When season 4 of Stranger Things came to a close, Max was left in critical condition. Her body was broken, her vision gone, and her heart stopped until Eleven intervened.

A clip from season 5 shows some characters in Stranger Things moving through what looks like an underground bunker. This may imply that they are under government supervision after the situation spiraled out of control in the season 4 finale. It will be interesting to see how this development impacts the story in season 5.
