What will happen in Episode 8 of It: Welcome to Derry?
Did you find Episode 7 extremely intense? Well, let us tell you it was only the prelude to what’s coming in the final chapter, so you’d better be prepared. In the previous episode, we witnessed the fire at “The Black Spot” and the massacre caused by It, as well as the devastating death of Richie, who died a hero while protecting Marge (we’re still not over it). After these events, Pennywise finishes feeding and announces the start of his 27-year slumber, leading everyone to believe they are finally safe.
However, when the military begins destroying one of the crystals that keeps It imprisoned in Derry, Pennywise awakens and resurfaces, attacking Will.
Episode 8—the season finale—will pick up from what happened to Will, who is now missing. Dick Halloran will also regain prominence, and he is expected to play a crucial role in the battle against Pennywise, joined by the Hanlons, Rose, Dick, and the rest of the children.
