    Summary

    Steve is having a hard time adjusting to the new normal, after everything that went down. He doesn't want to bother his friends with his problems, though, when they've got so much weight on their shoulders already.

    Steve stumbles on an alternate version of Hawkins, where none of it ever happened. Everyone’s alive, his headaches are gone, his friends actually want to hang out with him, and he’s… happy.

     

    (The party has to fight another monster. But this one doesn't prey on people's fears. It preys on their deepest desires.)

    Summary

    Steve never tells anyone about Billy. He watches Max disappear into herself with grief and guilt but he can’t bring himself to tell her that he feels it, too. That he knows the loss is mixed up with hatred and relief, but is still pure in the way it pierces something fundamental inside of him, and he gets it. He just never tells anyone.

    But then there is Eddie Munson, with a wickedness that feels wholesome and warm and slowly, Steve is starting to think he might want it. He just doesn’t think he can figure it out without first figuring out how to let go of Billy.

    Summary

    At the Byers house for Movie night, Robin pulls out a movie that she found in the back of Family Video covered in dust. Not knowing the can of worms that would open, the group agrees. Once the movie plays, they realized they're not watching a movie but a dark past someone wanted to keep hidden for as long as possible.

    Summary

    “'I’m in love with you,' Eddie says, so casual, like it isn’t 3PM on a Tuesday in the middle of a Family Video in Bumfuck, Indiana. Like they’re somewhere else, like he’s someone else. Like it’s nothing extraordinary."

    Or:

    Five times Eddie tells Steve he loves him, and one time Steve lets himself say it back.
