Ending of Stranger Things Season 4 Summray, Frequently Answers Questions (FAQs)

While this is all happening, there are some pretty huge moments going on in the background. Hopper and Joyce finally admit their feelings While all of this is going on, some really significant events are taking place. As they have their first kiss, Hopper and Joyce finally declare their affections for one another. Steve expresses to Nancy his feelings for her and his aspirations for their future together. Will cries as he talks about “feeling different” from other people and encourages Mike to have faith in himself and his love for Eleven. Later, he has a talk with his brother Jonathan, who reassures him that he will always love him. As they share a sweet idea to go to the movies together when this is all done, Max and Lucas are also able to finally talk out their emotions.

The gang in Hawkins has a strategy. While Nancy, Steve, and Robin travel to Henry’s home in the Upside Down to attack his body, Max will be used as bait to divert Vecna. As everyone assumes their role in the plot in a distinct dimension, everything becomes quite Inception-like at this point. Eleven assists Max in battling Vecna in one of her memories, so at first it appears to be working. In an effort to buy the others more time, Dustin and Eddie divert the Demobats in the trailer park in the Upside Down while this is going on.

However, things start to go wrong pretty soon. Eddie chooses to play the hero and diverts the Demobats from entering by drawing them to him, but he is too hurt. When Dustin finally dies him, it’s too late; the man passes away in his arms. After luring a Demogorgon into the battle arena in Russia, Hopper is in imminent danger. Murray pelts them with fire. As Lucas attempts to revive Max from her coma, jock Jason has arrived at the location where Erica, Max, and Lucas are.

Vecna is ready to execute his ultimate kill when Max begins to be raised into the air. Eleven is confined and watching, and it is only Mike’s words—telling her he loves her—that enable her to regain her abilities and fight back against Vecna. The tide shifts when Steve and Robin throw Molotov cocktails at Vecna in the Upside Down and Eleven injures him in this strange alternate realm. He is shot by Nancy via a window. Eleven then enters Max’s head and makes a valiant effort to revive her. She seemed to be on the verge of permanent loss. Vecna also looks to be dead, yet his plan is being carried out. Max officially dies away, but his plot to carry out four murders is successful when Hawkins is destroyed by Upside Down gates. Eleven attempts to resurrect Max by placing her palm on her heart.

The effects of Vecna opening the gates are still being felt two days later across the whole town. Hawkins is being evacuated, and a “seismic” relief centre has been established at the neighbourhood high school. Eddie’s uncle enters as Steve, Robin, and Dustin begin to assist. Dustin describes what happened and how Eddie died like a hero in a sorrowful scene. To check on Max, the others go to the hospital. Since the physicians are unsure if she would ever wake up, we learn that she is still unconscious.

In an effort to make Hopper’s old cottage in the woods habitable for Eleven, they travel there. When Hopper arrives and they are reunited, Eleven is overcome with emotion at learning that Hopper is still alive. But all of this is simply the beginning of the end, as Vecna had foretold. Hawkins is approaching death. Our heroes watch as the town is covered with Upside Down particles and the colour drains from the landscape. Vecna is around, as Will indicates, and he won’t stop “until he’s taken everyone,” as Will puts it.

What is going on with Hawkins? The snow, what is it?

Holly Wheeler looks out the window in the closing seconds and announces that it is snowing. Actually, the particles coming from the Upside Down are what are indicating that the dimension is starting to leak into Hawkins. All of this is a part of Vecna’s strategy because he wants to see his world and ours converge. He informs Eleven that Hawkins “shall burn and collapse, like the rest of this dumb, damaged world.” “When it does, I’ll be there to pick up the pieces and rebuild it into something lovely.”

Nancy has already seen the outcome since Vecna gave her a glimpse of his strategy. The first sign of this was the gang looking around and seeing the world draining of colour, plants dying all around them, and Hawkins burning in the distance. She told the others at the time, “I saw a dark cloud spreading over Hawkins, downtown on fire, dead soldiers, and this giant creature with a gaping mouth. There were so many monsters, an army, and they were coming into Hawkins.”

Is Max still alive or not?

For Max, who is still battling to recuperate from Vecna’s assault on her, things still appear to be quite precarious. She is in a hospital in a coma, her arms and legs are in a cast, and it’s probable she won’t wake up. Her heart stopped before returning, but Lucas is unsure if she will awaken. He tells his pals that. Not revealing to the crew that she was the one who assisted in her revival, Eleven remains silent.

We finally get to witness Eleven’s healing abilities in action. She seems to have succeeded in bringing Max back from the grave. As she fought him in the other realm, did she somehow inherit them from Vecna? Are they new abilities that she has acquired? Or was it just a development of her abilities? Unfortunately, it’s still unclear if Max is indeed dead or alive. Eleven searches her mind but discovers nothing. Eleven yells her name, but nobody answers. The only thing is the blackness. We’re not sure what this implies, but for Max to survive, we’re going to need another miracle.

Sadie Sink, who plays her character, Max, revealed some information to Deadline(opens in new tab). She was asked if the Duffer Brothers had warned her that Max will pass away in season 5. She said, “In general, they’ve been pretty discreet about season five. “We did have a conversation. They called me before I read the ninth episode because the script literally says that Max dies. So they called me beforehand and were like, “just warning you, this is in there, so you’re not like truly shocked.” “I have no idea what’s coming in five and what that looks like,” Max said. “Max’s storyline is very up in the air, ’cause obviously she’s in a coma and Eleven can’t find her in the

Does Eddie in Stranger Things Season 4 actually pass away?

