For such a funny, colorful season of Netflix’s hit show Stranger Things, Season 3 ended on a series of pretty massive bummers. All hope isn’t lost, though, as Stranger Things 3‘s ending also gave us some hints about where Season 4 might go.

Spoiler warning: Obviously, we’re discussing Stranger Things 3’s ending in this article. You’ve been warned.

Season 3 ended with a three-month time jump directly after the events of the Battle of Starcourt Mall, when the gang faced off directly against Billy and the giant Mind Flayer. Dr. Owens, who you may remember from Season 2, arrived just in time to contribute absolutely nothing, while at some point in the time jump, Mayor Kline was arrested, likely for taking bribes from the Russians. And Hawkins appears to have become somewhat infamous, thanks to the frequent deaths, government cover-ups, and generally nefarious goings-on that take place there.

All that said, Season 3’s ending left us with some big questions.

At long last, Stranger Things Season 3 has arrived on Netflix, taking us back to Hawkins to fight disgusting monsters from an alternate dimension yet again. This time out, Eleven, Mike, and the rest of the gang are fighting evil in the summer of 1985, leaving room for plenty of Easter eggs, references, and period-appropriate songs to be layered throughout each of the season’s eight episodes.

How many of them did you notice, though? We went through the season multiple times to catch as many shout outs to the 1980s as we could, and as it turns out, there are tons of them. From everything playing at the mall’s movie theater–and the stores at the mall, for that matter–to the shocking amount of New Coke the characters drink throughout the season, it’s impossible to catch every single little nod the Duffer Brothers have included this season.

We did our best, though, finding the best Easter eggs you’ll see in Stranger Things 3.

Be warned: There are spoilers ahead. If you haven’t watched Season 3, come back when you have.

That said, these are arranged by episode, so feel free to follow along with our gallery as you watch–we’ll be updating it as we go, as well, beginning with Chapter 1: Suzie, Do You Copy? And while you’re at it, check out GameSpot’s Stranger Things Season 3 review.
