Stranger Things Season 2 ends on December 15, 1984, at the high school’s snow ball. By this point, Eleven has been formally adopted by Hopper thanks to Sam Owens, and she and Mike become a couple at last.

In a rage, Henry killed his mother and his young sister, Alice. He tried to kill his father too, but he overexerted himself and passed out.

Stranger Things season 5 uncovers an interesting detail regarding Henry Creel’s past in Hawkins, but it raises more questions about other characters.
