Summary
Jason took a gap year. He had gotten into Purdue the year prior, but that was his plan with Chrissy, and now that she was—he didn’t want to admit it, but he wasn’t ready. His mother said that recognizing he wasn’t ready for something was a sign of maturity, so at least he had that in his favor. He was sure he could spin it in his next round of college essays. He just had to figure out what the hell he was doing around Hawkins.
Really, as soon as he had the question in his mind, he also had the answer: keeping watch. Somehow or other Eddie Munson had gotten off the hook for homicide several times over, even with Jason’s own eyewitness testimony.
Someone needed to be looking out for Hawkins, and it clearly wasn’t going to be the police. Jason picked up his dad’s gun, feeling the comforting solid weight of it in his hand. This is for you, Chrissy, he thought, and went to patrol.

Or: The Party’s plan goes off without a hitch and they avert the apocalypse. The government cleans up. And Jason Carver, in the summer of 1986, reckons with the fact that his girlfriend died horribly, he saw a series of horrifying supernatural events, he led a witch hunt, and the government threatened him into staying quiet.
