'Stranger Things' Season 4 Volume 2: Is Ms Kelly working with Vecna?

The theory does make sense considering that he knows who to target. Max was one of the teens who were taking counseling sessions and Vecna's target

It's possible that Vecna had some inside help in 'Stranger Things' Season 4 when he claimed traumatic kids as his victims one at a time. With Volume 2 less than 24 hours away from the premiere, burning questions will hopefully be answered in the final two episodes that touch just over four hours collectively.

Coming back to Vecna and his victims, there have been theories of Ms Kelly (Regina Ting Chen), Hawkins High's guidance counselor linked to the baddie. What if she was indeed working with Vecna. It does make sense considering that he knows who to target, and Max (Sadie Sink) was one of the teens who were taking counseling sessions. She was one of Vecna's targets making a miraculous escape. There have been some eagle-eyed observations and one of them was that Kelly wears a necklace shaped like a clock on a key. Is this one of the references to Vecna and the clock at Creel house.

With Vecna getting hold of Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer) in the final minutes of Volume 1, there is a possibility that she had visited Ms Kelly in one of the sessions. Nancy was involved in all of the incidents at Hawkins, mainly the death of Barb for which she still feels guilty. Only time will tell if she indeed works for the other side.

Regina surely didn't see this coming. In her interview with Hollywood Life, the actress was surprised that she was thrown into one of the theories. “It’s been such an overwhelming response. Every morning I get a text from a friend or family member saying, ‘Is this you? Have you read this?'” she said. She revealed that she had read some of the theories. “I wish I could disclose more, but we all just have to find out when the show is out."

She added, “I just know about my own storyline. I think that’s very strategic. I think it’s how they kind of keep everybody on edge.”

'Stranger Things' Season 4 Volume 2 premieres July 1 on Netflix. In the meantime, here's some must-read 'Stranger Things' Season 4 content to keep you updated with all the buzz that's going on.
