"The season has slowly but surely been building up to the "Augury," the bloody climax of It's feeding cycle, and the series' penultimate episode delivers that promise and more. Its first half takes place at the Black Spot, the makeshift nightclub built for the Black airmen at the nearby Army base. The strife and mistrust building up between Derry's Black community, who are secretly harboring the wrongly convicted Hank Grogan (Stephen Rider), and the town's all-white Old Guard reaches a fever pitch."
"Pennywise uses this massacre as cover for his final feeding: half of those present perish in the fire, but the carnivorous clown devours the rest. Once It retreats to his lair, Derry is set for peace for the next 27 years. Thanks to a last-minute twist, however, it seems like that peace will be hard-won. Welcome to Derry isn't content to give us a straightforward prequel to the events of It;"
