Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
(Sorry for the lateness. Comic-Con delay, doncha know. I'll keep this brief.)
At the end of last week's episode, it seemed like Anita's stay with the Hawkins family had come to an end. Fortunately, "Episode 3" immediately squashed that and put her back in the household, now with Laura questioning her own original suspicions of malfunction.
