Note: This story contains major spoilers from \u201cStranger Things\u201d Season 5, Episode 4.<\/p>\n

The first four episodes of \u201cStranger Things\u201d Season 5 premiered<\/a> Wednesday night on Netflix, and they brought with them enough twists to provoke a flood of shocked fan reactions on social media.<\/p>\n

While each of the season\u2019s first four installments contain their fair share of shocking moments, it is the two game-changing reveals packed into the final 10 minutes of \u201cStranger Things\u201d Season 5, Episode 4, aptly titled \u201cSorcerer,\u201d that completely reset the landscape of the Netflix series. The first is Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Hopper\u2019s (David Harbour) discovery that the military base in the Upside Down is not holding Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) captive, but Kali Prasad (Linnea Berthelsen), a.k.a. Eight.<\/p>\n

The latter character makes her long-awaited return in the \u201cStranger Things\u201d Season 5, Volume 1<\/a> finale, where she is reunited with Eleven for the first time since their adventures together in the divisive Season 2 episode, \u201cThe Lost Sister.\u201d Eight\u2019s return prompted reactions from fans online, with one X user posting screenshots of Kali and Eleven\u2019s reunion and joking<\/a>, \u201cYeah Vecna is [boned].\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nothing in the \u201cStranger Things\u201d Season 5, Volume 1 finale has left fans reeling quite as much, though, as the climactic reveal that none other than Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) is the episode\u2019s eponymous sorcerer. As Will watches Vecna\u2019s Demogorgons prepare to kill three of his friends, Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Robin (Maya Hawke) and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), he unexpectedly taps into his own, long-dormant psychic powers. <\/p>\n

Sporting white eyes, Will freezes and kills each of the Demogorgons. The episode then ends on a shot of him wiping blood from his nose in a moment purposefully reminiscent of similar instances with Eleven. Suffice it to say, \u201cStranger Things\u201d fans have let their feelings about that final twist be explicitly known online.<\/p>\n

\u201cUNLIMITED CHILLS FOR THE LAST 25MINS OF EPISODE 4 OF \u2018STRANGER THINGS 5,\u2019 one fan wrote on X<\/a>. Elsewhere, another posted<\/a> a video of Will\u2019s final scene in \u201cSorcerer,\u201d writing, \u201cI think this is objectively one of the most badass motherf\u2014king scenes in the history of \u2018Stranger Things.\u2019 This is MONUMENTAL.\u201d<\/p>\n
