I solved all the puzzles on the Stranger Things website today – the only one left is this one, which opens in 6 hours. It's the only puzzle with a lock on it.
Now that I'm thinking about it, Mindy Flair was literally talking about "locks" and gates being "closed" on WSQK today. Will's necklace looks like a lock in the epilogue. Hopper's line, "Getting to Mike, now that was the key." Something about Mike and Will being associated with doors, lyrics like "Love that was new to you, you open up the door", and the final shot of Episode 8 being a closed door...
Oh, I am going to wait those 6 hours. Best case scenario, a new chapter is unlocked – AKA, the real ending or a teaser for it. Worst case scenario, I get a fuckass clip I've already seen before.
I'm gonna be real with you, I'm feeling so tired of all this, but the analysis must go on! Long enough for me to at least get closure on whether everything was (or wasn't) a bunch of bullshit <3
