Where Did Vickie Go in the Stranger Things Finale?

After nearly a decade on our screens, Stranger Things has finally concluded with an emotional finale that has touched fans around the world. While most viewers are satisfied with how the main characters’ stories wrapped up, one specific question has been left unanswered. Many are wondering what exactly happened to Vickie, the character played by Amybeth McNulty.

Following the defeat of Vecna and the Mind Flayer, the show jumps forward 18 months into the future. Robin, played by Maya Hawke, introduces the audience to this new reality with a monologue similar to the one that opened the season. However, during this glimpse into the future, her girlfriend Vickie is completely missing.

We neither see her nor hear any updates about her life, which has sparked numerous discussions on social media. Fans have been asking why the character was seemingly written out or wondering if something tragic happened to her off-screen. The only potential clue lies in a scene where Robin reunites with Steve, Nancy, and Jonathan.

As the group toasts to staying together, Robin adds a remark about “intrusive partners,” implying that her relationship may have come to an end. This “complete disappearance” in the final episode left many viewers confused, but the show’s creators have since addressed the creative choice.

The Duffer brothers admitted they discussed Vickie’s fate but ultimately decided to leave it up to the audience’s interpretation. Ross Duffer explained to Entertainment Weekly that they wanted fans to imagine where the characters might end up, noting that the couple might have stayed together or perhaps drifted apart.

Matt Duffer offered a more pragmatic view, suggesting that high school romances rarely survive the transition to college. It appears that the future of Robin and Vickie’s relationship was intentionally left to our collective imagination rather than shown on screen.

Let us know if you think they stayed together or broke up in the comments.
