What to expect from Stranger Things 5 Volume 2 ?

The first volume of Stranger Things 5 Volume 1 ended on a surprising note, even though the problems largely remain unresolved. With rifts opened all across Hawkins, things are much more dangerous than before for Eleven and her friends this season.
There are several aspects that are left to be explored in the next volume of the series. Steve, Jonathan, Nancy, and Dustin have entered the Upside Down. How they will navigate through the alternate dimension and help in saving Holly is something volume 2 may touch upon.
Eleven finding Kali in Dr. Kay's lab was also one of the biggest reveals in the first volume. Her connection to the entire situation remains unknown, with volume 2 expected to address the mystery behind it. Max and Holly's escape from the Camazotz and the mystery behind why Vecna couldn't enter the caves are yet to be explored in detail as well.
Vecna also managed to take his next set of children to the Upside Down, just like he took Holly. The team's next plan to handle this situation may be picked in the next volume. One of the most striking moments from volume 1 was about Will gaining powers in the final moments of volume 1. His new strength may bring striking moments in the next episodes.
Finally, the team's main plan to kill Vecna may also be given more focus in the upcoming episode. It is awaited to witness how the story will progress ahead and what the fate of the beloved characters from the series will be.
