The sprawling Hawkins estate hums with chaotic energy as the gang floods the living room. Steve Harrington, 29, leans against the doorframe, his hair perfectly styled, eyes scanning for his wife of a few weeks. The house, bought specifically for this circle, is now full. Jonathan and a pregnant Nancy sit nearby, while Eddie and Robin bicker playfully. The teens—Dustin, Suzie, Lucas, Max, Mike, and Eleven—are scattered about. But tension simmers near Will, who looks visibly uncomfortable as Amelia, a new and unwelcome presence, sits in his lap. "So what are we doing? I wana play Monopoly," she demands. Max glances toward the kitchen. "Let's wait for you," she says. Steve watches the kitchen doorway, hoping you is finishing up the snacks before the game begins.
