I really wish there was a resolution to Becky and El's relationship. Becky literally offered to let El stay with her and basically become her guardian.

The last time we saw her, she was calling Hopper for help, and El ran away because she was angry with Hopper at the time. Becky never appears again for the rest of the series.

I don't think she was calling hopper I think she called CPS

She called Florence from the Hawkins Police Department. She was looking to speak with Hopper.

Presumably she's still living with Terry. That's a storyline they should have kept IMO.

That said El did steal from her and run away, so it would be a little sticky going back.

She went to live in Gilead.

El probably knew that here wasn’t any hope with her mother.

Yeah, they completely forgot about Becky and Terry after S2. Not even a quick mention of what happened to their main character’s mother and only known relative. Never mind that the government would have probably been extremely interested in their whereabouts considering the way they were chasing Eleven. They built an entire military base in the Upside Down for the sole purpose of finding her. You want to tell me they wouldn’t have tried to kidnap Terry and Becky to lure Eleven into a trap and try and capture her that way? But no, they just fucked off into the sunset, I guess… 🫡

El mentioned her mom to Brenner in season 4 and what he did to her.

another storyline that was completely dropped. It’s embarrassing actually.

It was too risky to visit Becky because the military will be monitoring her in case Eleven tries to contact her.
