"Where are we going again?" Mike questions, him in the car along with Eleven and Dustin while Karen drives.
"To Lucas parents place." Karen responds.
"What did he hit one of them?" Mike questions sarcastically.
"Mike!" Eleven scolds. "You really need to stop!"
"Stop what?! Saying the truth?" Mike questions while glancing around at them. "I don't know about you guys but I am tired of Lucas attitude and him feeling like he can just use us as his punching bags and we are suppose to just go back to him with open arms! It's not fair!"
"It may not be fair Mike but Lucas is going through a lot." Karen mentions.
"As well as the rest of us! You are still trying to deal with a dead psychopath being your brother and uncovering the truth about your childhood! El is still trying to get over feeling like she was tricked by Henry and feeling like she started all of this and Dustin is still trying to get over Eddie's death!" Mike exclaims. "I am trying to fight my own demons! But he doesn't see that! Only just his own and Max's, and screw us right?!"
They all grow quiet because deep down they know that Mike is right with what he is saying, it is just the harsh realization of things but it is something they don't want to admit out loud because they know Lucas is struggling with something.
They all make it to Lucas parents place, all of them getting out of the car and knocking on the door. Sue is first to open the door, her motioning them in. They all turn to see Erica sweeping up some glass on the floor, then looking ahead of them to see Nancy and Steve and Robin here as well, them both sitting at the table, distant looks from their faces.
"Thank you all for coming." Sue mentions.
"Trust me we tried a intervention if this is what this is but it didn't work." Mike says.
"This isn't a intervention." Sue mentions.
"Well technically it is, just not the one you think." Erica says, throwing the glass away in the trash can.
They all go to sit at the table, Mike giving a look of confusion when he sees Charles go to sit down besides Sue, his eyes swollen and black. "Oh my god I was right!" Mike exclaims. "Did Lucas really hit you?!"
Eleven and Dustin both glance at each other with wide eyes.
"Truth be told he deserved it." Erica states simply.
"Erica!"
"Just the facts!"
"Why did he deserve it?" Mike directs at Erica.
They all turn to Lucas when they all see him make his way to the dinning room, him standing in front of the table. "Thank you all for coming." Lucas says, he goes to turn over to Sue. "Did Joyce..." he trails off.
"She did." Sue nods.
"Okay what the hell is going on here?!" Mike exclaims. "We are about to know why you socked your dad in the face?"
"Wheeler! Stop it!" Steve mentions irritably.
"No Steve it's fine." Lucas says, going to look at Mike. "You have every right to be mad at me, in fact all of you do."
"Why isn't Max here?" Eleven questions.
"Because she deserves to hear this alone." Lucas responds.
"Hear what?" Dustin questions.
Lucas takes a deep breath, his hands behind him while he looks down a little. "When I left that night at the hotel...I went to Ohio. There I found sensitive information, information that Karen was Henry's sister, that she was Alice Creel. That gave me what I needed to know where to go into the upside down to catch Vecna."
