Stranger Things 5 Part 1 Quietly Sets Up The Finale
If Will Byers is more than a survivor, Stranger Things 5 just told us why. Let’s unpack how Part 1 quietly turns him into the key to defeating Vecna.
Will Byers & Vecna: What Stranger Things 5 Reveals is all about the final season’s biggest swing – turning Will into something that looks a lot like Vecna’s version of a Horcrux. Will Byers & Vecna: What Stranger Things 5 Reveals walks through every clue Part 1 gives us about their connection, from shared visions to the hive mind and beyond.
We start by revisiting Will’s original abduction and that chilling moment he’s brought before Vecna in the Upside Down. From there, we track how Season 5 Part 1 uses Will’s “receiver” ability, his visions of Holly and Derrick, and the victims trapped inside Henry’s memories to hint that Vecna’s soul might be split across multiple minds. Could Will and the other kids be the real key to ending the Upside Down for good?
We also break down Hawkins’ new status quo under government control, the controversial return of Eleven’s “sister” Eight, and why Vecna refuses to enter the cave that looks ripped straight out of the Upside Down. With Stranger Things Season 5 Part 2 on the way, we’re connecting the dots on how this all might end without spoiling the ride.
