‘It: Welcome to Derry’ Finds Its Losers Club: The Young Cast on Landing Their Roles and Their Fears of Pennywise

The episode features a major sewer confrontation where Matty reveals himself as Pennywise, military forces seek 13 pillars to control the creature, and a lockbox releases a trapped spirit.

  • In Episode 5, '29 Neibolt Street,' the children enter Derry's sewers to rescue Phil, where Matty Clements appears alive but then transforms into Pennywise, revealing a shapeshifting deception.
  • Amid the assault, General Francis Shaw outlines a plan tied to ancient objects, saying the Sqoteawapskot people carved 13 objects years ago to cage the creature and DOD operatives aim to reduce the cage at 29 Neibolt Street using memory work at Derry Air Force Base.
  • Armed with a fallen-star dagger, Taniel aids Lilly as the dagger thwarts Pennywise while soldiers face a monstrous Uncle Sam illusion that kills two and torments Dick Hallorann.
  • Amid sewer violence, surface law enforcement and transfers descend into disorder as Major Leroy Hanlon accidentally shoots Pauly, who dies, while Hank Grogan escapes and directs Ingrid to the Derry Air Force Base.
  • Set in 1962, the HBO Max series ties the opened box on the bathroom floor to the creature's discharge that has tainted Derry, Maine's groundwater since the town's founding.
