Created by the Duffer Brothers, the series, set in the 1980s, follows the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, and the supernatural happenings that occur within it. In "The Case of the Missing Lifeguard", Eleven and Max find out that Billy is involved in Heather's disappearance, and go looking for her. Meanwhile, Joyce and Hopper investigate in Hawkins Lab, Nancy and Jonathan continue their pursuit of a story about the mysterious rats circulating Hawkins, and Steve, Robin, and Dustin crack the Russian code.

Filming of the episode was unique, both for the scene where Will destroys Castle Byers and when Heather is submerged in a bathtub; both Noah Schnapp and Francesca Reale enjoyed filming their respective scenes, with Millie Bobby Brown insisting on not using a body double for the latter's scene in order to help Reale through filming. Finn Wolfhard and Schnapp both agreed that the scene of Mike saying, "It's not my fault you don't like girls" was not a hint at Will possibly being queer, but instead an indicator of how different he was from his friends in terms of maturity. Despite this, the scene—and Will's general presence in the episode—have been analyzed for how it defines and changes his characterization from this point on. Upon release, the episode received generally positive reviews from critics, and was considered by some to be a step-up in quality for the season.

Background

Stranger Things is set in the 1980s, and follows the supernatural happenings occurring in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. It houses an ensemble cast, focusing on three different groups: the children, Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Will (Noah Schnapp), Max (Sadie Sink), and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), who has telekinetic powers; the teenagers, Steve (Joe Keery), Robin (Maya Hawke), Mike's older sister Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Max's step-brother Billy (Dacre Montgomery), and Will's older brother Jonathan (Charlie Heaton); and the adults, Will's mother Joyce (Winona Ryder), and Hawkins Police of Chief and Eleven's caretaker Hopper (David Harbour).

Throughout the first two seasons, Will experiences much of Hawkins' supernatural happenings, including being taken by a Demogorgon, a race of monsters. He is then controlled subconsciously by the Mind Flayer, an entity that controls the Demogorgons, who is also the main villain at this point. In season three, several plots have been set up in the prior two episodes, including a friendship forming between Max and Eleven—leading to the latter breaking up with Mike—and Joyce noticing odd occurrences, like magnets losing their magnetism. Other plots include Nancy and Jonathan, now working at a newspaper, stumbling upon a mystery involving strange rats that torment the town and an elderly woman named Mrs. Driscoll (Peggy Miley) who has information, and Steve and Dustin finding a secret Russian code while the former works at an ice cream shop with Robin in Starcourt Mall. Concurrently, Billy has been taken over by the Mind Flayer, and is giving people to it as a sacrifice, starting with his co-worker Heather (Francesca Reale).

Plot

At her house, Eleven uses her powers with Max to spy on people, and, after seeing Mike talk badly about them, they spy on Billy. Eleven finds him in the middle of sacrificing Heather to the Mind Flayer—although she only sees Billy holding Heather. Joyce comes to speak about the magnets with Hopper, who is upset that she ditched their date to go talk to schoolteacher Scott about the magnets, and, after Joyce pushes him to, they go to Hawkins Laboratory to see if they have any involvement. Max and Eleven go through Billy's room, and find Heather's belongings in his bathroom, prompting them to go look for her at her job to no avail, but they find a picture of Heather that they take. Nancy and Jonathan tell their employers about Mrs. Driscoll, but they mock her, and she walks off angry.

Production

"The Case of the Missing Lifeguard" was directed by Shawn Levy and written by William Bridges. The episode featured some guest stars, including Francesca Reale as Heather and Peggy Miley as Doris Driscoll.
