-Do you think it's back? -asked Eleven
-No! There is no way, my m-mom can't be... -said Will
Eleven looked at the window and she could see Joyce smoking and Owen talking with her.
-You know...The Mind Flayer has no reason to be attached to Joyce...
-You're wrong! -interrupted Jonathan
-Wh-Why?
-Why? Because she lost Bob and Hopper and almost Will! All of them in front of her eyes! She's now fragile, she is feeling guilty, she thinks it was her fault.
-But it's not! -yelled Will
-Exactly and we need to make her see that!
-What's your idea? -asks Will
-I'm still thinking on it...

-What do you see when you are...there?
Joyce looks down at the grass and in a sigh she says:
-I saw...Ho-Hopper.
-You saw him...
-I know what I saw! It was him and there is no way you're going to be able to prove me wrong!
Owen sighs and looks at Joyce in the eyes. She looks back but she seriously says:
-There was one thing, he w-was different...
-What do you mean? Different?
-He was all blurred but something that shock me more was his b-behavior...He w-was angry at m-me.
-Did he touch you?
-N-No...Why you ask s-so?
-Because we don't know if it's the Mind Flayer.
Owen gets back and leaves Joyce who almost stopped breathing and confused goes after him.
-W-Wait! You think it g-got Hopper?!
-Joyce, Hopper is...gone.
Those words made Joyce inhale strongly and angry she screams at him:
-Listen! You don't know for sure! I know very well what I saw! IT WAS HIM!
Joyce beats him with her shoulder that only reaches his elbow. She angrily also yells:
-And don't you even dare tell me he is g-go-gone again!
Owen heard a door shut loudly and he rolls his eyes and goes to the van and leaves back to Hawkins .

-Mom? What happened?
-Nothing, I need a bath...
Joyce leaves the kids confused looking at each other and goes to the bathroom.
Eleven hears someone knocking on the door, but before she opens she sees a black van stopping near.
She opened the door 3 inches when she sees a big guy and she immediately closes it.
-Jonathan? Did you ordered something?
-Me? No, why would I?
-There's a black van standing out there and...
She is stopped by the same guy knocking again at the door.
