Just previously, the body of Will has been brought in by a mass of police cars. At least we think it is Will. Joyce refuses to believe it is him. When she goes to identify the body, she is convinced that this "thing" is not him. Meanwhile, the kids dress Eleven up in more conventional girl clothes with a blond wig. They are able to hear Will's voice on a walkie talkie. Nancy goes to the party house and sees a faceless creature. Joyce had previously been chased by a faceless creature from inside her bedroom wall. Jim Hopper continues to investigate why there was so much attention paid to Will's body, and he gets information from the man who discovered the body. He now knows that there is more to the story than meets the eye. Joyce has another incident, Things come to quite a head as this ends. Great storytelling. Better than most television.
