Of the main characters, Steve was arguably the one who could lift out the most cleanly as of the end of Season 2.
Steve’s apparent safety in Season 3 could mean that we need to start worrying even more about the rest of the main characters.
Steve was months away from graduating high school in Season 2, has no family connection to any of the others, and is beloved enough that his death would pack quite a punch.
I know I’m relieved that he’s almost certainly safe in the next batch of episodes.
