Recent episodes of "Stranger Things" Season 5 have generated significant fan reactions due to major plot developments. The Season 5, Volume 1 finale, specifically Episode 4, delivered two game-changing revelations in its closing moments, drastically altering the series' narrative landscape and leaving viewers reeling from the unexpected turns.
The first major twist saw Eleven and Hopper uncovering that the military base in the Upside Down is holding Kali Prasad, or Eight, captive, rather than their anticipated target, Vecna. Eight’s return marks her first appearance since Season 2, reuniting her with Eleven and sparking considerable online discussion among fans.
The most impactful reveal, however, is that Will Byers is the episode's "sorcerer." As Demogorgons threatened his friends, Will's long-dormant psychic powers manifested, enabling him to defeat the creatures. This monumental display, marked by white eyes and a bloody nose, has been hailed by fans as one of the series' most iconic scenes.
