Notes

• After the release of the first teaser trailer for Season 5, Ross Duffer reposted it on his Instagram with the following caption: "Here we go. One last adventure. Don’t worry about spoilers — this teaser pulls from every episode except 7, but it’s mostly Volume One and just barely scratches the surface".
