Star held a bag of shopping the next day, bringing it to Eddie with the others so he'd have some supplies. They walked over to the shed, opening the door whilst scaring Eddie in the process.

"Delivery service." Dustin smiled.

Everyone put down their stuff, Star handing Eddie a box of cereal when he sat back in the boat, eating it from the box.

"So, we got, uh, some bad news and some good news." Dustin informed him. "How do you prefer it?"

"Bad news first, always." Eddie stated, drinking his YooHoo with his mouth full.

"Not a bad idea." Star mumbled.

"Alright, bad news. We tapped into Hawkins PD dispatch with our cerebro, and they're definitely looking for you." Dustin explained. "Also, they're pretty convinced you killed Chrissy."

"Yeah, see we usually rely on this girl who had superpowers." Steve spoke up. "But, uh, those went bye-bye so..."

"So we're technically in more of the–" Star waved her hands around, trying to find the right words, making Max smile a very small smile.

"Kinda..." Steve muttered.

"Brainstorming phase." Max finished making Star nod.

"Brainstorming." Steve clicked his fingers.
