We’re more than a little obsessed with Stranger Things, and while we’re sad we’ve reached the final season we are sooo excited to see how the show will come to an end.

Season 5 part 1 dropped last week and if you’re anything like us, we watched it in one go. Now, we can’t wait to see what is going to happen in the second instalment dropping on 25th December (the Xmas present we didn’t know we wanted).

Stranger Things season 5 part 2 clues you might have missed

As we patiently wait for new episodes, we’re sleuthing to find out what might happen next. Here’s what we found…

Vecna’s relationship with the Mindflayer may be more complicated than we think

In season 5, Max (who is physically in a coma) is trapped in Henry’s memories. However, she’s able to find refuge in a cave in a desert of which Henry is “terrified”. Hmmmmm!

Given that Henry is actually pretty terrifying himself, it’s surprising he would be afraid of a cave…right?

Fans of the show who have seen the theatre production The First Shadow appear to have some answers to this conundrum.

In the play, Henry enters a cave in Nevada on his eighth birthday and leaves without any memory of the event.

The cave contains technology that is supposed to help replicate the Philadelphia Experiment, a WWII experiment that sent a battleship to another dimension.

Henry entered into contact with the Mindflayer for the first time at the cave, after which his personality and blood type changed.

If he’s so afraid of the cave where he first met the Mindflayer, what does it suggest about their relationship…?

A major character might be killed off

In season 5 part 1, no-one died: suspicious.

Now, fans are sleuthing that a major character might perish.

There are a number of theories in place but fans have been worried about Lucas ever since the season five trailer dropped and it looked like he was in trouble.

You can read our full guide to the predictions and fan theories here.

We’ve been told not to expect a massacre in the finale

One thing about the death theories? We’ve been explicitly told not to expect a massacre, like what was seen at the end of Game of Thrones.

“I’ve said this before: The show is not Game of Thrones,” Matt Duffer, the co-creator of the show, has said.

“I’m hoping it surprises people. But there’s no Red Wedding, if that’s what you’re asking,” he said, referring to the end of Game of Thrones. “That would be depressing.”
