Since 2017, Priah Ferguson has captured the hearts of Stranger Things fans with her portrayal of Erica, the feisty younger sister of Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin). So fans were concerned when Ferguson didn’t make an appearance in the first two episodes of the hit Netflix show’s fifth and final season.
Thankfully, Erica did finally make an appearance in the new season’s third episode. She is once again enlisted by her older brother and his friends to help defeat the series antagonist Vecna, who is bent on wiping out the human race – and she stole the scene, of course.
