"I found him," El says.
"Where is he?" I ask.
El was now looking for Hopper.
"Woods," she replies.
"Woods," Lucas repeats.
"He's with... Will's mom," she states.
"My- my mom?" Will questions.
"What are they doing?" Max asks, with a disgusted face.
"Ill...annoy. They're going to ill-annoy," she says.
"Mike! Breakfast!" Mrs.Wheeler shouts at the top of the stairs.
"Not now, mom!" Mike shouts.
Mike turns back to El.
"Illinois? Illinois like the state?" Mike questions. "The state of Illinois?"
"No, like the city," I say sarcastically.
I walk into the bathroom with Max and El. Max puts a rag underwater and begins to clean off El's blood.
"Does it still hurt?" Max asks.
El lifts her neck and rubs the bruise that she got from Billy.
"Only when I talk," she replies.
"Well, it's a good thing you're not Mike, then," Max says. "Blah, blah, blah, blah. You'd be in constant pain."
We all chuckle and realize that we can hear the boys talking about El.
"She said she dumped your ass. That doesn't sound like a break," Will whispers.
"It wasn't!" Max says loud enough for them to hear.
"You guys do realize we can hear everything you're saying, right?" I say.
We laugh and then hear a knock.
"Not now, mom!" Mike yells.
"Mike, open the door," Nancy demands.
"Nancy?" I say.
I walk out of the bathroom and look up at the locked door. Mike walks upstairs and opens the door to reveal Jonathan and Nancy standing there.

"It was the same thing, the same thing that happened to Will last year," Nancy states. "And look at this. Look at the body temperature."
She puts the paper down on the table and sees that the body temperatures are low.
"He likes it cold," Will says.
"Okay, so this crazy old woman who is eating fertilizer-"
"Mrs.Driscoll," Nancy corrects.
"Right, yeah, Mrs.Driscoll. What time was the attack?" Mike asks.
"Last night," Nancy answers.
"Yeah, but what time last night?" Mike asks.
"Around nine," she answers.
"You waited all night to call?" Jonathan questions.
"I was waiting for the doctors to run some tests," Nancy says in her defense.
"You weren't there?" Will questions.
"Well, I'm here now, aren't I?" Jonathan says defensively.
"Hallelujah," Nancy and I say.
We look at each other and chuckle.
"Um, so, what- what time was your sauna test?" Nancy asks.
"Around nine," we all answer.
