Summary
Eddie Munson was known to be an open person.
He’s seen a lot and probably was exactly what people would describe as such. Not only did this put him at the bottom of the High School’s social hierarchy but it made him friends with others sharing his place. He knew some weird folks and befriended them. He also wasn’t shocked about most things he witnessed.
So yes, one could say it was unusual for him to be caught off guard seeing Steve Harrington, former king of Hawkins High awkwardly standing next to the band members of 'Tiger Lilies' also known as the school’s very own pop band.
---
In which Steve makes a deal with Robin and joins Tammy Thompson's pop band to win the Hawkins High talent show.

Summary
Daniel sees life like a river. Thinks he is caught up in a current that only goes one way, that will eventually sweep him out to sea. It’s easier for him to think so. It keeps him alive to think so.
He doesn’t know that he could stand up and reach the bottom. He doesn’t know he has a choice.
Drugs don’t work, sex doesn’t work, New York hasn’t worked. Somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, an improbable number of suicides have taken place. Somewhere in a bar in New York, Daniel hears about them. He wants to fill a void. The difference between what is real and what isn’t matters as little to him as the things he’ll find to throw into the darkness. Which, as it turns out, is quite a lot.

Summary
Daniel is sprawled out across the bed, loose-limbed and lazy, somehow filling all the open space it has to offer and leaving Armand to nestle into the gaps. His cheeks are flushed, blood pooling like it knows what comes next. Maybe it does. Armand was reading about classical conditioning the other day. About dogs who become accustomed to getting food when their handler rings a bell.
Perhaps Daniel is the dog, Armand’s teeth sharp bells reverberating in his veins. Or perhaps Armand is the dog, Daniel’s blood a song rattling in his ears. He has been a dog before. He runs his tongue along the bow of Daniel’s collarbone, gathers the salt-sweat there and imagines what it tastes like because Daniel does.
Armand remembers he loved Daniel, once, and that Daniel loved him. Or a version of them did, at least. It isn't his intention to go back to that, but it's not not his intention, either. Such is the prerogative of an immortal: to hold two contradicting desires simultaneously. If nothing else, it passes the time while he waits for this miserable interview to end.

Summary
Richard reminisces how him and Francis became close after Henry's passing. He values their friendship, but it seems that Francis has a different outlook to their relationship.
---
Had I not known Francis was a hypohondriac, I would have been seriously concerned, but hearing his voice, and being tempted with seeing my friend again, were what influenced me to agree to meet Francis. Of course he did not suffer from diabetes, as all five doctors we visited explained, but commuting from clinics to hospitals had brought us closer than we had ever been. Perhaps the irregular visits and Francis needing a permanent place to stay was what brought us together and what helped us to set our sights on a two-bedroomed middle class house in the neighbourhood Henry had once lived in.
