Unfortunately, the romantic establishing of Mucas (oof) meant that Dustin officially missed his window to express his feelings for Max. In spite of Billy's protests, the pair got together in a short, sweet, and direct fashion, fitting of their "feels like this has been here all along" vibe. Stay tuned.Īnother couple, Max and Lucas, also made their season-long crush official at the Snow Ball. Suffice it to say, super-powered teenage rebellion is probably a little spicier than just missing curfew. How the budding romance will play out amidst Hopper's over-protective parenting (and Eleven's ongoing struggle to hide from the government) remains to be seen. It was the perfect middle school-style Happily Ever After, recent peril be damned. The last scene of Stranger Things 2 was blissfully devoid of demogorgons - but chock-full of raging adolescent hormones.Īt the Hawkins Middle Snow Ball, Mike and Eleven cozied up for a well-deserved, post-world-saving slow dance that crescendoed with a first kiss to “Every Breath You Take” by The Police. Is Will still possessed?Įleven and Mike share a charming (and only kind of awkward) first dance. TL DR: Unlike the Demogorgon of Season 1, The Mind Flayer is gone for now - but not for good. The creatures of the Upside Down's psychic connection to Earth has yet to be explored in detail, but we're betting Season 3 will tackle it with one of those helpful "the kids explain with Dungeons and Dragons metaphors" scenes. Presumably, that means the Mind Flayer/Shadow Monster, its semi-sentient tendrils, the aptly named demodogs, and whatever other horrors the mysterious realm holds are now safely locked in their alternate reality.īut as the episode's ominous final shot, showing the Mind Flayer seemingly hovering unseen above the real Hawkins Middle School, revealed, they're likely not entirely gone.

The final episode of Stranger Things 2, titled "The Gate," offered a mostly satisfying conclusion to the action-packed season with only a few unanswered questions left dangling in the Upside Down.Īfter a long-fought battle against the Mind Flayer, Eleven, with help from Hopper, Joyce, and the rest of the gang, used her telekinesis to successfully close the portal created by Hawkins Lab that connected Earth to the Upside Down.
