Who Is Mr. Whatsit In Stranger Things 5? Vecna’s Plan Explained
Stranger Things Season 5 begins just a few days before the fourth anniversary of Will’s disappearance in 1987. Vecna is still a big danger and is waiting for the right moment to attack. During this time, Holly tells Mike that she has an “imaginary” friend named Mr. Whatsit.
Who is Mr. Whatsit?
Holly tells Mike that Mr. Whatsit is her friend and that he promised to protect her from the monsters in Hawkins. At the end of Episode 2, it is revealed that Mr. Whatsit is actually Vecna in his human form — Henry Creel.
So the “imaginary friend” is really Vecna tricking her.
What is Vecna planning?
Vecna has an evil plan. He wants to kidnap several children in Hawkins and take them into a dark world he created based on his own memories and childhood home.
Will also discovers that his visions allow him to see what Vecna sees through the Upside Down hive mind. This helps the group understand which child Vecna is targeting next.
The team then attaches a tracker to the Demogorgon that Vecna sends after his next victim, Derek Turnbow, hoping it will lead them to Holly.
Big reveal about Max
In Episode 3, Holly learns that Max has been trapped inside Vecna’s mind ever since he attacked her in the Season 4 finale.
