If you were hoping for a Barb resurrection or even Nancy's glorious revenge for her redheaded, bra-noticing bestie -- you've probably been eating too many Eggos, friend.

But even though Barb is gone, we're still sure her friends, family and neighbors will continue to dishonor her memory worse than not bothering to send a search party for her. It's best that we all get ready for another tragic, Barb-less season.

Rest in peace, Barb. You deserved better.

1. Barb is still dead.

Via Giphy

2. Barb is still somehow notqueen of the Upside Down.

Via Giphy

Seriously, though.

3. Still, no one questions Barbs disappearance and continue to chock it up to teen angst.

Via Giphy

Ugh. Teens.

4. Barb's parents don't get charged with child abandonment.

Via Giphy

Like, where are they?

5. There's one casual reference to Barb's parents moving out of town and then nothing ever again.

Via Giphy

No. Really. Where arethey?

6. Barb magically returns to normal life with no knowledge of the Upside-Down and everyone's memory of her disappearance is wiped.

Via Giphy

She is still treated like trash by her friends, of course.

7. Nancy gets a new redheaded best friend named Betty.

Via Giphy

We hate Betty.

8. Barb is kidnapped from the Upside-Down by Matthew Modine and becomes a superhuman assassin like Eleven.

Via Giphy

It's just tragic.

9. Nancy continues to make terrible decisions about men.

Via Giphy

Because she learned literally nothingfrom Barb’s death.

10. Nancy rocks Barb’s mom jeans and glasses and now everyone loves them.

Via Giphy

Life is a cruel joke.

11. She fights her way back to the upright world but gets killed.

Via Giphy

Again.

12. Barb becomes the demagorgon.

Via Giphy

It's not completelyout of the question.

13. We find out in the very last episode that Barb wasn't dead. She was just taking a very nice, relaxing nap in that weird slug wall thing.

Via Giphy

Way to jump to conclusions, Eleven.

14. The boys bring her back like nothing happened except now everyone calls her “Blarb."

Via Giphy

15. Barb is literally never mentioned again.

Via Giphy

Not even a commemorative plaque in the school cafeteria.

16. Nancy gets another new bra and no one is around to notice.

Via Giphy

If Nancy buys a bra and no one is around to notice, does it exist?

17. There is no funeral scene for Barb because Season 2 apparently starts a year later.

Via Giphy

Way to cheat Barb out of that one, too.

18. The hatched egg found in the last episode is actually a new and improved Barb monster.

Via Giphy

We find ourselves weirdly rooting for the monster to win. It doesn't. Barb never wins.
