In Season 3, Hopper's increasing frustration with Eleven’s growing independence becomes evident as we witness his internal struggle between wanting to protect her and respecting her need for freedom. When Hopper catches wind of Eleven and Mike's relationship, let’s just say he’s not exactly jumping for joy. In full dad mode, he drops the hammer, insisting that they maintain at least '3 inches' of distance, with a fierce authority only a father can have. It’s amusing but also impossibly sweet.
