Later, they continue the Barb plot re-hash (You got snatched and took to the Upside Down place/ Now you got weird shit crawling out your face) and iron home the tracks surprisingly catchy hook: R.I.P./ Rest in peace, Barb/ Im sorry that monster rolled up on you so hard.Dr. Chorizo finish by pondering the characters future: Im sorry Nance is such a crap friend/ Will we see you next season?/ Stranger Things have happened
