"Eleven?" Mike had asked as he stepped forward towards the girl.
"Mike." She has signed in relief as they shared a hug.
"I never gave up on you." Mike said. "I called you every night for-"
"Three hundred and fifty the days." Eleven finished. "I heard."
"Why didn't you answer? At least tell me you were okay?" Mike asked.
"Because I wouldn't let her." Hopper interrupted. "What the hell is this? Where have you been?"
"Where have you been?" Eleven responded. They shared a hug.
"You've been hiding her." Mike said. "This whole time, you've just been hiding her." Mike shoved the man.
"Hey." Hopper said stopping the boy. "Let's talk...Alone." With that the left the room.

"It's not like it was before. It's grown. A lot." Hopper began to explain. "And, I mean, that's hoping we can get in there. The place is crawling with those dogs."
"Demo-dogs." Dustin said.
"Sorry, what was that?" Hopper asked.
"I said, demo-dogs." Dustin repeated. "It's a play on words. Demogorgon and dogs. Makes it sound pretty badass, you know?"
"How is this important right now?" Hopper asked.
"It's not. I'm sorry." Dustin apologized.
"I can do it." Eleven spoke up.
"You're not hearing me." Hopper said.
"I'm hearing you." Eleven said. "I can do it.
"Even if tel can, we've got another problem." Mike said. "If the brain does, so does the body."
"I thought that was the whole point." Max said.
"It is, but if we're actually right about this...if El closes the gate and kills the mind flayers army..." Mike explained.
"Wills apart of that army." Lucas finished.
"Closing the gate will kill him." Mike said.
We all took a trip upstairs to Wills room, in which he laid in bed.
"He likes it cold." Joyce said. "That's what Will kept saying to me. He likes it cold."
"What?" Hopper asked as Joyce closed the window.
"We keep giving it what it wants." Joyce said.
"If this is a virus, and Will's the host, then..." Nancy started.
"Then we need to make the host uninhabitable." Jonathan said.
"So if he likes it cold..." Nancy said
"We need to burn it out of him." Joyce said.
"We have to do it somewhere he doesn't know this time." Mike mentioned.
"Yeah, somewhere far away." Dustin agreed.
•••
Hopper left with Eleven to eventually, once Will was free of the possession, close the gate. Jonathan, Nancy, and Joyce went with Will to burn the thing out of him.
I'm sitting on the couch as Lucas and Max clean up the broken glass as Mike is pacing around the room.
"Mike, would you just stop already?" Lucas asked.
"Lucas, you weren't in there. That lab is swarming with hundreds of those dogs." Mike said freaking out.
"Demo-dogs." Dustin corrected coming in from the kitchen.
