Summary
Robin, truly could not believe she was about to put her immortal soul into the hands of Steve ‘the hair’ Harington. In the bathroom of a godforsaken seafood restaurant surrounded by smiling tiled lobsters. Only, she kind of could–how could this experience get any crazier?
Robin groans, scrubbed her face, starting over. “Listen, I need to swear you to secrecy okay, I know you have no reason to keep my secret, but I am–I am begging you man. If I tell you, you can't tell anyone.”
He looks at her. “Okay I am really curious, so yeah, I pinky swear to not tell anyone your deep dark secrets or whatever.”
She takes a breath. Here goes nothing.
“Okay, so this is crazy, but there's been a huge mistake. I am Robin Buckley–”“From Hawkins, Indiana,” Steve supplies.
“–Yeah,” she agrees. “But I’m not Robin Buckley, wildlife photographer, whatever, whatever. Dude, I think I got switched… I'm not supposed to be here.”

“You want to help?” Nancy says, unwilling to become a spectre. “Go home.”
----------
In the aftermath of El's sacrifice, Holly can't sleep without Nancy, and Nancy can't sleep at all. Robin keeps coming over, keeps being there. It doesn't help. Until it does.

Summary
Nancy Wheeler survived the apocalypse, got into her dream school, and moved to Boston to start her perfectly planned future. So why does she feel like she's wearing someone else's skin?
It starts small. With a new hairstyle. Then new clothes. And a trip or two to a local gay bar. But every comparison leads back to the same conclusion, the same variable she's been ignoring for months now:
It's always Robin.
