What Episode Does Billy Die In Stranger Things

So, When Does Billy Bite the Dust in Stranger Things?

Alright, fellow '80s nostalgia enthusiasts, let's dive into the Upside Down and chat about everyone's favorite Demogorgon bait, Billy Hargrove. You know, the guy who went from being a bit of a jerk to a full-blown Demogorgon chum. Now, the question on everyone's mind is: What episode does Billy die in Stranger Things?

Well, grab your Eggo waffles and let's find out. But first, let's set the stage. Billy, played by the charming and talented Caleb McLaughlin, is introduced in season two as the new kid in town. He's a bit of a hothead, and let's just say he's not exactly the most popular guy in Hawkins.

Now, if you've been binge-watching Stranger Things like there's no tomorrow (and let's be real, who hasn't?), you'll know that Billy's story takes a dark turn in season three. He gets possessed by the Mind Flayer, becomes the main henchman of the big bad, and, well, let's just say he's not exactly the most popular guy in the Upside Down either.

But enough with the suspense, you're here for answers, not a recap. So, let's fast-forward to the grand finale. Spoiler alert, folks! In the season three finale, "The Battle of Starcourt," Billy has a change of heart. He realizes the error of his ways (or rather, the Mind Flayer's ways) and decides to help our beloved gang of misfits.

In a moment that's equal parts heartbreaking and badass, Billy lures the Mind Flayer into the open and, in a dramatic showdown, stabs it with a shard of glass from the broken portal. It's a heroic moment, but unfortunately, it comes at a cost. Billy, still connected to the Mind Flayer, gets pulled into the Upside Down and, well, let's just say he doesn't make it out alive.
