Stranger Things premiered its Season 5 finale on New Year’s Eve, closing out the final chapter of the show’s multi-part release. But a growing fan theory circulating on social media, dubbed “Conformity Gate,” suggests the ending viewers saw wasn’t the real one. In fact, some believe another episode is coming later this week.

In Episode 8, the Hawkins crew devises a final plan to enter the Upside Down, rescue the kidnapped children and defeat Vecna once and for all. Despite major obstacles — including the military discovering and interfering with their mission and Kali’s death — they locate Vecna’s lair deep in the Abyss, inside the Pain Tree, which is revealed to be the Mind Flayer itself.

With Eleven entering the Mind Flayer’s body to confront Vecna from within, the rest of the group attacks the monster from the outside. Will taps into the hive mind one last time to save Eleven and help her push Vecna’s body into a massive spike. Joyce delivers the killing blow, chopping off his head with an axe after he “f—ed with the wrong family.”
