Theres a catch.
Hes able to briefly stop the Mind Flayers attacks, but he dies as a result.
When the Season 4 trailer dropped, there was speculation about whether Billy would return.
ButBilly is not alive inStranger Things4 at least, not literally.
Dacre Montgomery does make an appearance, though.
Heres everything to know.
Dear Billy, I dont know if you’re able to even hear this …
So much has happened since you left, she begins.
Ever since you left, everythings been a total disaster.
And the worst part is, I cant tell anyone why youre gone.
I cant tell them that you saved Els life.
That you saved my life, she says.
I imagine that if I had, that you would still be here.
And everything would be right again.
I imagine that we couldve become friends.
Good friends, like a real brother and sister.
She admits that she knows thats stupid because they hated each other.
But I thought maybe we could take another crack.
But thats not what happened …
I think a part of me died that day, too.
Its a touching scene, but its immediately interrupted by another Vecna hallucination.
While Maxs body remains in front of Billys tombstone, her mind is transported to the Upside Down.
Suddenly she hears Billys voice, and sees his bloody body walking towards her.
Max, Ive been waiting to hear those words, Vecna Billy says.
But it wasnt the full truth, was it?
I think theres a part of you, buried somewhere deep, that wanted me to die that day.
That was maybe even relieved.
But we can at least confirm Billyreallyis gone, even if Season 4 does feature a brief cameo.
