Marcus opened the car door and felt oddly comfortable being back in Hawkins, "Home sweet home." He knew he needed to head home and let Mabel know what had happened. He felt bad that he just up and left with no warning.
Burgundy looked up at the Byers house, "Does it feel eerily quiet to you?"
Marcus gave her a look, "Don't freak me out."
Jonathan pushed the door open to his house to see papers scattered around the entire house, taped absolutely everywhere, "What..."
"What is all of this?" Nancy questioned as she stepped further inside, even looking down at her feet since there was papers under them.
Jonathan breathed heavily as he took everything in, "I don't know." He gave Nancy a worried look before he sprinted around the house, "Mom? Will?"
Burgundy walked into his room and picked up polaroid casings, "Jonathan!"
"What?" Jonathan walked into the room and looked down at it, "I don't shoot Polaroid."
"You don't." Burgundy confirmed.
Marcus grew confused, "What?"
"This isn't mine." Jonathan explained to all of them, "Someone else has been here?"
"Like... someone from Hawkin's Lab?" Marcus breathed out and brought his hands up to his head, "Oh, shit... We should go check on Daphne."
"No." Nancy stopped them, "We need to head to the lab. If they have Daphne, she'd be there, so there's no point checking in on her."
Jonathan did not seem entirely convinced, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Nancy..." Marcus finally said something. He finally spoke up. "We all know you have an issue with Daphne, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't go and check on her."
"Okay, yeah, I don't really like Daphne. It's just not fair that she got to come back and not Barb, but I am making a good point. Either way, she being home or the lab. Home she's safe and the lab, we'll see her there."
Burgundy put her hands on her hips, "Fuck, fine. Lets go."

Daphne stayed in her bed as doctors brought Will out. She sank further in her bed and looked to her arms, the faint scars on her skin. She swallowed and stared at the door. She shut her eyes and furrowed her brows. She breathed in deeply and started to ram the back of her head into the metal of the gurney. She repeated the action until a doctor came rushing in.
"Miss Blake-" A few doctors came in to stop her. "Miss Blake-"
"No." Was the only word she could muster. "No. No. No! No! No. No. No."
"Miss Blake-"
"No. No!"
Hopper was brought into the room, pulling him away from whatever Will was doing. "What is going on?"
