Stranger Things: This Tiny Detail About Chief Hopper Will Break You

In the season one finale, there's an apparent connection. While searching for Will in the Upside Down, Hopper flashes back to his moments with his late daughter, Sara. Even though we don't get this full backstory until the finale, we hear bits and pieces about how the Sheriff lost his little girl long before the events of the show take place. This turned Hopper into the slightly hopeless, kind of bitter, divorced man he is in episode one.

In the first flashback scene in the finale, Sara appears to have a panic attack, and you can spot her wearing hair ties of the same color. It's worth noting that Hopper isn't wearing his bracelet in this scene.
