For context, Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown, is believed to have died to get rid of the Upside Down permanently. But at the end of the episode, Mike (Finn Wolfhard) shares his theory about how El might have survived after all. He says he believes in that theory and the rest of the group tearfully says they believe, too.
In real life, fans are torn over the ending and whether or not they think Mike’s theory is just a coping mechanism or if Eleven really is alive somewhere.
“I think she’s dead, I don’t know,” Sadie said on The Tonight Show.
The audience gasped in response, but Jimmy Fallon agreed with her.
“I think that Mike’s story is just one last story. Then they say goodbye to childhood, but that’s just one final tale. That’s it,” she explained. “I think it’s just like a coping thing. I think it’s stronger, right? Yeah.”
Jimmy continued to echo Sadie‘s sentiments throughout the conversation, but he does say that it’s ultimately up to interpretation.
“Well that’s my interpretation,” the John Proctor Must Die star concluded.
