(33:36)

Nancy opens the door to her house, leading everyone inside. They all inspect the slimey vines that are covering the floor, climbing the walls and ceiling.

"Wow, I thought you were supposed to tidy up before showing guests around. Expected more from you, Wheeler."

Robin and Nancy let out a laugh while Eddie is really invested on the vines.

"What's even the purpose of these? Is he expecting people to constantly roam this place"

"Come on. I don't wanna stay here longer than we have to."

They all follow Nancy upstairs and to her room, except for Steve. He stops halfway up the flight of stairs, looking around him in confusion. No one noticed though, they're to busy wondering where Nancy keeps her guns.

As she opens her closet door, she grabs a box from the top shelf and brings it over to her desk. Opening it swiftly to find... shoes?

"Those aren't guns."

"Did you macgyver them into guns?"

"These heels are pointy, but I was hoping for a deadly projectile."

"I don't understand."

Why would the guns not be there? She always kept them there, why aren't they there then?

"Maybe you left them somewhere else."

"There's a six-year-old in the house. I know where I keep my guns."

Mack gestures to her nose, feeling of it's still there. She almost bit it off with that answer. We all want to get out of here but chill out Nance!

"And also, I threw these away years ago."

As she's wondering where they are, her eyes drift to her desk where a few flashcards are laying. Why would she be studying? As she remembers showing them to Steve 3 years ago, it slowly starts to make sense.

"I get that grades are important to you, but perhaps studying can wait till we get out?"

"These are from sophomore chemistry. And this... this wallpaper, this is old wallpaper. And this mirror, this went to a yard sale."

"I get that your interior design is anything but tasteful but can we get to the point?"

As she's running around her room, frantically, listing why things don't make sense, she eventually stops when she opens a book and reads it.

"What is it?"

"Nancy? You're freaking me out."

"I think the reason that my guns aren't here is because they don't exist yet."

"They don't... exist?"

"They just vanished in thin air, huh?"

"This diary should be full of entries. It's not. The last entry is November 6, 1983. The day Will went missing."

They all stand in silence for a second, you can almost hear the gears turning in their head but Mack is the first to speak up.

"So that means, the day this Will kid went missing, is the day the upside down got created? And it's stuck in the past?"

Nancy looks at Mack and nods, that's when they hear Steve scream.

"Dustin! Dustin!"

They all rush downstairs, wanting to know what the fuck wrong is with Steve.
