We start off with Eleven trying to track down her "sister" aka another child Brenner kidnapped, in case we forgot what an evil monster that guy was (is?)

El finds her in Chicago and overhears Aunt Becky (have mercy) tattling on her to Flo at the Hawkins police Dept.

El then starts her episode-long crime spree by stealing Becky's money and getting out of there, leaving Terry in her dream circle like the rebellious daughter she's been all season

Dressed in her most bada** bibbed overalls, El hits the mean streets of Chicago where she finds the island of misfit toys...

Meet Kali, aka 008 aka "sister"

She's a traumatized victim of the government who's the human version of an acid trip, she can like make you totally see glowing butterflies, it's like a total trip man, far out.

She's also totally healed of her trauma, completely, I mean she talks like someone who is emotionally dead inside but she's totally healed guys, we know this because she says it over and over and because healed people always travel around the country murdering all the people who've wronged them.

There's also the rest of the gang

Axel- he's pretty much just the joker with a mohawk and is scared of spiders

Mick- she worries and drives the van

Dottie- harley quinn/raggedy ann

and Funshine- he's a teddy bear (and I do actually like him because he's nice to 'miss jane')

learn them, know them, love them because you will never see any of these characters ever again.

Kali tells El that anger is good and forgiveness is bad and she should be angry enough to move a train car so El does that... then she gets a makeover that is apparently "bitchin"

They shoplift, El steals Eggos, Kali makes a good point actually about capitalism in the middle of a gas station where it won't actually change anything

THEN

Kali takes El to a man's home to break in and terrify him and his children and then tries to force El to murder him. El thankfully does not turn to the darkside and remains a Jedi who uses 'the force' for good by knocking the gun right out of Kali's (not traumatized anymore seriously guys) hand and straight out the window, anakin skywalker she is not, she's Luke

Then in true Kali fashion she gets revenge for that by making El see Brenner again to retraumatize her and I guess make a point or something?

"ELEVEN krr I am your FATHA krr"

But El doesn't really like putting up with this acid trip nightmare dad and screams at Kali to stop making her hallucinate her abuser like a cruel heartless b*tch

El checks in on her real dad the policeman aka daddy hopper a couple times and at the end sees that he and mike are in danger so she must use the force to destroy the Deathstar... wait wrong show...

the warehouse gets raided so Kali makes them invisible which is honestly pretty freaking cool and then they leave but before they can pull off El tells Kali that she is in fact not up for serial killing across the usa and has to return to the north pole to help santa guide the sleigh... oh crap wrong thing again

Anyway El tells her she has a better island of misfits to get to and admits her friends might not be able to save her but she can save them because she is *that bitch* and we all love her... she's going home because home is not a place, it's the people she loves :'(
