The concept of Jonathan getting Will back, but still mourning a younger sibling in the end.

The concept of the Hopper-Byers family never getting to live all together under one roof.

The concept of Hopper seeing Will huddled asleep in Jane's old room one night and just seeing Jane for a second.

The concept of Jonathan making a film about overcoming abuse and dedicating it to Jane.
