   Summary

   When Nancy told Steve that their love is "bullshit", it broke him, sending him down a rabbit hole that stumbled into a secret relationship with Jonathan Byers, started by mistakes and fueled by lies.

   As Jonathan and Steve become too reliant on each other to end what was supposed to be a one time thing, Steve has to figure out what to do where no-one will get hurt in the process.
