"Whenever she uses her powers, she gets weak."The group stood in the kitchen as Mike gave an explanation.

"The more energy she uses, the more tired she gets." Bailey began to comprehend this young girl a little bit better after Dustin's explanation.

"Like, she flipped the van earlier" stated Lucas.

"It was awesome." Dustin says with excitement.

"But she's drained" Mike answered.

"Well...How do we make her better?" Joyce asked as she tried to wrap her head around it.

"We don't. We just have to wait and try again." They didn't have much time to linger about after Mike's explanation.

"Well, how long?" Nancy inquired.

"I don't know."

"The bath." Turning around, they all saw Eleven standing close to the doorway. "I can find them..In the bath."

Following a protracted conversation with the boy's teacher. They choose to attend the middle school at Hawkins. All of them had distinct tasks to complete in order to locate Will and Barb as soon as possible. Bailey took on the easiest task, helping Dustin and Lucas build the pool.

Bailey couldn't help but chuckle at the boys' struggles because it didn't seem like the pool could ever be constructed. "Guys, you do realise that the pool needs water to stay upright, right?" They both turned to face him and then let go of the pool edges with annoyed looks.

Bailey observed the process of adding salt to the water pool when everyone eventually entered the gymnasium. To ensure it was suitable for Eleven, Dustin tested it.

Eleven got ready and entered the swimming pool. She relaxed and drifted. Right away, there was a flickering of the lights, followed by a blackout. Bailey observed as she only lingered and serenity enveloped the space.

"Barbara?" After a few moments of stillness, Eleven muttered. Nancy's expression brightened with optimism. Bailey held his breath.

"Is Barb okay? Is she okay?" Panicked, Nancy asked.

"Gone. Gone. Gone," Eleven spoke again, terror in her voice. Bailey closed his eyes, finding it hard to accept that the girl was really gone. Bailey was drawn nearer by Florence as she put her arm around him. She reached forward and took Nancy's hand in hers.

"Castle Byers," Eleven mumbled something. For a split second, everyone's hearts had stopped together. Joyce's refusal to give up on her kid was the catalyst for the beginning of it all."Will?" Joyce gasped in shock when Eleven asked a question.

"You... you tell him... tell him I'm coming" In the hopes that Eleven had heard her, Joyce said to her.

"Hurry." They could hear Will's voice on the radio. There, Will was living. All they had to do now was arrive at him precisely on time and they were almost out of time.

Bailey noticed Nancy cuddling up to herself as she sat down. He approached her and took a seat next to her. "I should have just stayed with her, but I told her to go and I went upstairs with Steve." She spoke while glancing at her hands and crying.

"Nancy, please don't hold it against yourself. I should've stayed, but I fled like a coward because I was afraid, I'm not sure why, but I was." Gazing at her while the girl dabbed at her eyes with the palm of her hand, Bailey spoke.

"Barb would be here, still." Nancy started crying. "She's not here anymore, and I have no one left."

Bailey gave her a quick glance before putting his hand gently into hers. "You have me, neither Jonathan nor I will truly be leaving." At that moment, he turned to discover Jonathan had entered the room. After Jonathan sat down next to Nancy, there was a hush over them.

"We have to go back to the station. Hopper, Bailey's parents, and your mother are just walking in there like bait." Nancy spoke, causing both boys to look at her. "That thing is still in there. And we can't just sit here and let it get them, too."

"We can't." Jonathan sighed.

"What do you recommend, Nancy Wheeler?"
Bailey asked.

"I wanna finish what we started- I want to kill it." She spoke, aware that it was now their responsibility to slay the monster who had taken away Jonathan's brother and their friend. Tonight was going to end it all.
