Steve Harrington has a mission: get Robin Buckley her happy ending with Nancy Wheeler. The problem? It's 1984, and being gay in Hawkins is a social death sentence... unless the most popular guy in school changes the rules. Steve's plan: hang out with the town freak, Jonathan Byers, to "normalize" diversity. The problem: Jonathan Byers would rather be eaten by another Demogorgon than help Steve Harrington. Steve will discover that Jonathan is much more complicated than he imagined. And Jonathan will discover that "King Steve" might not be the bad guy he thought he was... though that won't stop him from wanting to punch him in the face.
