When Nancy saw Steve's terrified face right before he was pulled into the dark waters of the lake, she saw Barb's terrified face too. She saw Barb's last moments written on Steve's features, she saw Barb's body pulled into the water by something unknown like Steve was. She didn't hesitate. This time she wasn't distracted, upstairs far away from her friend. This time her friend was right in front of her. This time she could save her friend. So she jumps in head first, hoping this time she's not too late.

Nancy’s Pictures with Barb

Also known as, “4 Reasons Nancy Wheeler Has Been An Absolute, Closeted Bisexual This Whole Time”

So she has four noticeable photos with Barb up on her bulletin bord in her room: kissing faces, same-outfits-but-in-color, a Halloween costume picture, and a printed strip taken in a photo booth.

Let’s start off with Kissing Faces. Listen, I’m not saying Nancy has a type, but I’m not not saying it-

The picture with Barb is up on her bulletin board in her room. It’s fun how both of her love interests friends have their eyes closed when she’s looking at them like this, huh?

In the same-outfit picture…well, Barb looks like—you could see Steve, right?

Except Nancy looks consistently happier with Barb than she ever did with Steve. Her hair is free and curlier, they’re goofing around in sunglasses, and she’s got a watch displayed (which has only ever otherwise been a motif with Mike and Will, really).

Listen, I’m not gonna hate you if you say something else—but there’s clues Nancy is bisexual. She’s not unhappy with Jonathan, like Mike is with El, but she’s not all that different than how she was with Barb, either.

And the Halloween picture. Oh, what foreshadowing.

Barb is dressed like a clown, but also a Vecna victim: arms pulled back, fingers jagged, undereye makeup drawn on like blood. Oops.

Nancy is a bunny—an animal which is consistently associated with both her, and Henry Creel. Hmm…?

And the last: the photo booth strip.

There’s two of the same pinned up, which means she owns two copies. Nancy’s being playful and hanging off Barb, and in 2 out of 3, Barb’s grinning like there’s nothing she’d rather be doing. Nancy in these pictures feels very authentic—like this is the girl who would dress up as an elf for her little brother’s D&D campaign, with the same kind flirty happiness that Mike and Nancy can both give off.

Anyway, thought these were interesting lmao. The Wheelers are probably all somehow queer, right?

Would she hear me if I called her name? Would she hold me if she knew my shame? There's always something different going on The path I walk's in the wrong direction There's always someone fucking hanging on Can anybody help me make it better? Your tears don't fall, they crash around me Her conscience calls the guilty to come home
