Stranger Things 5 | Dustin Explains Everything | Netflix

So, this is Hawkins, and this is the Upside Down. We've always assumed the Upside Down was another dimension opened by Brenner, but it turns out it's actually a bridge. More specifically, an interdimensional bridge that rips through space-time.

It is wildly unstable, but held together by exotic matter, which we found dead center right above the lab. In theoretical physics, they call this type of bridge a… Wormhole. And this wormhole connects Hawkins to here, another world that I've coined the Abyss.

-Any particular reason? -A realm of pure chaos and evil. -I'm sorry?

-D&D. -Jesus Christ. -Wow.

I believe this Abyss is the true home of the Demogorgons, the vines, the Mind Flayer, all the nasty shit we found in the Upside Down. It's where all those years ago you banished Henry. He was lost for years, and would've stayed lost if it wasn't for Brenner.

He had me find Henry. And when you made remote contact with the Abyss, the bridge formed. Ever since, Henry and his army of monsters have been using it to cross right back into Hawkins.

We kicked Vecna's ass last year, but I think he just fled across this bridge back to the Abyss to lick his wounds. What a pussy. So all this time, Vecna's been hiding in the sky?

Explains why every crawl led to a dead end. -And why I can't find him in the baths. -And why Holly fell from the damn sky.

Yeah, but why is he taking kids up there? For the same reason he took me. The minds of children are weaker, right?

More easily molded and controlled. So he channeled his thoughts and powers through me to amplify his abilities, and he's gonna do the same with those kids. Amplify his abilities?

To do what? Move worlds. Holly, she said Henry told the kids that they would help him draw the worlds together.

I didn't understand what that meant at the time, but… He wants to move the Abyss, crash it into Hawkins. No, not crash. Merge.

Henry wasn't licking his wounds in the Abyss. He was making rifts, weakening the Abyss, just like he weakened Hawkins. So when the Abyss and Hawkins collide… They become one.

He's remaking the world. How long do we think this takes? To move worlds?

Are we talking like… Or is this gonna take some time? We better hope we have some time. Because if this is all correct, we have to get 2,000 feet in the air, find our way into the Abyss, free Holly and the kids, and kill Vecna all before our worlds merge.

And if my theory's right, he's gonna move worlds tonight.
