   Summary

   “Will, do you remember what day is today?”
   “September 20th, 1987.”
   “No, I don’t mean like today today. What day are we stuck in?”
   Mike sees the realization land in Will’s eyes.
   “Oh. Of course. It hasn’t happened yet, in here.”

   OR

   It takes almost losing Will for Mike to realize his true feelings. Will it be too late?
