For context:
Chapter Nine: The GateRuntime: 62 minutesThe season finale is the only episode of Season 2 to cross the one-hour mark. This extended runtime allows for a massive three-pronged finale: Eleven closing the gate, the kids burning the hub in the tunnels, and the emotional resolution at the Snow Ball dance.
Chapter Five: Dig DugRuntime: 58 minutesThe runtime jumps significantly as the storylines begin to converge. Nancy and Jonathan seek out a conspiracy theorist, while Bob Newby uses his "Basic" programming skills to help find a trapped Hopper. This episode feels the most like a classic 80s adventure film.
