Overview

  • Multiple UK outlets report viewers highlighting an early-season scene where Mike gifts Holly a cleric figurine described with protective and teleportation abilities.
  • Fans argue the figurine dialogue may foreshadow Holly developing abilities, with later season moments cited as additional, non-explicit hints.
  • A Reddit thread titled "Holly the Heroic" helped crystallize the theory, sharing screenshots and inviting debate over the finale’s direction.
  • Some commenters extend the idea to other children affected this season, linking it to Will Byers’ established connection, while others remain skeptical of any new powers.
