THEORY about last episode (SPOILERS INSIDE)
Unless i missed something we actually dont see any commie being arrested by the americans. When the complex is raided there isnt a single russian there, so it is possible and reasonable that the complex had a sort of escape route (they had generators in different farms so not that far-fetched that there is also an emergency exit somewhere) so before the machine exploded the russians took Hop and skedaddle as fast as they could. Thoughts?

Entirely plausible, I mean it makes sense the Russian base would have more than one exit. Steve outright pointed out that having only one was a fire hazard at its most mundane. If Hopper did survive the blast, its entirely possible he was kidnapped by the fleeing Russians, who realised the game was up and legged it so they wouldn't be sent to prison.
Totally forgot about this!
Its easy to miss. But this show is good at subtle foreshadowing, I doubt they would have had him bring up the practical dangers of the base unless it was to hint they had thought of it.
