India, Nov. 28 -- Stranger Things Season 5, Episode 4, titled "Sorcerer", Will Byers temporarily gains control over the hive-mind creatures of the Upside Down, even directing Demogorgons to attack, much like Eleven's telekinesis. Immediately after, Will's eyes glow white, and he bleeds from the nose.
