[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Stranger Things<\/em>, Season 5, Volume 1, Episode 4, \u201cSorcerer.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s been clear from the beginning of\u00a0Stranger Things<\/em><\/a> that Will Byers\u2019 (Noah Schnapp<\/a>) would play a vital role in the show\u2019s arc, and despite his disappearance in the first season, he\u2019s been a monster detector for his friends and family in Hawkins since his stay in the Upside Down, and it seems he gained more than just an uncanny detection ability\u2026<\/p>\n As viewers discover in Volume 1 of the show\u2019s fifth and final season on Netflix<\/a>, Will Byers is gifted with an ability to see through the eyes of Vecna and any of the monsters he\u2019s controlling. When Vecna begins to send Demogorgons after the children of Hawkins, first kidnapping Holly Wheeler (Nell Fisher<\/a>), Will begins to have these visions that manifest in strong reactions.<\/p>\n When Holly is taken, Will wishes to help out and teams up with Robin (Maya Hawke<\/a>) to test the theory that his visions are dependent upon proximity to Vecna and his monsters. This theory seemed to prove true, but was further expanded as Will began to grow into himself more and accept the things that make him unique, mainly inspired after seeing Robin and Vickie (Amybeth McNulty<\/a>) share a kiss during a secret moment at Hawkins\u2019 hospital.<\/p>\n Netflix<\/p>\n<\/div>\n With Robin\u2019s words of encouragement, Will was able to dig deep and embrace his true self and the dormant powers within him to stop Vecna\u2019s army of Demogorgons. Fans were clued into the bigger implications of Will\u2019s disappearance when Netflix released Season 5\u2019s opening minutes, offering a new perspective on the boy\u2019s disappearance in 1983. It turned out that his connection with Vecna began long before the big bad first emerged onscreen in Season 4.<\/p>\n In the fourth episode, \u201cSorcerer,\u201d these powers that Will had gained were used to his advantage after he faced Vecna for the first time since his disappearance in 1983. Triggered by the villain\u2019s demeaning sentiment that he targets children because their minds are malleable and weak, and that Will had shown him what was possible so many years ago, it appeared that Vecna spoke too soon.<\/p>\n Will was emboldened to fight back, as he used mind control to stop and kill the Demogorgons who were about to tear Mike (Finn Wolfhard<\/a>), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin<\/a>), and Robin apart. The killings were reminiscent of Vecna\u2019s limb-bending style, hinting at a worthy opponent for the evildoer in Volume 2 and the series finale.<\/p>\n Hopefully Volume 2 of\u00a0Stranger Things<\/em> Season 5 will uncover even more about Will\u2019s abilities; in the meantime, we\u2019re reveling in the revelation.
