The latest season of Stranger Things continues the show’s pattern of dividing the characters into smaller groups, but this time, they’re more united. The fifth and final season picks up 18 months after a catastrophic event devastated Hawkins. It’s now fall 1987, and the town is under strict military quarantine, making it nearly impossible to leave. The group has been secretly exploring the Upside Down to locate Vecna, unaware that he’s been hiding in plain sight, disguised as a friendly figure named Mr. Whatsit to Holly Wheeler. In the fourth episode of Season 5, titled “Sorcerer,” the search for Holly intensifies alongside a mission to rescue Vecna’s other victims.
