Does the Mind Flayer return to the Upside Down world?
During the seasons of Stranger Things we can see that the Mind Flayer can join a human and has power over the host.
Will was the first one to suffer this but they could take it out before the portal was closed by Eleven.
Does the Mind Flayer that was inside Will return back to the Upside Down world or it stays in Hawkings?
Because in the 3rd season, Will tries to explain to the rest of the group that maybe he didn't return to his world. And at the start of the last season we can see that when the Russians were trying to open it and some "tentacles" or something similar were emerging.

According to Will in the season 3 episode, The Sauna Test, it appears while most of the Mind Flayer may still exist in the Upside Down and is probably running the show from there, another part of it still existed in Hawkins, as it (or at least, this part of it) was seeking to become more corporeal during the course of season 3.

MAX: I don't understand.The Demodogs died when El closed the gate. If the brain dies, the body dies.

ELEVEN: How can you tell if someone is a host?
In addition there is even a brief conversation from the kids in another scene about "mixing chemicals" in order to make "a new substance" to explain away why the victims were eating certain things, but in all honesty, there isn't enough information to necessarily understand the Mind Flayer's full plan with the chemical-eating subplot.
