Top 11 best moments from Stranger Things season 3

Operation Child Endangerment

Remember when Stranger Things 2 premiered and it took us 0.000002 seconds to fall in love with Erica (Priah Ferguson), Lucas’ younger sister? I’m happy to report that she is a big part of season 3, and I couldn’t be happier.

When we catch up with Erica in season 3, she’s all about hanging out at Starcourt Mall with her friends and having a good time, and of course, ignoring her nerdy brother and his friends. But this doesn’t last very long, and before we know it Erica is crawling through the vents of the mall to help Dustin, Steve and Robin get to the bottom of this whole Russian drama. And thus began Operation Child Endangerment.

The task was difficult and the danger great, but Erica manages to pull it off. Sure, she got a pretty solid deal out of it, but when push comes to shove, she used her “You can’t spell America without Erica” attitude to help save Steve and Robin.

I couldn’t get enough of this whole storyline thanks in large part to Erica’s involvement, and I’m so glad that the creative team decided to give Ferguson a chance to shine. She even got a character arc about coming to terms with her nerdy interests! She was terrific throughout.

Let’s hope Erica will grow in sass and authority come season 4!