Eddie, however, was the main casualty of the climax since his injuries from the Demobats proved to be too severe for him to live. His fate is confirmed in a news report, the reporter suggesting he is missing and presumed dead – his body hasn’t been found but that’s because he dies in the Upside Down, rather than in Hawkins. As he dies away in Dustin’s arms, Eddie tells him: “I didn’t run away this time, right? You’re going to have to look after those little sheep for me right.” You may read our obituary for Eddie Munson by clicking the link. Eddie was one of the finest Stranger Things characters to appear on television in a very long time.

The actor who plays Eddie on the show, Joseph Quinn, has spoken out a little about his character’s fate and whether or not he might return. “I don’t know, I was thinking,” he said of returning, “but Joe Keery and I were talking about ways in which I could [come back]. Maybe I’d be a figment of Gaten’s imagination or something like that if there could be some room for something a little bit supernatural.” However, the actor did add:

How much of what happened with Vecna are Hopper and Joyce aware of?

All Hopper and Joyce knew when they were in Russia was that their children were in danger, but they had no idea from what. But it appears that they have been informed of what happened when they make up with Eleven. They could have heard about what happened through Owens’ coworker who dropped them off, or they might not be fully aware of everything just yet. We could get more explanation of this in the upcoming season, although it’s unclear whether this will take place behind closed doors.

Who else perished during the Hawkins battle?

A news report verifies that, in addition to Eddie, 22 other individuals have passed away and that a great number more are either missing or in hospitals. Jason, whose corpse was severed in two when the gates to the Upside Down opened, is one of the dead that we are aware of. It’s not yet apparent, though, if any other people we know are among the victims.

Vecna, did you make it through the Hawkins battle? Now, where is Vecna?

When Nancy, Steve, and Robin head downstairs to where Vecna’s body should be, they discover that he is not there. This is our first indication that Vecna may have survived the battle. Will then claims that he can sense his presence in Hawkins and that the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

We don’t know where Vecna is hiding, but you can almost certainly count on him to return – and probably stronger than ever. He tells Mike that their battle is far from over: “Now that I’m here in Hawkins, I can feel him and he’s hurting but he’s still alive. It’s strange knowing now who it was this whole time.” For additional information, see Volume 2 of our in-depth analysis of Stranger Things’ season 4 deaths.

When Stranger Things first began, where was Vecna?

It is revealed in the finale that Vecna was effectively the captain of the Mind Flayer and that the Mind Flayer was a weapon of devastation when she informs Max that she is braver than her brother Billy was. This is confirmed by Vecna, who explains to Eleven what happened after he was thrown into the Upside Down.

When he came upon the beast, which resembled the pet spiders he had known as a boy, he was disoriented and wondering the dimension.
Vecna seizes possession of the being and uses its might to carry out his retaliatory scheme. Although the series’ main adversary wasn’t introduced until Stranger Things Season 4, he has been in charge throughout. He has been becoming stronger, as Brenner/Papa claims.

Murray, is he still alive?

Murray, Enzo, and Uri were being flown back to the US when they were last seen by us. It appears quite clear that they also made it to the United States even though we don’t see them in the final episode. We are unsure of the consequences for the Russians and whether we will see them again in season 5. They could receive immunity in exchange for their assistance in rescuing Joyce and Hopper.

What is Will concealing?

Will is holding something a secret, but he isn’t quite ready to reveal what it is. He tells Mike in episode 8 that he feels different from other people. Later, in the Surfer Boy Pizza kitchen, Jonathan chats to him about this assuring him that he’ll love him no matter what, saying: “When you’re different, sometimes you feel like a mistake.” It’s a lovely moment between the brothers, even if Will is obviously not quite ready to reveal whatever it is he’s keeping from them.

What happened between Dr. Owens and Sullivan?

When Sullivan gave the order to assassinate Eleven, we last saw these two in Nevada. She managed to escape with the Surfer Boy Pizza gang after taking out the chopper. After a large explosion, Sullivan exits Brenner’s laboratories to find the pizza truck leaving. Unable to follow it because his mode of transportation was just destroyed, he watches as it speeds away. He will undoubtedly return in season 5.
It’s unclear whether Dr. Owens survived the attack in the lab or even whether he was able to get free of his restraints, which makes the situation a bit more complicated. Though he is likely one of the least important characters in this plot, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Is there a post-credits scene for Stranger Things season 4?

The post-credits scene for Stranger Things: Season 4, Volume 2 is absent. Midway through the season, there was a type of post-credits sequence, however there is no tag at the conclusion. Instead, there is no indication of what will occur next, leaving us to imagine Eleven and the gang watching a burning Hawkins.

Will Jonathan and Nancy remain partners? What will Steve do next?

Even though the Nancy, Jonathan, and Steve love triangle has existed since the first season, the events in season 4 have complicated matters. As Steve and Nancy got to know one another better, he admitted he still had feelings for her. They were cut off before Nancy could respond, so we don’t yet know if she returns these. Jonathan has also been having trouble deciding whether or not he wants to continue with Nancy. He admitted to Argyle that he hasn’t applied to the same college as her because of this. They had reconciled by the conclusion of the season, but many things are unspoken. When Jonathan comes to Hawkins, you just need to see Steve’s pained expression as they embrace to realise that there is much more to their tale to be told.

Will there be a Stranger Things season 5 of ?

Season 5 of Stranger Things has already been announced by Netflix, as we have previously revealed. However, because this drama is coming to a close, this will be the show’s final season. Through that link, you can learn all we know about Stranger Things season 5.
