Warning: spoilers are ahead for Stranger Things Season 5 through Volume 2, available streaming now in the 2025 TV schedule with a Netflix subscription.
The wait is nearly over for the very last episode of Stranger Things, after Volume 2 game-changers like Jonathan and Nancy’s “un-proposal” as well as Max waking up from her trance and the setup of handful of possible deaths. There was also room for another heroic moment from a member of the Wheeler family, and I don’t just mean Nancy, Mike, and/or Holly. Karen of all people came in with a big save at a clutch moment, and I cheered her choice while also wondering: why doesn’t anybody care about Ted?
