Papa is really not the best father figure on Stranger Things. Hopper does a way better job at it. But things are quite different behind the scenes. As we see in the behind-the-scenes, Eleven and Papa are joking about. The father-daughter duo Matthew Modine and Millie Bobby Brown are so stinking cute! 

Stranger Things returned to the screen after a gap of three years. The kids are bigger and so are the risks. This season, we went to the past one more time to confront the horrors in Eleven’s life while a murderous supernatural being gets closer to the Hawkins gang. Upon its release, the series became Netflix’s first show to have the biggest premiere. 

Millie Bobby Brown suggests recreating the scene from season 1

In a recently shared behind-the-scenes clip, we catch a glimpse of Millie and Matthew’s playful relationship. Millie Bobby Brown suggests that Matthew Modine (Papa) lift her up to recreate the scene from season 1, where papa carries an unconscious Eleven after she killed two orderlies.

Matthew complies with her request despite Brown stating that she’s bigger now. But Matthew counters, “Only taller.” But he eats his words when he struggles to walk carrying her! However, Brown is least bothered, instead, she cheekily asked Ross and Duffer brothers whether this rang a bell for them. 

Martin Brenner returns in Season 4

In the first season, we met a timid Eleven, who was terrified of Papa aka Martin Brenner. Brenner runs the Hawkins National Laboratory, which is the ground zero for all experiments related to the Upside Down. It also houses kids who are basically guinea pigs for unethical experiments related to telekinesis.

Brenner made a return to Stranger Things season 4 when Owen got him on board to bring back Eleven’s powers. At first, Eleven feels betrayed, but eventually, she chooses to trust Papa again to regain her powers. Sifting through her memories to relearn how to use her powers, Eleven discovers One caused the murders that she thought she was guilty of all these years. Additionally, it’s revealed One is Henry Creel and also Vecna.
