"I wish we could all meet back there," El whispers, as if completing Mike's thoughts. She breaks the plain waffle in half and offers it to him. "Home. Then we could all be together."

Summary
The thing is, El has never understood the concept of personal space. Since she came back in 1984, ever since she integrated in their lives so smoothly and so warmly, Mike has had to get used to the fact that El treats distance with him as a personal insult.
To lose her then was to lose a beautiful, wonderful, magical, tragic mystery from a little week of his childhood; to lose her now would be to lose his own heart.
Or, seventeen-year-olds dealing with love. Set just before Season 5, ep 1.
