5 Stranger Things Scenes You Didn't Expect to Make You Bawl

Stranger Things fans know that the show has its fair share of emotional moments, but there are some scenes that just hit us right in the feels when we least expect it.

Jonathan Comforting Wil

After Jonathan saw Will sobbing in the back of a van after expressing his feelings to Mike, he reassures Will of his unconditional love, subtly acknowledging Will's implied sexuality​​. This moment occurs in the episode The Piggyback of season 4​​, in the Surfer Boy Pizza kitchen scene.

Joyce's Heartbreak

Bob Newby, Joyce’s boyfriend, represented a sense of normalcy to her amidst the supernatural occurrences in Hawkins​​. They shared a romantic moment dancing together in season 2, hinting at a life beyond Hawkins​​.

However, tragedy strikes when Bob is killed by demodogs at Hawkins Lab, leaving Joyce to grieve his loss, especially since his association with her led to his demise.

Billy's Past

The exploration of Billy's past, particularly the abusive relationship with his father, adds background to his character and explains some of his actions.

His emotional conversation with Eleven about his memories of his mother adds to the poignancy, especially as it unfolds shortly before his tragic end. Some fans believe that Billy died too soon, and he could have changed.

Mike and Hopper's Reunion

Mike and Hopper might not be the first duo that comes to mind when you think of emotional moments, but their reunion and hug in season 4 is a tearful reminder of their unique bond. It's a callback to that intense scene in season 2 where Hopper tries to comfort a grieving Mike.

Joyce Hugging El

In season 1, during a scene where Eleven is in a pool attempting to locate Will, Joyce notices Eleven's bleeding nose and rushes to her aid.

The tender moment where Joyce hugs Eleven showed the latter's desperate need for love and acceptance, which stands out against her otherwise harsh and lonely personality up to that point.
