This is probably the ending shot of a scene where Mike has given some sort of inspiring speech, been the heart of the party just like Will reminded him he is. Lucas is the first to put his hand down likely out of his drive and determination to save Max. Maybe Mike mentioned her or something to do with her is actively going on. Then Will was next, slightly more hesitant because he has a lot of personal trauma and fears regarding Vecna, but Mike is the person he loves and trusts the most so he pushes through. Maybe he was also hesitant to touch Mike’s hand lol, depending on how far into their romantic plot this is. And then Dustin, who we know is going to be dealing with a lot of grief over Eddie, something which could’ve led to a sense of hopelessness and apathy in him meaning he was reluctant to join, is last. But he still did it. Because that’s what Mike does, unites everyone and uplifts them and I’m literally so excited to see this moment.
At McCorkle Farms, Greg McCorkle attempts to seduce Will with his Spanish-speaking skills and fun-loving ways. Mike wards off the audacious intruder with a threatening candlestick, then Mike and Will bond before a bonfire. The Maldocorkle ship never gets to set sail.
