15 Small Details You Only Notice Rewatching Stranger Things
11. Mrs. Wheeler's Reading
The apparent chemistry between Mrs. Wheeler and Billy Hargrove in the second season was a little divisive to say the least, but it was clear that Mike and Nancy's mother had a thing for the hot-headed young man.
You might remember that as she sat in her bath towards the season's conclusion, she read the novel Heart of Thunder by Johanna Lindsey. What you might not have noticed, however, is the fact that the cover has been photoshopped so that the hunky god-like man cradling the beautiful heroine looks suspiciously like Billy (fabulous mullet and all).
In the third season, she read another Johanna Lindsey novel by the pool - this time it was Tender Is The Storm - and, yup, Billy has also been photoshopped onto the cover.
Stranger Things is masterful when it comes to little subtextual quirks like this and this said more about how much Mrs. Wheeler wanted Billy than all of those lustful looks between them.
