Just before the Finale, 'It: Welcome To Derry's episode 7 has shifted the whole narrative. Here is everything to know about it.
Just when viewers thought that they understood the reality behind the monster waiting beneath Derry, It: Welcome To Derry dropped the most shocking twist. The newly released episode 7 has not only unveiled Pennywise's twisted origins but also delivers one of the most emotionally charged confrontations of the show. Ahead of the finale, the curiosity and dread are at an all-time high among fans, especially after the creators have teased that the ending will be nothing less than devastating.
It: Welcome To Derry Episode 7, titled 'The Black Spot', opens in 1908, where we see the real Pennywise, the dancing clown, 'Bob Gray', performing for happy children. His joyful act is a complete contrast to what lies ahead. 'Bob' had a touching moment with his daughter, 'Ingrid,' before an ominous little boy approached him. Next, a scream in the distance attracts 'Bob' into the woods, where the child is revealed to be 'It'. 'It' is disguised, who murders him and adopts 'Pennywise' as its new, terrifying form. The scene confirms the theory that 'Pennywise' was never the original identity of a creature, rather a stolen face.
The most chilling scene of the episode comes when 'Ingrid' encounters 'Pennywise' decades later. She dresses herself as a clown, approaches the creature, hoping to feel a connection to her father. But instead, 'Pennywise' brutally murders her husband and taunts her with the horrifying truth. Revealing insights about her dad, 'Pennywise' shocks 'Ingrid' by saying:
"He still lives inside of me… reaching out for his baby girl."
On the other hand, Derry is in chaos as Locals burn down the Black Spot. A tragic confession from Rich to Marge moments before his death adds more to the show's emotional weight. In the end, 'Pennywise' is fully awake, surrounded by blood, and ready to kill more who comes in his way.
The cast and creators of It: Welcome to Derry shared some hints about the upcoming finale during a panel conversation at CCXP São Paulo. Among others. Chris Chalk, who plays 'Dick Hallorann,' described Episode 7 simply as "Devastation." Meanwhile, director, Andy Muschietti, who helmed the two IT films, agreed, saying the finale will bring "devastating deaths." Alongside, co-creator, Barbara Muschietti called it "heartbreaking".
It: Welcome to Derry is set decades before Stephen King's It. The HBO series expands on the mythology of Derry and its most infamous monster. The shoe developed by Andy and Barbara Muschietti with Jason Fuchs features an ensemble cast including stars Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, Madeleine Stowe, Rudy Mancuso, and Bill Skarsgård, who returns as Pennywise. All seven episodes of the show are now available on HBO and HBO Max. At the same time, the show's highly-awaited finale will air on December 14, 2025.
