What to expect from Episode 5?
Episode five’s story will only be clear once it airs, but the ending of episode four suggests the show will now follow the characters into Derry’s dark woods through Neibolt Street a place linked to Pennywise. Earlier episodes revealed how an evil force called Galloo was released after a falling star split in Derry, and how the settlers’ mistakes helped it grow stronger. With the characters now heading toward the woods where this evil was last sensed, episode five is expected to explore that dangerous path and possibly bring Pennywise into the picture.
