Rachel wakes up as she hears Joyce speaking she immediately gets up, as she walks towards the voice, she stops infront of Will's room, she opened it as she saw Joyce sitting on the edge of the bed with a bunch of lamps as she mumbled words she couldn't quite understand. "Mom?" She whispers as Joyce turns towards her, "Rachel.." She sighs, "What's wrong?" Rachel asks as she approached her, sitting next to her. Jonathan waked inside the room too as he had a confused look, "Jonathan come here, come here." Joyce says sniffling, "What is this?" Jonathan says looking at both girls, "Come here!" Joyce insisted as Jonathan quickly sat on her right while Rachel sat on her left. "What's going on?" Jonathan asks, "It's Will. It's Will, he's...", Joyce starts , "He's talking to me.." Joyce says as she looks at both teenagers, "He's trying to talk to you?" Rachel asks looking at her, "Yes through... through the lights" Joyce says her voice shaky, "Mom-" Jonathan says not believing a word, "I know. I know" Joyce said cutting him off. "Just.. watch." Joyce as she looks at the lamps, "Will... your brothers are here," Joyce says looking around "Can you show them what you showed me, baby?" She continued speaking her voice cracking.
"Please...", She whispers before a lamp flickered for a second as she gasps, "Did you see that?" She says pointing the lamp that flickered, "It's the electricity, Mom." Jonathan speaks as Rachel stared at the lamp with no emotion, Jonathan and Joyce continued arguing, Rachel knew Joyce was telling the truth, but it wasn't the right time to tell her what was happening, Joyce deserved to know the truth but she couldn't tell her. Rachel snapped back to reality as Jonathan walked towards the kitchen... "Mom? What about the wall?" Rachel asks standing up from the bed "Something... some claws digged trough the wall..." Joyce says sobbing, Rachel looked at the wall approaching and touching it searching for any scratch, "There's nothing here, mom.." Rachel says turning towards Joyce, "You don't believe. Don't you?" Joyce spoke looking at her, "What-? No, no... I do believe you mom.. don't ever doubt that.. but, you need to rest, okay? just leave the lights and the wall go get some rest, okay?" Rachel says looking at Joyce smiling a bit. "Okay..." Joyce whispers, "Promise me?" Rachel insisted smiling, as Joyce nodded smiling too.
*The Wheelers basement *
Mike, Lucas, Dustin and Riley were around the table, while El was chilling on the sofa playing with the walkie-talkie. "We just tell our parents we have AV Club after school," Mike says looking at Dustin "That'll give us at least a few hours for Operation Mirkwood." Lucas says as everyone went silent, "You seriously think that the weirdo knows where Will is?" Lucas asks unsure about the plan, "Just trust me on this, okay?" Mike says looking at Lucas, "Okay." He says as the two siblings nodded along. "Did you get the supplies?" Mike asks as Lucas grabbed his bag nodding, "Binoculars... from 'Nam," He says placing the Binoculars on the table, "Army knife also from 'Nam" He placed the knife on the table too, "Hammer, camouflage bandana... and the wrist rocker." Lucas says smiling as he held the wrist rocket, "You're gonna take out the Demogorgon with a slingshot? " Dustin spoke looking at Lucas annoyedly, "First of all, it's a wrist rocket," He says annoyed, "And second of all, the Demogorgon's not real.", "it's made up." He ads leaning in, "But if there is something out there, I'm gonna shoot it in the eye... and blind it" Lucas says proudly, Mike sighs as he turns to Dustin, "Dustin, what did you get?" Mike asks as Dustin turn the backpack upside down so that the things fall out reveling food.
