Billy, no longer possessed by the Mind Flayer, also dies after heroically saving Eleven.
Doing so kills the Mind Flayer’s physical form, but Hopper also seemingly dies in the process. But it returned by finding a new host in Billy Hargrove (Dacre Montgomery), the abusive step brother of Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) and by creating a blob-like physical form in the real world.īy the season three finale, Jim Hopper (David Harbour) confronts a team of Russians attempting to open a doorway into the Upside Down, and he and Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) destroy their machine to seal off the gate. A season earlier, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) closed a gate to the Upside Down and seemingly trapped the Mind Flayer, which had been possessing Will Byers (Noah Schnapp). Stranger Things‘ third season culminated in a battle against the Mind Flayer, a creature from the alternate dimension of the Upside Down.
