Stranger Things: Discover Vickie’s Fate in Robin’s Storyline

As “Stranger Things” season five concludes, fans have been left pondering the fate of several key characters. The much-anticipated finale premiered on New Year’s Eve in the United States and the early hours of January 1st for UK viewers. This two-hour cinematic event featured a climactic battle with Vecna, portrayed by Jamie Campbell Bower, alongside the formidable Mind Flayer.

The Fate of Robin and Vickie

Set 18 months after the final showdown, the series provides glimpses into the lives of the core group. Dustin, Lucas, Mike, Max, and Will are seen celebrating their graduation, while the older characters embark on new paths. Jonathan focuses on a film centered around capitalism, Nancy starts her journalism career, and Steve takes on the role of a PE and sex education teacher.

Robin, played by Maya Hawke, reveals that she is studying at Smith College in Massachusetts. However, she noticeably omits any mention of her girlfriend, Vickie Dunne, portrayed by Amybeth McNulty. This absence has led fans to speculate about their relationship status.

Hints of a Breakup

• Robin refers to “overbearing significant others” during a reunion with friends.
• This remark suggests a possible separation from Vickie.
• The relationship dynamics appear strained, especially given Robin’s focus on her friendships rather than her romance.

Earlier in the series, Robin made plans to treat Vickie to a nice dinner at Enzo’s but later faced challenges due to the supernatural events surrounding Vecna. Initially, Vickie misunderstood Robin’s situation, suspecting drug use instead of battling monsters. Thankfully, she eventually learned the truth, but their relationship still seems to be faltering.

Unresolved Fates of Other Characters

While Robin’s fate raises questions, other characters also leave fans curious. Eleven’s (Millie Bobby Brown) survival seems uncertain after the obliteration of the Upside Down. In a significant moment, Mike suggests that Kali may have helped Eleven survive. A brief glimpse of Eleven admiring waterfalls hints at her possible presence somewhere in the world, but her true fate remains ambiguous.

As “Stranger Things” enters its conclusion, viewers are left not only with questions about Vickie and Robin’s relationship but also about the futures of their favorite characters. The series is currently streaming on Netflix, allowing fans to rewatch the journey of the Hawkins gang.
