Hop in the Forrest at the end....


What was that about? Looked like he was leaving out the sort of junk food Eleven liked throughout the series... What are we to read into that

Pretty much what you have read into it. When they were writing season one they weren't sure if they'd get a second series, it's been revealed recently that they did find out before going to air but even so they had to write most of the season as a single entity.

The plot rounded off but they had to leave the possibility that Eleven was still around, it's ambiguous, Hop looked like he was leaving it for Eleven, it was a month on so he may know something, it was also Christmas eve and he did kinda rat Eleven out so he has mega guilt - maybe that's his motivation. We can't be sure but ...

This bit does have a season two spoiler (might upset some if you want everything season two a surprise).

At the NY Comic Con David (Hop) and Millie (Eleven) were on a panel being interviewed. Millie said how much she loved Vampire Diaries, David's response was "Oh my god, you love Vampire Diaries? I didn't know that, you know I'm buddies with Paul right?"

Millie looked genuinely shocked "No!"

David "Yeah, he's going to be in Atlanta when we're shooting."

At that point David realises he said "We're shooting" and turns to the audience "Uh Oh!"

Millie covers her face for a second then theatrically say's "IF I'm in Atlanta!" with a great big wink.

That video jumps a bit but it's the best audio from the con. BIG WARNING - if you watch that video from the start with headphones or in an office the start is VERY LOUD - be warned.

There's a later part where they talk about both getting a copy of the season two script, so, you know she's going to be in it in some form.

I just binge watched last night. I saw that as he knows el still exists ( possibly due to info he was given when he was taken away in the black car) and that box in the woods is a portal to wherever ( upside down, the lab???) It can't be just some random box in the woods. Or. She is out there somewhere and he leaves her food. She can't make herself known to avoid getting caught and so the boys aren't endangered. Either way he went to that spot knowing the box was there. Can't be random
