Stranger Things may have put our favorite characters through the wringer once again, but there was no shortage of sweet moments, particularly when it came to a long-awaited reunion between Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) and Max (Sadie Sink).
Never losing faith in Max’s potential return to the real world, Lucas remained diligently by her side, as fans saw at the beginning of Season 5. He’d visit her in the hospital, play Kate Bush‘s “Running Up That Hill,” and believed that searching for Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) could be the answer to her salvation. As fans finally saw in Volume 2’s pivotal episode, “Escape From Camazotz,” Max found an open portal to Lucas.
The catch? Vecna had used Will (Noah Schnapp) to find Max’s physical body and then sent the Demogorgons after her. Thanks to Mrs. Wheeler (Cara Buono), the monster was blown to smithereens after she threw an oxygen tank into a dryer machine. This gave Max enough wiggle room on the other side of Camazotz to emerge in the real world, out of her trance.
