Gearing Up For Stranger Things Season 2? Don't Forget How Season 1 Ends

Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) are Will Byers's best friends. After Will's disappearance, the gang embarks on a quest to find their missing friend. Along the way, they meet Eleven, learn of the Upside-Down, and try to destroy the Demogorgon. During the season finale, they come up with a plan that will get their friend back and destroy the monster once and for all. Successful, their lives go back to normal; however, having developed feelings for Eleven (even kissing her and asking her to the Winter dance!), Mike struggles to move on from her apparent death.
