Episode 7 delivered one of the darkest moments in the entire It universe. The burning of the Black Spot wasn’t just brutal — it was emotionally crushing. Rich’s final sacrifice to save Marge left fans in tears, while Pennywise’s horrifying feast on Mr. Kersh proved yet again that evil never truly rests in Derry.

Just when it seemed like Pennywise would finally return to sleep, the destroyed meteor awakened him — and the episode ended with a terrifying cliffhanger as Will Hanlon was attacked while home alone. Fans were left stunned, desperate for answers, and counting every second until Episode 8.

Season 1 of It: Welcome to Derry has only eight episodes, making Episode 8 the official season finale. While HBO hasn’t confirmed Season 2 yet, director Andy Muschietti has already revealed a three-season plan, with the story moving backward in time to explore Pennywise’s origins in 1935 and even 1908.

With the 1965 timeline wrapping up, the finale is expected to connect major dots, reveal hidden truths, and possibly set up the terrifying future of the series.
