Eleven made it out alive!

Once Will (Noah Schnapp) jumped into Vecna’s thoughts to help Eleven, each baddies — who, according to Henry (also Jamie Campbell Bower), are one and the same — obtained too many blows and have been taken down.

18 months post-Vecna, issues in Hawkins are just about again to regular.

The catastrophic occasions of the Upside Down might have been swept under the rug as an earthquake, however no less than there’s a memorial! We meet up with our crew after a time bounce on high college commencement day. Max (Sadie Sink) is skateboarding and making out with Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin).

Steve and Jonathan make good.

Steve and Jonathan let bygones be bygones, and each agree that neither is the proper man for Nancy.

Holly felt so responsible about not serving to her mom, Karen (Cara Buono), and not being courageous at other occasions, however she made up for it in this episode.

Unlike most blockbusters these days, there is no such thing as a mid- or post-credits scene.

Things are quiet in Hawkins…for now!
