Saving Hawkins from supernatural threats has always come at a high cost. So, every viewer was geared up to see how brutal Stranger Things Season 5 was going to be. The Duffer Brothers have also repeatedly said in interviews that the finale will be a masterpiece. We also knew that such television shows never say goodbye without giving us something to cry for. Since the final episode aired, the audience has been scrolling online to find out who dies at the end of Stranger Things. Here’s the answer you have been looking for.
Does Anyone Die in the Stranger Things Finale?
Yes, Stranger Things Season 5 Episode 8 ends with a murder, but it’s an unexpected death that, in my opinion, you wouldn’t have feared. Fans anticipated that one of the main characters would undoubtedly be killed, but the show surprised us by going in a different direction. Kali, who didn’t get to play a significant role until this season, was the only one who ultimately met her terrible end.
By holding Kali captive, Lieutenant Akers coerces Hopper into disclosing Eleven’s whereabouts. But Akers shoots Kali in the left side while Hopper denies. That was really an anomaly, though, because Akers wasn’t truly shooting Kali; instead, he was attempting to scare Hopper.
On the other hand, Kali is killed by Akers after Murray attacks the Hawkins lab with a bomb. He has lost a lot of blood by the time El and Hopper get close to her. Kali tells Eleven that she knew her tale would finish here, but she also acknowledges that her sister still has a long way to go.
