  Summary

  Mike gets so drunk at Stacy’s party that everyone assumes he’s finally breaking down over El.
  Will realizes almost immediately that something is very, very wrong - especially when Mike starts talking about practicing sex together on the walk home.

  OR:
  Mike accidentally comes out, proposes “practice sex,” and nearly kills Will Byers in the span of one night.
