Okay, so season 5 picks up about a year and a half after everything went down in season 4. Hawkins is basically under lockdown, with the military all over the place, because of that massive ‘earthquake’ – which, of course, we know was really Vecna causing trouble. We haven’t seen Vecna since he got blasted out that window, but everyone’s still on edge, preparing for his next attack. Hopper and Joyce are focused on helping Eleven get her powers back on track, while the rest of us – Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, Nancy, Jonathan, Steve, and Robin – are all trying to figure out how to find him. It’s tough, though, because Max is still in a coma, and seeing her just reminds us of everything that’s at stake.
