Where All the "Stranger Things" Characters End Up in the Season 4 Finale

Dustin remains largely in the "comic relief" box throughout the season, working alongside the rest of his Hawkins friends to fight off Vecna's invasion. His buddy-comedy dynamic with Steve remains in place, and he also befriends Eddie. That new friendship provides one of the most devastating moments of the season, with Eddie sacrificing himself to save his friends and dying in Dustin's arms.
