The spin-off is set in winter 1985, a backdrop that showrunner Eric Robles, according to Daily Express - Showbiz, described as 'frozen in time'. The plot follows Daniel, Mrs Baxter's boyfriend, who created the Queen plant using his serum to reanimate a vine from the Upside Down. The Queen plant breaks loose upon spotting the serum, leading the gang, including newcomer Nikki, to confront Daniel.
During the confrontation, Daniel shatters one of his vials across himself, and the Queen swallows him whole. What happens after that, and how the ending connects to the main series, remains unclear.
