Hopper and Eleven’s father-daughter relationship is one of the few heartwarming parts of this otherwise eerily thrilling series. The way Hopper goes from hunting down El to seeing her as the kid who just wanted a home is a journey I personally loved.
Amongst numerous other things, El’s relationship with Hopper became a little unsteady. After all, she was a teenager, and being annoyed and angry with your parents is just part of the process. But by the end, when Hopper is presumed dead, El regrets that her last words to her father were unpleasant.
Lucky for her, Hopper is alive in Russia. We see Joyce and Murray trying to rescue him with some help from a prison guard. But things aren’t that easy for them, and it takes quite a while even to have hope that the three would make it out alive.
On the other hand, El’s not at home anymore. She’s gone to an Indiana facility where Dr. Martin Brenner is trying to get her powers back so that she can defeat Vecna. In all this chaos, will Hopper and Eleven reunite in the Stranger Things season 4 finale?
Eleven and Hopper will most likely reunite in the Stranger Things season 4 finale. The entire gang would come together to defeat Vecna and perhaps even the Russian agents who kept Hopper captive.
Here’s a quick recap of what’s happening with El and Jim. Jim is alive and captured by the Russians. He’s then made to work in prison, where he manages to befriend a prison guard. To phrase it more accurately, he promises him a lot of money if he helps Hopper escape.
So, the guard sends a message to Joyce asking for random. Murray, whom we last saw in season 3, flies to Hawkins because Joyce didn’t know anyone else who was familiar with Russians.
A lot happens in the middle, and I’m going to skip that, but in the end, Murray, Joyce, Hopper, and the prison guard manage to escape. However, they’re far from home and still have to find a way to get there.
On the other hand, El comes face to face with Sam Owens, whom we saw in season 3 as well. Although he worked with Dr. Martin Brenner, he was still nice to El and her friends and even gave her a new identity and place to live to keep her safe.
With everything happening in Hawkins, Lt. Colonel Sullivan blames El for it, but Sam knows it’s not her. After all, she had lost her powers at the end of season 3, when she defeated the Mindflayer.
However, Owens gives her the choice of regaining her powers and using them to stop Vecna, the actual character behind the murders in Hawkins and a much more significant threat than we’ve ever seen before.
El takes this offer and reaches a facility in Indiana, where she encounters her long-lost foe and friend, Dr. Martin Brenner. The two decide to work together on her powers. Once again, I’m going to skip all the incidents that take place there.
In the end, El gains her powers for a brief moment as she creates a surge of energy and tosses away all the guards around her. However, when she tries to use the same power on Brenner to escape the facility, she is unable to. He tells her that it wouldn’t be that easy.
This means that her powers are not at 100%, and she needs them to defeat Vecna. So, until now, Hopper and Eleven have not united, but they most likely will in the Stranger Things season 4 finale.
It is a trope that the creators, Duffer Brothers, have incorporated in all the seasons that have come out so far, and it’s hard to think why they wouldn’t do it this time. So, along with the rest of the gang, this father-daughter duo shall reunite and kick some ass together.
