    Summary

    Everyone in Hawkins knows how things are supposed to work. Alphas lead, omegas follow, and people grow into the roles they're meant to fill. Mike is expected to present alpha, just like his father. Will Byers is expected to present omega, just like everyone assumes.

    But expectations have a funny way of being wrong.

    When Will presents alpha, Mike begins to realize that the rules everyone built their lives around might not be nearly as reliable as they think.
