Townspeople gathered to mourn will Byers, 'celebrating' his life, at Roan county cemetery. No one in the crowd knew him, all faking their 'sadness'. Except for his friends and their families. Pastor Charles, an evangelical pastor of Hawkins respected by those who know him, read a passage from his bible.
" Fear not, for I am with you, for I am your god. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will up-hold you with my righteous right hand."
Joyce, blank faced and eyes faraway in abandoned hope, turns them to the empty chair at her side reserved for Melissa.
'She isn't back. Where is she?'
Jonathan lowers his head to his mother.
" I asked Amanda, and Katherine, about Milly's whereabouts. Kat said her and hopper were seen, together, yesterday. but the last she heard of Mel was when she left a note saying she is helping chief with something." He states, showcasing he too is worried of his sister's location. Lonnie does a little shake of his head. " If she doesn't show up in the next five minutes, I am going to personally go get her. I don't care if she, and chief hopper, are havin' a little date." Joyce, complicate of his use of tone, is confused with how Lonnie spoke.
'Date? Hopper? Milly? He's saying a whole of nonsense. Goodness me.'
" it's times like these that our faith is challenged. How, if he is truly benevolent, could god take from us someone so young, so innocent? It would be easy to turn away from god. But, we must remember that nothing, not even tragedy, can separate us from his love."

Karen wheeler is the first to give her sorrows and condolences to Lonnie then Joyce, but she understood giving boundaries and not push Joyce to open up. " I appreciate it. Thank you so much." Ted, Mike wheelers father, shook lonnie by his hand. Amanda— well aware of who and what kind of man Lonnie Byers is— critically glanced over his hand in a once over, not hiding her indifference, giving him a cold shoulder. Guiding Lucas past the man. " Dick."

Awakening from being incapacitated, drugged and sweating, Jim gasps. Memories of the day before rushing back, Melissa lays knocked out, on his chest, she wore hoppers fleece shirt with a blanket engulfing her figure. If it was under a different circumstance hoppers would've enjoy having Milly on him.
