## Plot

*In the Summer of '89, the Fellowship of Dewberry fought at the Battle of Neverland and swore a blood oath to return to their home to finish what they had started. Twenty-three years later, in 2012, the Fellowship reunited to stop their foe once and for all, discovering the remarkable powers of the young Jacob Hamilton. In the process, the Fellowship reconnected and could finally live their lives in peace.*

*However, time has changed.*

*During the Thanksgiving holiday of 1989, the Fellowship came back together. While this reunion ended peacefully, this time its different: a face from the future has turned up in 1980s Dewberry, bringing words of impending doom. With their future lives ripped away from them, the Fellowship, joined by some new faces, are once again forced to face old and new threats, all for the sake of the future they deserve. In the process, new bonds will be formed and old ones renewed, in a holiday season that will change the Fellowship, and their friendship, forever.*

*Old faces, old times, new threats. Welcome back to 1989.*

## Trivia

* This is the second season of the "Adulthood Trilogy". Like *Season 4* and *Season 6*, it has been retconned as non-canon.
* This season was released alongside the first season of *Montauk*, which also uses time travel as a plot device.
* The following changes have been made to the main credits:
	+ Arthur MacNamera has been added to "Also Starring" for his first appearance as a main character.
	+ Lorenzo MacNamera has been added to "Co-Starring" for his first appearance as a recurring character.
* This season is set before *Season 4*, several months after the end of *Season 3*.
	+ This means *Season 3* and *Season 5* are the only two seasons to be set in the same year, that being 1989.
* A musical themed episode is in the works to debut this season, titled "Teenage Wasteland".
* EDStudios has stated that the Fellowship's powers would work "differently" in this season. The full extent of this was revealed on New Years 2020: while the Fellowship's powers would be more intense, each will now suffer side effects. Ellie is the only exception.
	+ Max's fire now physically pains him to use, burning down to his bones whenever he activates them. These injuries heal once he deactives his powers.
	+ James will suffer severe burns and ticks when he uses his powers. Like Max, these burns heal when he deactivates his powers.
	+ Brooklyn feels the pain of the death of plants and animals all over the world. This makes her more vulnerable to the Dark Lord, but her connection to Michael more intimate.
	+ MJ's powers were not enhanced as he was already dead by the timeline change. However, he develops new powers on his own after a car crash, including his "trauma sense".
	+ Michael's scream now completely shatters his vocal cords.
* Despite this season taking place in 1989, thirteen years before his birth, Jacob appears in this season.
	+ This is due to Jacob travelling back in time to November 1989.
	+ The divergent timeline caused by Jacob's actions is called New 1989.
* MJ was given some more focus in this season, as an "apology" for his death in *Season 4*.
* MJ and Max's outfits are near identical in this season, consisting of black trousers, boots and leather jackets. This is in contrast to their very different attitudes and personalities, especially in this season.
* The Leshers play a part in this story, having been adsent from the series since *Season 3*.
* This season introduces the concept of "triplicate timelines", in that each reality consists of three timelines.
* This is the last season to be set in the 1980s, as *Season 6* will take place in 1990.
