   Summary

   When Mike is packing his suitcase for his college departure, Eleven decides to help with the tasks. But things take a turn when Mike gets ready to pack the painting Will made for him in his bag and Eleven looks like she has never seen it before. Then Mike, realizes; she hasn't.

   After a short conversation and a whole bunch of realizations, Mike comes to the conclusion that he needs to let Will know how he feels before they leave for college. The only problem? Will is already at the airport getting ready to board his oneway flight to NYC.
