Summary
An alternate reality where Hopper doesn't get trapped behind the Russian portal drill and makes it out alive with Joyce and Murray. Another difference is that the scene with Joyce asking Hopper on a date never happened, Instead rather, they end up becoming rather distant from each other. Hopper still feels for her but does she feel the same way back?
After the collapse of the Starcourt Mall Joyce is busier than ever with her job at Melvald's as the customers flow back into downtown Hawkins. She want's to spend more time with her loved ones, but doesn't feel like she can afford the time. She most of all feels like she's betrayed her friendship with Hopper, but feels like she wants space after the events that took place this recent summer and the previous November, still recovering from the death of her former lover Bob Newby.
Meanwhile Eleven and Mike continue to spend most of their days off with one another, which inspires Hopper to push his daughter to expand her friend circle, and hang out with more of the other kids like Will, or Max.
