Once Jason witnessed Patrick die, he still believed that it was Eddie's doing, and blamed D&D for his connection to Satan, genuinely believing that Eddie had supernatural powers. The two didn't exchange words but the situation had a silent tension of hatred, primarily with Jason. Eddie and Jason engaged in a borderline fight, where Jason followed Eddie out onto the water with his teammate, Patrick McKinney. Jason then gathered his basketball team in order to hunt Eddie down, and they eventually did (in Chapter 5). Jason then became even more obsessed with Eddie once he discovered Chrissy was murdered in Eddie's trailer. Later on, Jason referred to Eddie multiple times as a freak and Satanist, due to his involvement in the Hellfire Club. Jason and Eddie, as of what is known currently, started out with a boiling hatred of Eddie's extroverted behavior where, in the lunchroom, Eddie called out multiple social groups and began to compare them before slowly flipping Jason off.

He and Chrissy talked about how they had hung out before and laughed together like good friends. However, as Chrissy was experiencing shock from her recent frightening visions, Eddie became apprehensive and was about to leave before Chrissy asked him if he had ever felt as if he was “losing his mind.” to which Eddie jokingly replied, “on a daily basis.” He then joked that he hadn’t expected Chrissy, the "queen of Hawkins High", to do a drug deal with him. On March 21, Eddie met up with Chrissy in the woods and offered to sell her some drugs. Over time, Chrissy forgot about him as she became more popular socially, but Eddie still remembered her as they started attending Hawkins High School in 1986.

Generally, Eddie is charismatic and light-hearted, but can appear intense to those who don’t know much about him. Some have theorized that Eddie’s fondness towards Chrissy factored into his hostility towards Jason, believing his taunts towards Jason and remarks about social conformity to be a dig towards the sincerity of his relationship with Chrissy - implying that being that as basketball and cheer captains, they were together as it was expected of them. Eddie is fundamentally a good-hearted person.
