The California crew, which includes the Byers brothers Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and Will (Noah Schnapp), as well as Will's friend (and Eleven's boyfriend) Mike (Finn Wolfhard) and Jonathan's friend Argyle (Eduardo Franco), were last seen in Salt Lake City in episode six.

After fleeing California, the crew made their way to Utah, hoping that Dustin's computer-whiz girlfriend Suzie (Gabriella Pizzolo) would be able to decode a tip from Agent Harmon (Ira Amyx), who died protecting them from government agents hostile to Eleven. Harmon only provided a number, and when the group called it, they learned that the number connected to a computer, not a phone — hence the need for Suzie's hacking skills.

Luckily, Suzie manages to locate the computer's IP address, tracing it to Nevada. The last shot of the group shows Mike, Will, Jonathan, and Susie finding Argyle and Susie's sister smoking weed in the back of Argyle's van.

Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) — the mother of Will and Jonathan — and former investigative journalist Murray Bauman (Brett Gelman) spent much of season four tracking down Jim Hopper (David Harbour) after he was taken captive by Russians at the conclusion of season three.

By episode seven, they've finally tracked him down to a prison in Kamchatka, Russia. Unfortunately, he's being forced to fight the Demogorgon, a monster from the Upside Down that first emerged in the show's first season, along with Dmitri (Tom Wlaschiha), the Russian guard who attempted to help him escape.

With the help of Joyce and Murray, who open the doors to the arena where Hopper and Dmitri are fending off the creature, they survive the fight. Hopper finally shares an emotional reunion with Joyce.

At the end of the episode, all four characters — Joyce, Murray, Hopper, and Dmitri — are presumably still free agents within the prison.

After recovering her memories of the Hawkins Lab massacre at Vecna's hand, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) presumably remains at the site of the Nina Project in Nevada.

Dr. Owens (Paul Reiser) brought Eleven there to recover her powers and combat Vecna. She worked with Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine), who raised and studied her as a child, to recover her memories from the facility.

By the end of the part one finale, Eleven has presumably recovered her powers, setting the lights in the Nina Project room haywire as she relives the memory of banishing Vecna to the Upside Down.

At the beginning of part one's final episode, the older teens — Steve (Joe Keery), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Eddie (Joseph Quinn), and Robin (Maya Hawke) — are trapped in the Upside Down. Eventually, they manage to make contact with some of the younger kids, who were being interrogated at the Wheeler home by police after they were found out past curfew.

Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Erica (Priah Ferguson), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), and Max (Sadie Sink) rendezvous with the older group at Eddie's trailer, where the first death of the season — cheerleader Chrissy (Grace Van Dien) — occurred. There, they find a portal to the Upside Down, and when they poke through it, they find the teens waiting on the other side.

Dustin fashions a rope to toss through the portal, and Robin and Eddie both climb through to safety. They're last seen in Eddie's trailer.

As she's about to climb up Dustin's rope and out of the Upside Down, Nancy suddenly falls under Vecna's spell. There, he subjects her to visions of her dead friend Barb (Shannon Purser), who died in season one after Nancy left her alone so she could be with her then-boyfriend Steve. Alone by a pool, Barb was pulled into the Upside Down by the Demogorgon and killed.

In the vision, Nancy follows a vision of young Vecna, as he reveals his identity as the son of Victor Creel (Robert Englund), the psychiatric patient that Nancy visited earlier in the season who was charged with the murders of his wife and child.

Nancy is last seen having a vision of Dr. Brenner tattooing a young Vecna with the number 001, marking him as the first test subject in the Hawkins lab program that Eleven grew up in.

Nancy's physical body presumably remains in Eddie's trailer in the Upside Down. Steve was last seen in the episode attempting to revive her, calling out her name and shaking her shoulders.

After revealing his past to Nancy in the Upside Down, Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) presumably remains with her there. Over the course of the season, he hasn't left.

In the final moments of the series, viewed through Eleven's recovered memories, we learn how Vecna turned from Victor Creel's son Henry into a monster. In the memory, Eleven declines to join Vecna after he explains his personal history, eventually defeating him in a fight and opening up the first portal into the Upside Down, banishing him there.

In the past, Vecna tumbles through space into the Upside Down, sustaining multiple strikes of red lightning that distort his body.

The final shot of the episode shows his current distorted body connected to the Upside Down vines. This time, however, the camera pans down to his wrist, showing the number 001 that Dr. Brenner tattooed onto him as a child.
