Summary
In the summer of 1989, the Byers family moves to Montauk, cutting short Mike and Will's last summer together before college. Certain he'll never see his friend again, Will confesses his love on their last night together, rocking Mike's world entirely. As the tear-filled goodbyes draw to a close, however, Mike is suddenly offered the unexpected opportunity to travel with the Byers family and help them move.
They have five days out of state together to address Will's confession, learn to communicate, and maybe, just maybe, say a few things they should have said all along.

Summary
“What? No! I mean — I just meant—“ said Mike, struggling with the words, “I… I mean… who is it?” he turned back to Hugo, “Can we know their name? It might be somebody we know already.”
Will frowned, “I hope it’s not,” he said, “I don’t like anybody we know enough to marry them — except our friends, obviously, but that’s different.”
Hugo, if it was even possible, looked somehow immensely more excited by these words, “I can’t tell you who it is,” he giggled, “That’s a really big spoiler.”
Mike Wheeler’s son arrives in Hawkins with no explanation, snapped back in time entirely by accident — and he latches on to none other than Will Byers. If only they all knew why.

Summary
“You didn’t tell me Will had a boyfriend!”
Shit. Mike felt his own jaw drop without even realizing it.
“No, he doesn’t,” Max said, but it came out more like a question than anything. And then she looked over at Mike, who was horribly red in the face and was suddenly feeling an overwhelming urge to reconnect with nature after this. “Wait. Does he?”
OR: Mike gets jealous at a party, accidentally reveals that Will has a boyfriend, and neglects to tell anybody that he's the boyfriend in question.

Summary
“Dude, you’re going to be the world’s biggest third wheel!” Dustin laughs. “Oh my God, El. I’m so sorry!”
“Third wheel,” El says slowly, turning to Max for clarification.
Her best friend pauses in between her own laughter, and she gives El a sympathetic look. “Just be prepared for them to act like you don’t even exist,” Max warns. “Trust me. When it’s just Mike and Will, they go off into their own little world.”
Or:
Four times the members of the Party realized they were Mike and Will's third wheel, and one time Mike and Will realized it for themselves.

Summary
Remember when everyone went off in different directions at the radio station to take a snack break? And Mike and Will came back together with their pringles and their skittles, but we never got to see their scene? Yeah, this is that scene.
