"Well, if it's not frostbite, then what is it?"
"It's disgusting is what it is, Carol," Gwen scrunches up her face.
"Yeah, seriously. Listen to Pengwen and get it off the table. We're eating h...

They had a plan. Kind of.
Eleven had been the one to initially open the gate to the Upside down, and she thinks she can close it. Now they just have to figure out how exactly they're going to execute this plan.
"It's not like it was before," Hopper sighs. Everyone sat around the kitchen table again, Joyce and Gwen being the only two actually sitting. "It's grown. A lot. And, I mean, that's considering we can even get in there. The place is crawling with those dogs."
Dustin's head perks up. "Demo-dogs."

"I thought that was the whole point," Max says.
"It is," Mike catches on. "But if we're really right about this... if El closes the gate and kills the mind flayer's army..."
Lucas nods. "Will's a part of that army."
"Closing the gate will kill him."
Everyone shares an uncomfortable look. Gwen can't help but feel horrible for Joyce. She's lost her boyfriend already, she can't handle losing her son too.
