Summary
Steve can never say no when any of the kids ask him a favor. It’ll probably be a problem someday.
But right now it means that he’s been roped into dog sitting for Eddie Munson while the kids’ band, The Party, opens for Corroded Coffin on tour. Steve thinks it’ll just be a quick job for a few weeks to help delay him from figuring out what to do with his life, but once he strikes up an unlikely friendship with Eddie, his life changes in ways he didn’t expect.

Summary
Everything's felt a little off since the Fourth of July, and no one's talking about it. Of course, one part of Steve's summer is a bit hard to ignore - he's losing his hearing. As luck would have it, a friend of Dustin's ends up playing a key role in Steve's adjustment to his new normal.
(Title taken from the song "Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel)

Summary
The mall is destroyed. El’s lost her powers. Billy’s dead. So is Hopper. Steve is probably fucked up mentally for life, but what else is new? Steve has a pretty good thing going. He has kids to take care of, an awkward lesbian to advise. Max needs a big brother. Hawkins is his home, and Steve can’t just leave. Not while he’s still needed. He knows one day he won’t be. But for now, it’s enough.
Or: the Harringtons sell their house before the real estate market goes belly-up. Hawkins has been going downhill for years, anyway. His parents give Steve a choice: move with them and finally take that job at his dad’s company or get left behind. For Steve, it wasn’t much of a choice at all. He may not have a house anymore, but his BMW’s backseat has served as a bed plenty of times already. No one has to know. The party has enough problems to worry about.
Or: Eddie Munson worms his way into Steve’s sorry little life months before Vecna rears his ugly head.
Or: Steve Harrington, a character study.

Summary
Steve was still adjusting. Definitely not quite back to normal – probably wouldn’t ever be normal again, if he were honest with himself – but he was on his way to something normal adjacent, and that had to count for something.
OR:
As Steve navigates the complicated twists and turns and backslides of recovery, he slowly learns what it's like to have people he can rely on. It's a novel concept.

Summary
Billy Hargrove doesn't keep his promise to Max. He doesn't keep it in a pretty spectacular fashion, actually. Instead of staying away from her friends, he murders one of them.
Unfortunately for Billy, Hellfire meets right after basketball practice. And fortunately for Steve, Eddie knows CPR.
(Or: There is a clearly defined set of steps to keep someone's heart beating. There's no guide for the aftermath. Steve, Eddie, and everyone they love write one together.)
