“In the Name of the Father”

This was another fantastic episode of IT: Welcome to Derry.

So much happened here.

• Leroy slapped Will when Will defied him and said he would never let his friends die.
• Ingrid is the daughter of Pennywise (The sequence in black and white flashback was as intense as we have had so far).
• Marge stood up to the popular girls.
• Marge and Rich had several cool moments.
• Rich played the drums at the Black Spot.
• What is up with that bartender serving liquor to Marge and Rich?
• Dick is having serious problems since coming out of the sewer.
• Hank and Ronnie are reunited at the Black Spot.
• Ronnie refuses to be with the others and try to go and kill Pennywise.
• The sheriff lost his job, but leads a armed group in masks to the Black Spot after Hank.
• The flashback to Mabel in 1935 was frightening.
• Charlotte tells Leroy she is taking Will out of Derry tomorrow, after helping Hank.
• Ingrid was dressed as a clown and was the person photographed and who Will saw outside his window.

There was so much going down and yet it felt like the show flew by. This is a sign of a beautifully paced show.

Pennywise is absolutely terrifying this episode and him eating poor little Mabel was just a horrendous thing.

Will is a real hero. He is so brave and not afraid to stand up to anyone, including his father.

I love, love, love Rich and Marge. Their scenes were so wonderful this episode. The changing of the dressing on her eye, her standing up to the popular girls, them drinking and Marge dancing to Rich’s drumming. Such a cool group of scenes. I hope they survive.
