   Summary

   A spray-painted insult on the cinema marquee sparks more than just a fight in a back alley. Between the punches and the dirt, the line between hatred and something else begins to blur for Steve Harrington and Jonathan Byers. As Nancy watches the two boys she loves tear each other apart, Steve finds himself caught in a sticky situation he can't explain, and a violence that feels a lot like a kiss.
