Everyone watches Mike and Eleven embrace for the first time in what they said was 353 days. Hopper admits to hiding her and Mike loses his shit.
Eleven embraces Dustin and Lucas and she sticks her finger in his mouth.
"Teeth. You have teeth."
"Oh yeah. You like these pearls?" Dustin asks followed by a cat purr causing El to jump. She looks at Olivia with confusion.
"Yeah he does that every time someone mentions his teeth." She says. Olivia grabs a rag and hands it to her to wipe her nose before hugging her.
"Thanks for the secret." She says.
"No problem. Are you okay?" She nods.
"Eleven? I'm Max." Max sticks out her hand. "I've heard a lot about you." Eleven ignores her and hugs Joyce before the two go see Will. "Does she not like me or something?" The boys and Olivia shrug.
"Can't imagine why." Olivia says. "Giver her time. Everyone's tensions are high right now. She just has to get to know you first. You're a very likable person."
Joyce and Eleven come back out to see the CLOSE GATE sign.
"Do you think you can close it?" Joyce asks.
"Yes."

Billy rings the doorbell at the Wheeler house and a woman in a robe answers the door.
"Oh hi." Billy says. 'Oh fuck. Okay quick, turn on the Billy Hargrove charm.' "I didn't know Nancy had a sister." Mrs. Wheeler chuckles.
"I'm Nancy's Mom." She smiles.
"No." Billy leans against the doorway.
"Yes."
"Mrs. Wheeler..." 'Alright just flirt a little. It won't hurt. You're just looking for Max. Olivia wouldn't mind this. It's for Max.'
"And you are?"
"Billy. Billy Hargrove." They take each other's hand and Billy places his other hand on top.
"You must be here for Nancy."
"Nancy? No. Not my type." 'Far from it.' "I'm looking for my sister Max. Goes by Maxine. She's been missing all day and I've been worried sick. I thought she was at Lucas' but Mrs. Sinclair said your house is the hangout spot. So..." Billy leans in. "Here I am."
