Meanwhile, Holly speaks to Mike about her supposedly imaginary friend, Mr. Whatsit, in Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 1.
Who is Mr Whatsit from Stranger Things Season 5?
Holly (Nell Fisher) tells Mike (Finn Wolfhard) that she has a friend, whom she refers to as Mr. Whatsit, in a nod to the cosmic guardian Mrs. Whatsit from the 1962 fantasy novel A Wrinkle in Time, according to Time. She also tells Mike that Mr Whatsit has promised to save her from the monsters in Hawkins. The ending of Episode 2 reveals Mr Whatsit to be Vecna’s human form as Henry Creel.
Vecna’s plan with the children
Vecna’s intentions are malicious. Apart from Holly, Vecna wants to kidnap several Hawkins children and take them to the realm he has created to reflect his psyche and childhood home, per the outlet.
Soon, Will realises that his visions are enabling him to see through the eyes of whatever being Vecna is currently targeting via the Upside Down hive mind. The group then devises a method to attach a tracker to the Demogorgon Vecna sic on his next target, young Derek Turnbow (Jake Connelly), to follow the creature and locate Holly.
Additionally, Holly learns at the end of Episode 3 that Max (Sadie Sink) has been psychically imprisoned in Vecna's mindscape ever since he attacked her in the Season 4 finale.
Stranger Things season 5 is split into two parts. Volume 1 has four episodes. Volume 2, dropping on Christmas this year, will have three episodes. The finale will release on New Year's Eve.
