Summary
Ted Wheeler’s funeral was supposed to be the end of a chapter, but for Mike, it was only the beginning of a painful realization. With Will back in Hawkins, and caught between a dry grief and Carlton’s suffocating presence, Mike decides he’s done running.
"Every time you try to run away the same way I once did, I’m going to remind you that you’re lying to yourself. I might not be in my right mind, Will, but this—everything between us—it’s not just an illusion I created."
"Michael..." Will tried to protest, the name coming out as a broken whisper, but Mike shook his head silently.
"Less than a week. I’m going to reignite you in a way that bastard never could."
