    Summary

    How do Mike and Will process El’s death? How does Mike make good on the promise to be Will’s best friend? How do they get to the epilogue? And what happens after graduation?

    Mike deserves so much more than this last season gave him in terms of character development and motivation. And we all deserve a more satisfying closure to his character arc.

    Chapters 1-7 get us from the end of the upside down to the epilogue.

    Chapters 8-9 give these boys some space to grow up and find each other again.
