An American Tale

An American Tale

I was looking at this shot of Holly’s room and noticed this poster next to her bed:

(It is also notable that she has a violin)

Here are some interesting snippets from the plot of “An American Tale” that could potentially hint at her story this season (+ some familiar names and elements from ST)

Ok, but that frame with Nancy and Mike in the bts teaser video is giving me big Joyce/Buffy/Dawn vibes, so I'm thinking... Karen/Nancy[+Mike]/Holly? Am I insane for this? (Probably) ...And do I tend to push my Nancy is Buffy-coded agenda?? Yes, yes, I do. But, hear me out!!

[Speculation ahead/Possible spoilers for ST5]

I do think/hope this is a Nancy/Mike heart to heart scene. (God knows they need it and so do we as the audience.) HOWEVER. Nancy is looking slightly past Mike, which leads me to believe (along with all the leaks and stuff), that she could be looking at someone [Karen?] laying on a hospital bed, especially considering the lighting/background etc; it looks like they're inside a lab or hospital or smth. So idk, maybe Holly is in danger and Karen is hurt and shit finally hits the fan and the Wheelers finally have a moment of truth as a family/siblings and promise to be careful and take care of each other.

TL,DR: smth smth Karen be like: "...we need to protect her [Holly]". "...My sweet brave Nancy" smth smth *cue me crying my heart out and getting emotional over the Wheelers/Karen and her kids*

Plus Mike letting Nancy know that just because she's the oldest, it doesn't mean this is a burden that she needs to carry on her own. They're in it together, they could share the weight... ;_____;

i thought about el's look (since it's a pretty questionable fashion choice 🤣) and it seems like those red shorts over the tights are kinda inspired by superman's classic red trunks lol

Guys- I just realized

Are they at the table that Eddie and Chrissy sat at? Where Chrissy saw the clock in the tree..!?
