Summary
She hears about the slugs from Jonathan, who was told by Nancy, who found out from Mike, who had caught Will vomiting one up in the school bathroom and who had, subsequently, squashed it into a long, greasy smear on the floor with the toes of his sneakers.
Which makes Joyce the fourth person to learn that her son still carries pieces of the upside-down deep inside of him.

Summary
Nobody realises that Hopper had traded Eleven's safety for Will's, so everybody agrees that he should be the one who looks after her now that she's back and whole and safe again, an indelible part of their messed-up circle. He thinks that Eleven deserves better, so much better than a washed-up police chief who's already done wrong by her and who can barely keep himself together without building a latticework of masks around himself, but she doesn't have better.
She has him, and so it goes that he has her, too.
