The love triangle between Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), and Steve (Joe Keery) might be one of the storylines explored in 'Stranger Things' Season 4 Volume 2. The previous volume showed moments that point to Steve and Nancy rekindling their relationship, especially with the long-distance romance between her and Jonathan seems to be fizzling out. The duo has been together since the first season of 'Stranger Things' and it all might get more interesting as the series draws to a close.

Last we saw, Steve and Nancy were trapped with Eddie (Joseph Quinn) and Robin (Maya Hawke) in the Upside Down. While the latter two did escape with the help of Dustin, Max and Lucas, Nancy gets pulled away into Vecna's trance as Steve watches helplessly. However, the latest trailer shows that she has been rescued and so is Steve, giving rise to the theory that they could reignite the lost spark.

Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Will (Noah Schnapp), and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), and the new face, Argyle (Eduardo Franco), enlist Suzie's help, who is now an expert hacker to break into the top-secret facility Eleven is being held captive. Despite the comic relief, their journey is the crux of the season finale with the trio all set to play a crucial role in the second volume. Suzie does decipher a bunch of codes and they will hope will lead them to Nevada to break their friend out. This storyline doesn't do much as far as the larger picture is concerned.

But should they all unite, it will be interesting to see how things pan out for Jonathan and Nancy who haven't seen each other since the battle of Starcourt Mall. The aftermath saw the Byers leave Hawkins. With Steve and Nancy on the verge of getting back together, Jonathan's entry just might complicate things. There's also the question of whether Steve may end up dying in volume 2. There's a lot to look forward to in the upcoming edition and the love triangle will surely be one of the focus points.
