Season four threw us a curveball when it heavily implied a possible reunion between Nancy and Steve. We all thought things were settled between her and Steve and Jonathan.
Jonathan had a candid conversation with his friend about how he is slowly trying to break up with her. At the time, he is really just avoiding her because he’s afraid of the future.
After rising from zero to hero throughout the show, Steve has proven that he’s more than just a dumb jock. Every time the kids embark on a dangerous journey, Steve is right there with them.
Everyone could tell Steve and Nancy weren’t right for each other in season one. They both had a lot of growing to do, and they couldn’t do that while in a relationship.
