Totally out of place and unnecessary. This felt like when network TV shows used to spend an episode setting up one character's spin-off series. Absolutely hated this episode, and I've loved all the rest.

Easily the weakest episode of ST2 up until now. What were they thinking going away from the boys and doing this just so 11 ends up with an epiphany and goes back to Hawkins? Needless to say looking for a sibling who turns out has taken the evil/criminal road line is one of the most overused plot lines in the history of television and is so unworthy of this show.

one of the worst filler episode i've ever seen
