Summary
The next hour is kind of awful.
Hayden's brain keeps turning up worst case scenarios (he's sick, he's still too injured to play, he's been traded to LA, he's requested a move to Boston because he got Lily pregnant out of wedlock). Shane is wearing his media-smile. Jackie is doing all the heavy lifting, conversation wise, and clearly peeved at Hayden for not being chill about whatever talk Shane wants to have after this.
OR: Shane is dating Ilya Rozanov, which is better and worse than what Hayden was expecting.

Lily: trying to get a ride
Lily: all the cabs are on cut
Jane: What?
Lily: no. wrong word. strike
Jane: I'll come get you.

Summary
There are no physical crowns in the high school of Hawkins, Indiana.
But just because there is no formal vote, no crowning ceremony on the dance floor, no official pictures that make their way into the year book and maybe even the town paper on a slow enough news week, doesn’t mean that Hawkins has no royalty. By his senior year, Eddie is very familiar with this fact.

Summary
Before the two of them can slip away, Isaac claps Colin on the shoulder in a goodbye, then does the same to Michael. “It was great meeting you bruv. Colin should bring you around more often.”
“Even though I don’t know anything about football?”
“That can be fixed,” Isaac says easily. His arm is still on Michael’s, so instead of letting go, he drops his grip to hold Michael’s hand and digs a Sharpie out of his pocket. “Here’s my number, gimme a ring and I’ll explain the offside rule again. Can’t believe Colin hasn’t converted you already.”
[OR: When he is introduced to Michael during the team party at Ola’s, Isaac develops a crush on his best mate’s supposed wingman. Not that he’s aware of that.]

Concussion Protocol by smilebackwards

Summary
Scott must be confused as hell if he was asking for Kip. Especially in front of his teammates. Kip should say no, that he was a friend from outside New York. He lived in Vancouver or Hawaii or England. Scott was quite literally concussed, he didn’t actually want his ex-boyfriend showing up. It had been made abundantly clear that Kip and Scott’s friend groups would not be meeting each other.
“I—yeah. What hospital is he at?” Kip said.

Summary
“Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—
“It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”
And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.
So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.
Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.
Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

Summary
They’d considered it—Shane being gay. It’d been an option. But Ilya Rozanov and the way Shane looks at him like he’s the love of his life has blindsided them. Blindsided both of them, and there’s almost nothing Yuna likes less than being blindsided.
She’s not mad, David wants to say. We’re so proud of you. We’re so happy for you. We just didn’t know.
Somehow we missed it, you falling in love.
or, what David Hollander and Ilya Rozanov talk about while Shane and Yuna are outside in episode six.
