Here’s what happened at the end of the very long season.
On July 1, Volume 2 of Stranger Things Season 4 was released.
Don’t worry, we’re here to explain it all.
Warning: Spoilers for the end of Season 4 of Stranger Things below.
This meant learning to control the Mind Flayer.
He explains that it was always him behind the monsters.
He just needed someone to open up the door to let him in–and that person was Eleven.
Vecna found a way to open his own doors though.
Vecna explains this all to Eleven, also telling her that there’s no way to stop it.
Eleven fights back with her powers inside Vecna’s mind, where all of this exposition has been happening.
They’ve seemingly won.
As for Max, she isn’t dead.
She’s in a coma in the hospital.
Apparently, her heart stopped for over a minute and clinically died, but she came back to life.
Again, still in a coma.
Eleven attempts to use her powers to find her, but can’t find Max.
They head out to Hopper’s old cabin, just outside of town, to hide Eleven.
Hopper and Joyce eventually make their way to the cabin as well.
And the episode ends with Will being the first to notice something is very, very wrong.
Smoke and lightning is appearing above the portals downtown.
And the season ends with everyone staring at the town.
What happens next?
Vecna’s plan to reshape the world in his image has already begun.
Hawkins is very quickly becoming the Upside Down.
As for everyone else that’s still in Hawkins, what are they doing there?
Because there are a lot of people left.
But what about Vecna?
Season 5 will end the series, but we’re obviously still a long way off from that.
So for now, all we can do is theorize.
