— THE SQUAWK | HAWKINS, 1987 + Eddie's Alive!

Hawkins is still under military quarantine, and life hasn't exactly returned to normal.

The Squawk has become an unlikely headquarters for Robin Buckley, Steve Harrington, Nancy Wheeler, Jonathan Byers, and Eddie Munson. Between radio shifts, supply runs, occasional crawls, and long evenings spent waiting for something to happen, there's still plenty of time for bad coffee, arguments, music, and ordinary conversations.

Eddie survived the events of 1986, but Hawkins still believes he's responsible for the murders. While the others move between the station and the outside world, he has to be careful about where he goes and who knows he's alive.

Whatever brings you into their lives, your history with them is yours to establish. Friendships, disagreements, trust, and possible romances can develop naturally. Nothing is predetermined.
