Dani had gone through a lot in the past year, from teaming up with a bunch of the kids she babysat to kill a supposed demogorgon to grieving over the death of her friend Barb to dumping her shithead boyfriend Tommy after finding out about him cheating on her with her "friend" Carol to recruiting a new best friend in Jonathan Byers after his brother went missing. Luckily, everything had seemed to work itself out before the start of the next school year though.

She'd learned that she may be small but, hell, if she could hold her own against a giant mythical space alien looking motherfucker, well then she could handle whatever else life threw at her. She learned that friends would come and go, and sometimes it wasn't a bad thing; after Barb died, Jonathan and Nancy had been there for her when no one else was, not even Steve - for which he was incredibly sorry for - and from then on she realized she didn't care what anyone else at school had to say about who she hung out with. She learned that she deserved better than Tommy, and the single best decision of her life award went to breaking up with him and embarrassing him in front of all of his other shitty friends. She learned a lot of things. But one thing she did not learn apparently, was how to steer clear of trouble. For some reason, she couldn't quite get the hang of that.
