And now, let us begin...
After the announcement that Stranger Things 5 would be the last season of the Netflix
flagship series, all eyes were on how season 4 would set up the finale. The introduction
of Vecna gave the entire cast of characters a formidable threat to go up against, and
the death toll in Stranger Things season 4 was extremely high thanks to his ritualistic
killings and murderous past. Vecna, also known as Henry Creel or test subject number 001,
is the ultimate villain of Stranger Things as well as the creator of the Mind Flayer.
With an individual as powerful as him, our gang at Hawkins will need all the help they
can get for the final season when it comes out sometime in the next 2 to 3 years. It
is very clear that Eleven herself won’t be enough to stop Henry Creel, but sadly enough
there aren’t a lot of people out there in the world that could help her out.
Stranger Things season 4 ultimately revealed that Vecna killed the other test subjects
of Hawkins Lab. It was a very crucial part of Eleven's backstory to reveal in Stranger
Things 4, as it meant she was basically the only person powerful enough to oppose Vecna's
plan. Throughout all of the flashbacks scenes, though, viewers quickly noticed that another
test subject was missing: Kali, also known as Eight. Her introduction in Stranger Things
season 2 marked the first time Eleven met another test subject who escaped, but ever
since then, she has disappeared.
Kali was the first of Eleven’s siblings from Hawkins Lab to be introduced in Stranger
Things. Season 2 episode 7 saw Kali teaching Eleven to channel her powers through associations
with memories, a lesson that was also once taught to her by Henry Creel in season 4.
Considering that 008 was the only other super-powered character shown before Eleven’s flashbacks,
it was widely speculated that Stranger Things season 4 would bring her back to help defeat
Vecna. However, perhaps due to The Lost Sister being regarded as the worst episode in the
series, the character wasn’t even featured in Eleven’s flashbacks to Hawkins Lab in
1979. Despite Kali’s physical presence being removed from Stranger Things 4, the fact that
the show tackled the lab storyline once again and Henry Creel mentioned could suggest that
a triumphant return in Stranger Things 5 could still be in store.
Following Kali's appearance in Stranger Things season 2, the show has not provided any other
information on her whereabouts. Vecna's massacre also indicates that she is the only other
powered person in the world known to audiences. Due to the deaths of the other subjects, Kali
needs to return in Stranger Things season 5. She has become the only person who can
possibly team up with Eleven to fight Vecna. And if Vecna is even more powerful than he
was the last time he and Eleven fought, Kali's powers will be useful in trying to take him
down and save Hawkins once and for all. We shall see if she will return in the final
season. Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today. Do you think that Kali will be back in Stranger
Things 5?
