The guys get out of the car just outside of this Creel's house
"Yeah, it's not creepy at all" Steve says as he opens the door with Nancy's help

"What a cozy little house" Vivien exclaims sarcastic
"What exactly are we looking for in this piece of shit house?"
"We don't know, but this house is important to Vecna"
"Cause Max saw it in Vecna's mental soup?" Steve asks her
"Maybe there's a clue as to where Vecna is and why he came back and why he killed the Creels or why he wanted to hurt Max"

"We don't think he's here, do we?" Lucas asks intimidate 
"We'll find out" Vivien replies helping Steve and Nancy
"Wait it's locked. Should we knock hoping someone will open us?"
"Steve and this knocking on doors. I have the key" Vivien says with a smirk and throws a brick against the window breaking it
"Vivien and her breaking everything and forcing the doors. Which is better?"  Steve replies and Vivi rolls her eyes

"Keep these" Vivien distributes the torches to Steve and Dustin
"Where did you get them?" Steve bounces his eyes from Vivi to Dustin
"Do we have to tell you everything? You're not a child" Dustin replies and Steve makes a fake smile
"Thank you very much"
"They left everything" between the soft light of the torches Nancy notes that all the furniture is still in the house
"Triple murder doesn't increase market value" continues Robin

"Hey guys... you see it too, don't you?" interrupts Max pointing to a grandfather's  clock
"Yes" they all respond in unison
"Max, is that what you saw in your visions?" Vivien asks her and Maxine nods slowly
"But it's just an old clock. A normal clock." Robin continues to approach the clock cautiously
"Why is this warlock obsessed with clocks? Maybe he's some kind of clock maker or something?"
"Wow, Steve, you cracked the case" Vivien glances up at him
"All I know is that the answers are here somewhere. Okay, let's all stick together. Robin upstairs." Nancy goes with Robin, Max goes with Lucas, and Steve goes with Dustin and Vivien.

"Hey Byers, could you explain to us what kind of clues we're looking for here?"
"I have no idea, let's just look"
"The world is full of obvious things that no one ever bothers to observe' "
"Sorry?" Vivien and Steve turn simultaneously towards Dustin
"Sherlock Holmes"
"Oh wow great, really helpful."

Steve notices a crack in the floor. He slowly opens it, but it's full of dust and glass jars containing dead insects. But suddenly he feels a tingle on his left shoulder and sees a black widow climbing over him. Frightened, he drops the jar that breaks into a thousand pieces on the floor.
"FUCK"

"STEVE!" Vivien suddenly turns worried
"Steve, what's going on?" Nancy from the next room asks him concerned
"There was a spider... a black widow. Okay, don't go in there."
"If there's a spider you don't notice until it lays its eggs and the little spiders come out" Robin chuckles as soon as he sees Nancy removing the webs from Steve's jacket
"What's the matter with you? Robin are you serious? She's got problems."
"Yeah, don't tell me."
"It's good that you're friends now. Maybe after we find and kill Vecna, we can save the world. You know? You, me, Robin, Vivien, and Jonathan."
"Okay, here you go" Nancy ignores Steve's proposal

Suddenly the lights start to flash and in the chandelier in the dining room.
"They're like Christmas lights. When Will was upside down. The lights came alive," Vivien says
"Vecna is here. In this house. But on the other side."
"I think he just got out" Robin continues as soon as he notices that the lights have suddenly gone out
"Can he hear us? Can he see us?" Steve asks them
"Max the headphones" Vivien incites her to wear them, it's better not take risks
"Hey, wait. Turn off all the torches and let's talk about it" Nancy opts
"But we can't see anything if we turn off the torches... for Christ's sake."

"Hey hey I got it, I got it" Robin yells when she notices the light on in her torch
"It's moving. It's moving, it's moving." Now it's in Steve's "I fucking lost it."

"No you're wrong, here it is." Vivien exclaims making way for others on a ladder
"The loft, of course"

"Guys, our torches" Dustin says as out of nowhere all the torches light up at the same time. Vecna was really in this room but on the other side?
"Okay what's going on?" Steve asks confused like everyone else but the torches implode in the hands of the guys, one after the other
"What the fuck..."
"Let's get out of here, now"
