Previously...wow, they seem determined to include every plot point from the past two episodes in this clip show. I think they're trying to make it look more exciting than it is, since the shootings and explosions are prominently featured. So, previously: stuff blew up and everyone was ridiculous.

We open with shots of Hawkins putting on protective gear. He duct tapes it tight around his wrists and ankles and slips on a respirator. Then "18 hours after the bombs" fills the screen. Well, that settles that question. Those of you working on "maybe it was killer bees" scenarios will have to decide if you dare defy the all-knowing, all-seeing caption.

It's still raining as Hawkins parks a product-placed U-Haul truck and opens the back. He seems to have arrived at a self-storage facility of some kind. He unlocks a unit, looks around suspiciously, and then enters and pulls the door closed.

Casa Richmond's storm cellar. Emily is huddled up next to the preserves. Jake loudly tells one of the rescued cops, "She's still not talking." The cop wonderingly says that even he's never killed anyone, so he can't imagine how upset Emily must be. Emily rubs her head and decides against pointing out that she's not the deaf one. Bonnie wonders where Stanley is. Jake confidently says, "When the rain stops, he'll be back. Don't worry." Bonnie turns her back on him in a huff, and then there's some obvious looping as Jake adds, "I know Stanley, he'll be fine." Emily rubs her head some more and decides against pointing out that Bonnie is the deaf one. The other cop announces that he's finally reached Eric on the radio.

Town hall shelter. Eric tells Jake that they found Dad. Jake reminds Eric that as soon as the rain stops, they have to go dig out the mine: "I'm more worried the explosion might have put some debris into the ventilator." It's nice that the possibility occurred to him afterward. Eric says that they haven't been able to contact anyone at the mine.

In the spacious mine, Heather is distributing bottled water. She goes to check on a bearded, bald chap who turns out to be another teacher named Scott Rennie. He's a little tense, and says that he's having trouble breathing. Heather advises him to have some water. Scott takes a sip, and as a result feels good enough to look around in mild panic and wail, "I can't do this! Gotta get outside!"
