Summary
Kit, Andy, and Steve close out Stranger Things Season 4 with an emotional, explosive, and unforgettable finale. In Chapter Nine: The Piggyback, the battle against Vecna reaches its breaking point as the Hawkins crew puts a risky, multi-pronged plan into action. While Max, Lucas, and Erica attempt to lure Vecna into a trap, Nancy, Steve, and Robin venture deeper into the Upside Down to strike at his physical form. Meanwhile, Eleven discovers a way to “piggyback” into Max’s mind from miles away, joining the fight on a psychic battlefield where everything is on the line. Across the globe, Hopper, Joyce, and Murray face their own monstrous obstacles as they try to weaken Vecna’s army from afar.
