Find all the connections from previous seasons and 'The First Shadow' play that may help you connect the dots as you watch 'Stranger Things 5' Vol. 2

In an attempt to draw Holly Wheeler (Nell Fisher) out of hiding, Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) sends demodogs to attack her friend Max Mayfield's ( Sadie Sink) unconscious body in the waking world. The villain's plan has one major hitch: Lucas is watching over her.

In case you weren’t able to watch Vol. 2 at its exact release time, here’s what really happens to Holly, Nancy, Jonathan and more in ‘Stranger Things.’

In the previous volume, the Duffer brothers left fans with a cliffhanger with Will Byers finally channelling his inner Vecna, and taking over his powers to kill the demogorgons that were just about to attack his friends.

Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers explain how they approached another big Will moment in Season 5, Vol. 2, and tease their plans for December 31st's feature-length finale.

Ever since “Stranger Things” first debuted on Netflix in 2016, it was evident that Noah Schnapp‘s Will Byers was different from his friends. His own father derisively called him queer, as his mother Joyce (Winona Ryder) recounts early in Season 1.

Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 is now streaming on Netflix. The much-awaited finale season of the hit show brings back the Hawkins group and their strongest enemy, Vecna. Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 was released worldwide on 25 December.

Stranger Things season 5 part 2 aired on Christmas, and these last three episodes were rather weak, including the sidelining of Eleven.

After revealing that Vecna’s plan is to have Earth collide with the dimension known as The Abyss, the heroes of our story devised a plan to cut ties between the two by disabling the bridge between them, otherwise known as the Upside Down.
