Joyce Byers X Jim Hopper - Tumblr Posts
Okay. Okay. No, Hopper doesn't go back to being a cop. No. He wants to settle down a bit while also still looking after the kids. He becomes Hawkins High new basketball coach, partially to make sure those dumb jocks don't mess with the kids.

They're watching them both yell with their hands on their hips when Eddie and Joyce realize they sort of have the same taste in men.
