Hopper accidentally becomes the biggest ally in Hawkins out of hatred for Mike Wheeler. El wants to date Max? Perfect, Mike is terrified of Max. El wants to date Max and Lucas? Even better, more people to keep Mike away. Will comes out to Joyce and Hop? Hopper is immediately studying up on gay culture and flagging so he can find him a Hop ApprovedTM boyfriend. He sees that nice boy Gareth cuff his jeans one time and starts inviting him to family dinner. Mike seems annoyed that Steve is spending more time with Munson? A pamphlet titled “Accepting your Bisexuality” finds its way into Steve’s jacket pocket. Hopper has never seen Mike as furious as the day Steve and Munson arrive at dinner holding hands. It’s a good day. Hopper isn’t sure how Nancy dating the Buckley girl will annoy Mike, but he’s willing to give it a shot.

They're having family dinner at Steve's house when Steve asked Eddie to pass him something. Everyone at the table knew they were together.
Eddie: Here you go, Stevie.
Steve: Thanks, Teddy.
Hopper: Teddy?
Steve: Yeah, because he's my Teddy bear.
Hopper: *snorts with laughter* Your Teddy bear?
Steve: *glares at him and then smiles at Joyce* You know what would be a cute nickname for Hopper? He's like your bunny, your sweet, grumpy bunny.
Joyce: *cooing at Hopper* Are you my grumpy bunny, Hop?
Hopper: What did you do?
Steve: Not so funny now, is it?
It was from that day forward that Hopper never mocked Steve’s relationship ever again. He learned his lesson.
