He almost seemed to see her through the glass, but couldn't quite make her out. She did peer in the window just in time to overhear Mike being told how dangerous she was to him and his family, which seemed to motivate her to flee the scene.

She quickly found an escape hatch back to the regular version of Hawkins and Eleven went right to Mike's house, but it was so swarmed with government agents that she couldn't go in. Episode 2 caught up with her right after her defeat of the monster, when she was transported to the Upside Down and immediately started calling for Mike. He has no idea if she is alive or dead or trapped in the Upside Down like Will had been for so long, waiting to be rescued.Įleven is also obviously missing Mike. He was heading right into the surly stage of being a preteen, but watching your friend get sucked into an alternate universe is a pretty good excuse for being moody. Throughout the first two episodes of Stranger Things 2, Mike was visibly reeling from Eleven's disappearance, as evidenced by the fact that he was acting out so much that his parents were handing out punishments left and right. For a moment it seemed like Eleven was responding when Mike heard someone say his name on the line, but he couldn't be certain that it was her.

In the first episode, he tried to contact her through his walkie talkie, but got little more than static for his trouble. Eleven's defeat of the Demogorgon in the finale left her fate uncertain, but the second season of Stranger Things made it clear that Mike hasn't given up hope that she is OK. So when do Eleven and Mike reunite on Stranger Things? Unfortunately, they don't really interact at all in the first two episodes of the season, though they come very close a few times.Įleven and Mike had an especially close friendship because she was hiding out in the blanket fort in his basement, and by the end of the first season it was clear a little tween romance was brewing between them. Mike in particular wanted to know what happened to her and they were in the same town, so they could have theoretically crossed paths at any time. Warning: spoilers from Episode 2 ahead! When it was revealed at the end of Episode 1 of Stranger Things Season 2 that Eleven was not only still alive, but out of the Upside Down, it seemed strange that she hadn't reconnected with her old friends.
