- Demodogs infiltrate Hawkins lab killing many of the scientists there. Mike realizes that the shadow monster is using Will to spy on them and that they need to put Will to sleep so he won't be able to hurt them. Will fights this and Joyce asks if he knows who she is. Will hesitates for a while before identifying her as his mother. They administer a sedative and Will falls unconscious.
Billy is home preparing for a date. His father and stepmother (Max's mother) come home and tell him that Max is missing. Billy's father is revealed to be abusive to Billy, giving the viewer an insight as to why Billy is so angry and violent all the time. Billy's father insists that Billy find Max.
Hopper, carrying Will, takes Joyce, Mike, Bob, and Dr. Owens into a locked room. The power has gone out of the building which means that the entire lab is on lock down. The only way to get out is to reset the breakers and reboot the computer system to open the doors. The only one who can do this is Bob who understands the computer programming language. Bob gets to the basement and successfully puts the power back on, and reboots the computer system, unlocking the doors. This allows Hopper, Joyce, Mike, and the unconscious Will to escape to safety. Owens stays behind to guide Bob safely out of the lab using the surveillance cameras and walkie talkies. Bob makes it to the door, but a demodog attacks and kills him. The others escape to Joyce's house, meeting with Nancy, Jonathan, Steve, Dustin, and Max on the way.
At Joyce's house, they discuss how to kill the Shadow Monster and save the world. Mike realizes that Will knows how to defeat it, but they have to get to Will to learn how. Since Will's connection with the shadow monster puts them in danger, they empty out Joyce's shed and cover all the walls so Will won't know where he is. They tie will to a chair and wake him up. Joyce and Jonathan tell Will stories about his childhood, asking if he remembers. The shadow monster has possessed Will so much that it appears that Will as they know him is no longer there, but Hopper notices Will tapping and realizes that he is communicating in Morse code. He first taps "HERE," indicating that he is still present and wants to talk to them. Next, he taps out "CLOSE GATE," which is how to defeat the shadow monster.
The phone rings at Joyce's house, alerting Will (and the shadow monster) to their location. The demodogs leave the lab and head for Joyce's house. Just then a dead demodog is hurled through the window and an unseen force unlocks the door. The door opens to reveal Eleven.
