Summary
In an effort to close the Master Gate that’s tearing Hawkins apart, Eleven makes a deal with the Mind Flayer: the Hive will contain the threat of Henry's power as long as people stay out of the Upside Down. Interests mutual for once, they work together to seal the gates for good—but in His final act of infuriated defeat, Henry captures Mike as the barrier between worlds closes, never to reopen.
Will is the only one around when Mike is taken. He’s the only one who believes Mike is still alive, stuck in Henry’s clutches and in desperate need of a rescue.
When Eleven and the others refuse to break the world-saving truce without proof that it won’t be a wasted effort with disastrous consequences, Will is left trying to find answers (and Mike) on his own.

Summary
His brain finally catches up with Mike’s words, and Mike is saying things like, “C’mon, Will—you can do it,” and “I’m so proud of you,” and “Don’t rush, it’s okay.” In the softest tone imaginable, and if Will maybe pretends to still be a little more out of it than he actually is just to keep hearing Mike talk to him like that—well, that’s his business.

After Season 5 Vol.1, Mike refuses to leave Wills side.
