Driving Will to school, Bob Newby recalls a clown who haunted his dreams for months until he stopped running and told it to go away.

Bob talks Joyce through a VHS-C adapter in jargon she cannot follow; once the tape plays she sees the kids taunting Will and his panic.

Bob drops by to help a sick Will, Joyce turns him away at the door, then changes her mind and calls him back.

Asked to find the X with no questions, Bob spots Lovers' Lake and the rivers and works out the vines are a map of the town.

Bob tells Joyce about the papers he signed and jokes about Maine, then Will wakes up and does not know who he is.

Only Bob knows BASIC, so he insists on going down to the basement alone. Hopper teaches him the gun in four words, and Bob promises to get everyone out.

Alone in the dark basement, Bob resets the breakers and reboots the system while Nancy and Jonathan rattle the gate outside. The locks release and he cheers.

The stairwell is no longer clear. Bob improvises with an extinguisher, hands over the radio, and is talked through the corridors until he has to hide.

Told he is almost home free, Bob makes a break for the lobby. Joyce arrives just in time to watch and Hopper has to drag her away.

Grieving at the Byers house, the kids remember Bob founded Hawkins AV, then Dustin defends his compound word and Mike realises the army answers to one master.
