mutual understanding of bullies as they trek onward.
Nancy, meanwhile, heads out to find Barb's car still on the side of the road, three blocks from Steve's place. She returns to Steve's to find a certain stillness; no one is home. Walking into the woods she hears rustling; something's out there. She's scared enough to flee back to the road.
At the Byers house, Joyce finds the lights flickering through the living room, directing her to the wall. Grabbing a tangled string of lights she asks if Will is there and that he blink once for yes, twice for no. She finds out he's alive, but he's not safe.

Answer: MK Ultra

Joyce continues to desperately contact Will, realizing that she needs a more assured method of getting an answer from him beyond a simple yes/no. To accomplish this, she strings lights on the wall and paints letters underneath them, creating a keyboard with which he can respond in words.
Nancy returns home to her mother in a panic; she doesn't know where Barb is, but she thinks something terrible has happened.
Hopper continues to investigate Dr. Brenner and believes that the Hawkins Lab may be home to something bigger than anticipated, especially with Dr. Brenner's link to the CIA's MKUltra plans. Perhaps, he thinks, Will was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hopper receives a call on the walkie and they're off as fast as they can go.

Answer: Will's

The boys, now biking in the dark, head to the Byers house where Eleven says Will is hiding. Everyone is frustrated that they're in the wrong spot, but the police sirens drive by and it seems that they have something new to investigate.
In the Byers house, Nancy finishes her new plan and tells Will to speak to her. She asks where he is; he responds 'RIGHT HERE'. She asks what she should do; he says 'RUN' as all the lights begin to flicker and something tears through the wall behind her.
The boys find where Hopper has been led and they find the emergency response team already there; it's the bottom of the gorge. There, hiding behind a fire truck, they watch as Will's body is dredged from the waters. The boys are furious and Mike bikes off.
While Mike runs home, Joyce runs down the forest road to find her son coming up the drive. The cop cars follow behind him.
