"That night, I told you not to be heroes. I told both of you. And you know what Eddie did? He got himself killed."

robin showing up as a guest star on the squawk. it's perfect. she looks so good now, and—

well, we don't get to see her and vickie share a loving moment or anything but it should be fine. right? you get a line about overbearing significant others, so that should be enough to clue in that vickie is as clingy as ever, right? anyways.

steve being a baseball coach and a sex ed teacher. it's a roundabout way of fulfilling his silly six little nuggets dream. and he's been an athlete all his life. sex ed on the side is perfect actually. i'm happy for him.

jonathan at nyu. jonathan byers, at nyu!!! his dream school since he was six!!! and he's directing a movie about anti-capitalism by portraying it through the metaphor of cannibalism. it kind of ties back into him and nancy exposing hawkins lab all those years ago. it's perfect. genius, even. i'm so proud of him.

nancy dropping out was an absolute shocker, but her becoming a trainee at the herald?!?! it's always been very nancy wheeler coded of her to just do something that completely blindsides everyone else. she's always been a real star in everything she does. i hope she does well at her new job.
