Warning: This article contains a minor spoiler for Stranger Things’ final season—but don’t worry, it won’t turn your viewing experience upside down.
It’s been almost 10 years since #JusticeForBarb took over the internet.
Indeed, Stranger Things creators Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer didn’t think Shannon Purser’s character Barbara Holland—nor her untimely death in season one—would make such an impact on fans.
The uproar, however, was so intense that it turns out the Duffer brothers decided to finally give Barb (kind of) the closure her character deserves in the Netflix series’ forthcoming fifth and final season.
According to Time’s Eliana Dockterman, who was treated to a tour of the series’ set during filming of the final season, Barb’s body can be found “half-buried” in a tunnel.
As for how the body of gone-too-soon high schooler Barb is faring after years in the Upside Down, she is reportedly covered in vines and bears a bleeding gash on her neck.
A grim, grisly final look at a fan favorite who disappeared in a pool, without a trace.
