In addition to that, Max’s (Sadie Sink) encounter with Vecna left her severely injured and in a coma, and the chances for a full recovery are slim. The Hawkins crew now has a bigger threat to defeat thanks to Vecna, and they will have to work as a team to finally end his reign of horror in the Upside Down and the human world.

Back then,Jonathan and Nancy lured the Demogorgon to Jonathan’s house and Steve arrived unexpectedlyto apologize to Jonathan. Steve ended up being dragged into the fight against the Demogorgon as the creature crashed through the ceiling, and they caught the creature.
This is the only time inStranger Thingsthat Jonathan, Nancy, and Steve have teamed up, andafter that, they have been on separate teams, such as the Scoops Troop in season 3 and the California and Hawkins teams in season 4.Stranger Thingsseason 5 has been teased to be going back to the show’s roots, so it feels fitting that Jonathan, Nancy, and Steve will team up again, and hopefully, for longer than the first time.

As Will’s older brother,Jonathan saw what it’s like being manipulated by the Mind Flayerand the effects this has on those around the possessed person, and all the research he did with Nancy in seasons 2 and 3 will surely come in handy in season 5.
Both Nancy and Steve have already been to the Upside Downmore than once, and Nancy has the extra of having been subjected to Vecna’s haunting visions. Jonathan, Nancy, and Steve have developed different skills and abilities throughoutStranger Things, and putting them together makes a team that has a fair amount of knowledge about Hawkins Lab and enough experience in the Upside Down and with its biggest monsters, so they could be key in finding the right way to defeat Vecna once and for all.
