"NANCY!" STEVE YELLS, "NANCY!"

Everyone was moving frantically about Eddie's trailer as they were trying to find a way to save Danielle and Nancy. Both girls were still in a trance and if things were going to go the same way that they did when Vecna attacked Max, then they didn't have much time left.

"What the hell is this shit!" Angela yells as she looks through the cassette tapes on Eddie's bed.

"It's music!" Eddie yells.

"This is not music! This is garbage!" Angela yells in his face, "I need a classic! Danielle likes stupid beach music! Or like weird shit from the sixties! Why don't you have anything from the sixties!"

"Guys if you have a plan, I need you to do it now!" Steve yells out.

Erica glances worriedly over at Danielle as she runs to the back of the trailer where she finds her sister and Dustin aggressively tearing apart Eddie's room.

"We need to hurry!" Erica yells, "I don't think Nancy has much time!"

"We're looking!" Dustin yells, "I mean seriously dude? No Madonna? Bon Jovi? Something that doesn't sound like it's going to take out an entire powerline!"

In the Upside Down in Steve's arms, Nancy awakens with a gasp and Steve's eyes go wide as he holds her up in his arms.

"Nance?" Steve says, "Hey, hey, it's okay. I've got you."

Steve holds the shaking Nancy in his arms and she looks around at her surroundings, eyes widening in fear as she clutches Steve. He looks around and gets the hint that the last place that Nancy wants to be is Vecna's dominion.

He helps her through the gate, and they fall onto the mattress where they get a clear sight of Robin who was standing in front of Danielle, and an anxiously pacing Max who wasn't too far away.

"He got Danielle?" Nancy asks, her first word since coming out of the trance, "She has the song."

"The cassette got fucked up," Robin answers, her voice cracking, "Eddie's been looking for anything normal – not that it would work. Danielle has-"

"Weird taste in music," Nancy says, "The classics. Carolina beach music."

"Yeah," Robin says softly.

Lucas's eyes light up as thoughtfully and he runs out of Eddie's room and out of the trailer. He books it across the street to Danielle and Max's trailer and yanks the door open. Kate Bush Mayfield lifts her head from the bed on the floor and watches as Lucas runs past Max's room and to Danielle's room.
