Hmm... maybe the lab or something?

That was the one unanswered question I always have about S1 lmao

Maybe they put Hopper’s black car in a junk shop in Hawkins. Or maybe in a lab or somewhere else where it is safe?

that was the one unanswered thing about season 1, I hope they answer it in the next season. my guess is they took him to the lab and told him that el could still be alive which might be why he left the food out for her idk 🤧
