Hopper is taken captive by government agents, and they reveal that they know about Eleven’s existence. They make a deal with Hopper: they’ll release him if he promises to keep quiet about their existence. But Hopper seems to have other plans.
Meanwhile, Nancy and Jonathan meet a conspiracy theorist named Murray Bauman to try to uncover the truth about what happened to Barb. They stage a fake breakup to draw attention to their story, but their investigation throws them off course.
