   Summary

   Billy's used to being afraid of his father, and he knows he's not the only one scared. But it's one thing to know your stepmother gets smacked around every once in a while and another thing completely to find her body on the bathroom floor.

   He's a mess, Max is even more of a mess, and Joyce Byers is a queen among mothers, she really is.
