IT: WELCOME TO DERRY EPISODE 6 REACTION!! 1x06 Breakdown & Review #itwelcometoderry #pennywise #max - Welcome to Derry episode 6, titled "In the Name of the Father," dives deep into the backstory of Mrs. Kersh and ends on a major cliffhanger as a racist mob descends upon the Black Spot juke joint. Major Revelations and Plot Points Ingrid Kersh's Secret: The episode's central revelation is that the woman known as Mrs. Kersh (Ingrid) is the daughter of Bob Gray, the human performer whose "Pennywise the Dancing Clown" persona was co-opted by the entity "It". In flashbacks to 1935, it's revealed that Ingrid, consumed by grief and the delusional hope of reuniting with her missing father, inadvertently (or perhaps deliberately) lured other children to Pennywise's lair, effectively sacrificing them. Periwinkle Revealed: Lilly, feeling isolated from the group after her traumatic experience in the sewers, seeks comfort from Ingrid and discovers an old photo album and clown costumes in the attic, realizing Ingrid is the "Periwinkle" figure who has been haunting them. When confronted, Ingrid confesses her warped belief that the children's encounters with "It" could free her father, an idea Pennywise manipulated to gain victims. Lilly escapes after slashing Ingrid with the meteor shard weapon. The Kids' Alliance Fractures: The group of children (Ronnie, Will, Rich, and Marge) is dealing with the fallout of the sewer incident. Ronnie and Lilly have a bitter argument, with Ronnie blaming Lilly for the group's danger while Lilly focuses on using the meteor shard to fight back. Will, Rich, and Marge try to rally together, with sweet moments of young romance providing a brief respite from the horror. Dick Hallorann's "Shine" Opens Up: Dick Hallorann returns to the air base a broken man, seeing dead soldiers everywhere. He tells Leroy Hanlon about his psychic ability (his "shine") and how Pennywise "opened the box" in his mind where he kept his visions locked away. Dick is reluctant to get involved further, even with Hank Grogan hiding nearby. Hank Grogan and the Black Spot Cliffhanger: Hank, who escaped transport to Shawshank after the theater incident, is hiding in the storage room of the Black Spot, the juke joint run by Black airmen. Charlotte, who is planning to leave Derry with Will, hid him there. A disgraced former Police Chief, Clint Bowers, receives an anonymous tip (presumably from Ingrid) about Hank's location and rallies a racist mob to attack the Black Spot. The episode ends on a tense cliffhanger as the armed white mob surrounds the building where the characters are enjoying a moment of joy, poised for the horrific violence that will become a historical tragedy in Derry's lore.
