Summary
He's in the market for a house, it's not his fault the Creel Murder House is the cheapest place he can find. It's kind of the perfect house, really, Steve's got a big family.
Eddie fumbles in rolling the blunt. They’re sitting in Eddie’s room while he rolls on the tray balanced on his knees. “You’re — you’re giving me a key?”
“Yeah. I don’t know if you want to move out of here but uh… option is there if you uhm, need it?”
He stays staring at Steve, fingers paused over the tray like the ridiculous caricature of a stoner caught red handed by the cops. “For real? What about rent?”
“Yeah man, of course. I know you haven’t been sleeping great here for obvious reasons and like, a new place isn’t going to help that much but…” He shrugs. “Got more rooms than I know what to do with, so fuck rent. I’m getting keys for you and Rob next week and maybe some for the kids, I don’t know if I trust them with keys to my house.”

Summary
Vickie worries about how the future will look in Hawkins. Hawkins that will always be so dangerous for people like her, like Robin.
At first it all seemed easy, maybe it does all still feel easy for Robin, but for Vickie it’s all falling apart before her eyes. It seems childish now, to ever think any of this could be easy. Like maybe Boston could be their home for a little while and then they’d go running back home to Steve and Eddie and the safety of Hawkins but it’s not that easy, is it.
Boston is — Boston is wonderful. It’s not like everyone’s running around kissing who they want to kiss, or anything, but there’s a safety in anonymity in the city, and more of a community than four barely-adults in a big, creepy house. It’s just that Vickie had never thought she could have anything like this. Before Robin, she had resigned herself to just sticking with what was easier. White picket fence life. She would have been fine, is the problem, she could have loved that life with the right man. (Sometimes she’s half convinced she wants to run — leave Robin and just — but she doesn’t, she won’t, that’s not what she wants at all.)
