We’ve officially made it to the end of Stranger Things season 4, and fans are definitely going to need tissues ready to watch the final two episodes. The highly-anticipated installment came nearly three years after season 3, and was split into two parts. The first seven episodes, a.k.a. volume 1, debuted on May 27, and volume 2 just dropped in the early hours this morning. Even though there are only two episodes in this release, they’re super-sized and extremely action-packed.

A major storyline in Stranger Things season 4 is Eleven’s (Millie Bobby Brown) struggle finding her identity and dealing with the fact that she no longer has powers. In the season 3 finale, she lost them due to overextending herself in the fight against the Mind Flayer, and it takes her a long time to even start getting them back.

Spoilers ahead for Stranger Things season 4.

In Stranger Things season 4 volume 1, Eleven agrees to start working with Dr. Owens (Paul Reiser) to regain her powers and save the world again. What she doesn’t know is that Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine) is also involved. Although she initially wants out, she agrees to work with the both of them and it works out… for the most part. Dr. Owens and Dr. Brenner each other out, with Brenner taking a harsher approach and wanting fast results, while Owens puts Eleven’s wellbeing first.

Eleven regains some of her powers temporarily in season 4 volume 1, but it’s not until she learns a shocking discovery by going back far into her past does she get them back fully.

Does Eleven have her powers in Stranger Things season 4 part 2?

Although Eleven goes through a really traumatic experience reliving one of her most painful memories back in the Rainbow Room, what she learns really helps her and the state of Hawkins. After realizing who Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) really is — Number One / Henry Creel — she regains her powers and is ready to fight back. Before anything else, she wants to save her friends.

Fortunately, Eleven does fully regain her powers in season 4 part 2 and she’s able to save so many people in the finale because of it. Considering Vecna is still alive and will be back soon, she’s going to need all the strength possible to (hopefully) take him down for good in Stranger Things season 5.

You can stream all nine episodes of Stranger Things season 4 right now on Netflix.
