Welcome back, horror fans! In today’s episode, we’re diving into It: Welcome to Derry Episode 3, “Now You See It.” This chapter gives us two powerful storylines: a haunting 1908 flashback where young Francis Shaw meets an Indigenous girl named Rose and comes face-to-face with an early version of Pennywise, and a 1962 mystery where Lilly, Ronnie, and the kids develop their séance photos and uncover something they never expected — a blurry but chilling image of Pennywise the Clown.
