Stranger Things: The heartbreaking detail you probably missed in season 2

Eagle-eyed viewers have noticed one small tidbit that is making fans rather emotional

By now, you've most likely finished the second season of Stranger Things which was unveiled on Netflix last month

While the nine-episode follow-up to the streaming service's hit series pleased the majority of fans, there was a pretty huge moving detail that the less keen-eyed viewers may have failed to pick up on.

The little tidbit, which has been pointed out by Reddit user keulenshwinger, is concerned with Chief Hopper (David Harbour).

Cast your minds back to the season 1 flashbacks in which he's shown with his daughter Sara who later went on to pass away.

In the first scene featuring Sara, we see her wearing a blue hairband which is later shown on Hopper's wrist as he reads his ailing daughter a story.

An earlier scene featured in the first season's fifth episode, which chronologically took place later in the show's timeline, shows hopper still wearing the hairband on his wrist in memory of Sara.

Fans were overwhelmed to notice that same hairband in the season 2 finale - only this time, instead of Hopper, it's on the wrist of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) who Hopper adopts as his own daughter in a previous episode.
