They Never Told the Kids the Truth (A Stranger Things Timeline Problem)

Rewatching Stranger Things raises a question that won’t go away.

What actually happened to Henry Creel after the murders?
Why do certain memories feel intentional instead of random?
And is it possible the adults in Hawkins knew far more than they ever told the kids?

We dig into timeline gaps, dormant vs active powers, Hawkins Lab inconsistencies, and whether the show is foreshadowing something big — or intentionally misdirecting us.

This isn’t about reaching for answers.
It’s about noticing patterns the show keeps circling back to.
