Scoops Ahoy!

Steve worked at an ice cream shop in the mall and became friends with coworker, Robin. With Dustin back from science camp and Erica Sinclair extorting as much free ice cream as possible, the four of them found the secret of the Starcourt mall.

Nancy and Jonathan interned for The Hawkins Post but had completely different experiences. Struggling to be taken seriously, Nancy launched her own investigation into the weird behaviors of the town’s rats. Unfortunately, her boss, Tom, and his family were of the first to be converted into the Flayed.

Young Love

As the gang grew older, they had paired off and broken up as easy as the snap of a finger. Eleven and Mike dealt with an interfering Jim Hopper. Will, who just wanted to play D&D, struggled with the reality of growing up and not liking girls the way his friends did.
