    Summary

    “How do you explain how scary something is when you can’t say anything about it?”

    Steve goes to Eddie after StarCourt Mall burns down and brings to light the one thing that he lies to Eddie about. It’s not a secret he keeps willingly – but it threatens to come between them all the same.

    This is how Steve tries to protect Eddie from the Upside Down.

    Summary

    Steve’s visions might be disjointed, confusing, and generally a pain in the ass, but they did help him save Barb Holland. So when he has a new vision -- one that shows Bob Newby's death -- he knows he can’t ignore it.

    Unfortunately, whatever’s creeping back into Hawkins isn’t waiting around for Steve to figure things out. The Upside Down is spreading, something is very wrong with both Will and Barb, and the demogorgons are definitely not done with them yet.

    Now, Steve and his growing group of friends have to try to stop it before things get even worse. Which would be easier if Steve wasn’t also freaking out about the fact that he probably likes boys, and he definitely likes Eddie Munson.

    Barb, meanwhile, is having plenty issues of her own, like terrifying hallucinations of the Upside Down, and even worse – an unrequited crush on her best friend.

    Summary

    “I’m not sitting in the front?” Eddie asks, a brow raised, twitching as Steve holds the trunk open, gesturing for him to climb inside.

    “And have you try anything funny when I’m driving? Fat chance. Suspicious people that crawl back from their own grave don’t get front seat privileges, Munson.”

    Eddie is going to die at the hands of Steve 'The Hair' Harrington. He'll take him somewhere in the dark, drag him out to the woods and brain him with that bat that he's clinging so tightly to. Maybe he'll be able to do the job that Eddie is too much of a coward to do himself; maybe it's easier that way—kinder.

    Or

    Eddie's back from the Upside Down after nearly two and a half years, hungry for something that isn't Mickey D's, and Steve's the only one with a house empty enough to hide him away.
