What exactly is this place, and why is she able to get there more easily now? 12. This season, she simply ties a Karate Kid style blindfold around her head and faces the television. This space looks the same, but how she gets there is totally different now. In season 2, she visits Terry, Mike and the cabin. Within this place that some speculate is her very own blacked-out consciousness, she was able to see Will (Noah Schnapp), Barb and a Russian government agent in season 1. In season 1, Eleven could only access the shallow waters of that black plane of existence we keep seeing in one of two ways: 1) a sensory deprivation tank or 2) a kiddie pool filled with salt. Will Eleven’s mentor help the Hawkins squad by duping the monster with her powers in future seasons? Or will she be working on her own personal brand?Ĭourtesy Netflix 11. Unlike Eleven, when it comes to the “bad men” who hurt her, Kali’s out for blood. As Eleven is the first to admit, she’s killed, but it was always defensive. In her long lost roommate, Eleven found someone who truly understood her plight, but she’s a questionable role model. Then in episode seven, “The Lost Sister,” we learn she’s Eleven’s former fellow Hawkins lab subject who escaped. We first meet the powerful new character Kali (Linnea Berthelsen) in the show’s opener, as she throws off the cops on her gang’s tail by conjuring the illusion of a crumbling bridge. Does this mean they are all infected or marked in some way like Will now? 5. Dustin may have gotten the worst of it, having swallowed a mouthful of Upside Down matter. But a number of characters - Joyce, Bob and later on Steve, Lucas, Dustin, Mike and Max - also trekked down there without masks or biohazard suits. Hopper spent the most time down in the land of icky vines. Did everyone who went in the tunnel get infected? Oh, and those Hawkins lab workers no one seemed to care for too much.Ĭourtesy Netflix 4. Radio Shack’s finest and most perfect employee Bob (Sean Astin). Stranger Things season 2 introduced ruthless, hungry Demogorgon youths that killed countless great guys. What other monsters does the Upside Down have in store? Why though? Is it after Eleven? Is it mad some of its soldiers have been killed? One more possibility: Is the monster really tight with the librarian who Hopper ghosted in season 1? Maybe it simply will not let the Chief get away with this move. If our hero Eleven aced her gate closing mission like she aced her MTV punk aesthetics, the season’s eerie final shot still set up a future where the monster will still be out to get everyone. What’s with the monster in the Upside Down version of the school? Besides, anyone - from Eleven to Kali or another Hawkins vet - could open up a pathway. It seems likely that the monster will find a way back in. For example, there’s the route Hopper unearthed in the pumpkin patch, or the one Nancy (Natalia Dyer) takes through the tree in season 1. Gate aside, there could always be alternate pathways to the Upside Down. If Eleven has actually closed the gate for good, we could give the middle school drama our undivided attention. To pull it off, she had to summon her anger toward a bunch of people she hates: we see her flash through memories of Papa Brenner (Matthew Modine), who set her up for a lifetime of daddy issues, and Max (Sadie Sink), who very disrespectfully made Mike (Finn Wolfhard) smile once. Sealing off what’s likely the mother of all portals is an incredible feat - even for the powerful Eleven. Just as she does, some Demodogs die as a result from being cut off from their overlord. We see her push the monster (in smoke form) back to the other side. It looks like Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) did successfully close the gate in season 2’s final episode. So did Eleven close the gate and are we totally cool now? Grab your paddles and take a curiosity voyage with us into the 14 biggest questions we’re thinking about after binging Stranger Things season 2.
