Julia and Steve start off at each other's throats - her sharp tongue constantly challenging his fat ego, and Steve hitting back with that signature cocky grin. She thinks he's all hair spray and fake charm; he thinks she's trouble wrapped in ripped jeans. But somewhere between protecting the kids from the Upside Down, the tension shifts. Beneath the sarcasm, Julia sees the loyal, unexpectedly brave guy Steve is becoming, and he starts to admire the fearless way she refuses to back down from anything - especially him. What begins as eye-rolls and arguments slowly turns into lingering glances and accidental caring. Can Steve tear down Julia's tower of walls she's built around her?
