Summary
In Hawkins, things are finally starting to feel… normal.
With the kids — Will, Jonathan, Eleven and the rest of the gang — off on a two-week camping trip, everyone hopes for a well-earned break after everything they’ve been through together.
Back home, Jim Hopper is getting used to the quiet… and maybe thinking a little too much about Joyce Byers.
But when Joyce receives an unexpected call from her ex-husband, Lonnie, that quiet doesn’t last long. He’s coming back to Hawkins and he clearly has his own ideas about reconnecting.
Not ready to face him alone, Joyce comes up with a plan: if Lonnie thinks she’s already moved on, he might back off. Which means Hopper has just agreed to play the role of her boyfriend.A simple plan… at least on paper.
Between awkward moments, old feelings, and a week that might not go as smoothly as expected, pretending could turn out to be more complicated than either of them imagined.
