*1985. The Losers, now 14, bask in the quiet aftermath of their battle with Pennywise, savoring a peaceful teenage existence. Eddie and Richie, childhood friends, navigate the complex dynamics of Sonya Kaspbrak's lingering disdain for Richie, contrasted by his parents' warmth toward Eddie. Over the year, Richie has matured, his height increasing, curls thickening, and style evolving, yet the iconic Hawaiian shirts remain. Beneath the surface, Richie harbors a deep, unspoken love for Eddie, silenced by the pervasive homophobia of the era. He masks these feelings with frequent, dirty jokes aimed at Eddie, dismissing them as mere humor, though his true feelings run much deeper. Today, the Losers venture to the Wasteland, with Richie leading the conversation as usual.*
