Steve: I love murder mysteries!

STRANGER THINGS SEASON 4 SPOILERS!
Chrissy's role in S4
TW: mentions of overdose, drugs, and abusive parenting
One of the new characters this season who I am especially looking forward to is Chrissy, who's described as a popular cheerleader with a dark secret. Due to a mixture of official releases and leaks, we know that she will be dating Jason this season (another new character), will have a poor relationship with her abusive mother and will get drugs from Eddie. But what will her plotline be this season? There will be spoilers ahead that aren't from the trailer so read on at your own risk.
I believe that Chrissy's main purpose in this series is unfortunately to die. I think she'll most likely die in Episode 2 or at the end of Episode 1 in order to kickstart the mystery of the season. This would be a good beginning to the episode Vecna's Curse as perhaps Chrissy could be the victim of this curse or maybe even a sacrifice to Vecna possibly like Victor Creel's family before her. In my opinion, Chrissy will die in a Vecna-induced trance.
I believe Chrissy will be put into a trance and killed, which will be one of Vecna's powers, proven by the Monopoly cards and the Nightmare on Elm Street themes of S4. Chrissy will be cursed by Vecna either at the end of Episode 1 or in the episode Vecna's Curse and then mysteriously die in her sleep because Vecna can kill you in your nightmares. The nightmare will possibly consist of her traumatic memories with her mother, as Vecna forces people to relive upsetting moments such as Max reliving the events at Hawkins mall. At the end of this nightmare, Chrissy would get attacked and die and there will be no trace of monster interference as she was asleep. The shot of her will likely be at the end of the dream.
How will her death impact the plot? Because it appears she randomly died in her sleep, I believe it will look like she overdosed. Considering she buys drugs from Eddie, he will appear very guilty meaning Eddie is forced to go into hiding from the police and from Chrissy's boyfriend. There's also the possibility that Chrissy's cruel mother who already knows she's drinking/doing drugs (based on her audition tape) may try push the blame onto him for her own dignity, ie. by saying he poisoned her with drugs. That or Vecna kills her in her dream like in Nightmare on Elm Street and you see the impact of the killing. Either way, Jason (her boyfriend) and his friends will then aim to hunt down Eddie as an act of vengeance. I explain this in a lot more detail in a previous post which I recommend reading to learn more about Eddie's plotline. The gang will then be thrust into the mystery not only to stop Vecna but to prove Eddie, their friend, innocent.
TLDR: Chrissy will die early on in the show to showcase Vecna's powers and be a catalyst for the mystery of S4.
Rip Chrissy Cunningham you would have loved Mitski <3
Wild that we've got Chrissy with an eating disorder/maybe she was pregnant I wasn't totally sure, Patrick who it seemed like maybe he was having troubles at home maybe with his Dad, Max with survivors guilt over Billy and then just Freddie getting away with manslaughter wtf!? I was like ok yeah these seem like classic things for teenagers to be stressed about or things the audience could sympathise with and Freddie killed a man, huh, what, was not expecting that from the lil guy.
S4 Ep 1 thoughts that absolutely no one asked for, but I need to get them out of my brain:
My sweet baby Will is all grown up and painting a picture for Mike?? Maybe? You can do better tbh, sweetie.
He did his hero presentation on Alan Turing? Love it.
Mike's dad is still a twat. I hate him so much.
BOOBIES.
I do not understand pep rallies. American high schools are weird.
Oh, El. 😭 Why are these kids being such dicks about her dead dad? Jesus.
I would like to give Max a big fucking hug.
Yeah, unsurprisingly, I love Eddie already.
Did Mike grow his hair to be like Eddie? He is very 😍 towards Eddie.
MURRAY!! ❤️
Argyle's hair is BEAUTIFUL.
Omg. EDDIE AND CHRISSY ARE SO EFFING PRECIOUS. Their chemistry is off the charts.
Ahhh ha ha ha Tammy Thompson. (Steve's face at his date saying she sounded good 😂)
YES, ERICA. I fucking love you.
Aw. The basketball/DnD mash up was great. Sinclair sibs ftw (do people still say ftw?)
Holy hell. Nooooooope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Did not like that. Nope. Chrissy was a sweetheart. Why?? And so unnecessarily horrific.
The great thing about rewatching something is that you can fast forward through the cringe scenes.
RIP CHRISSY
Ash had us all fooled in a very different, very convincing way. We all knew about Chrissy and Ash, who convinced each one of us that we were the only one that knew the secret.
Alas, even my trust issues couldn't do anything 😂😂

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
