IT Welcome to Derry Episode 2: The Scene That Broke Us

In IT: Welcome to Derry Episode 2, The Thing in the Dark, we break down the most shocking moments that had us speechless. From our deadlights theory to Lily's trauma, here's what the episode revealed about IT's true form and what's coming next in Derry.

TIMESTAMPS:

• The terrifying secret that we think Masters is hiding, and why we think he's a red herring.

• How police gaslighting affects Lily's mental state

•The racism embedded in Derry's institutions

•Hidden details you probably missed

• What Episode 3 might bring based on these clues

THE BREAKDOWN: Episode 2 introduces Operation Precept. General Shaw seems to know more than anyone about the nature of IT . But here's what matters: Pennywise / IT manipulates everyone. Lily got gaslit by police. Adults refused to believe her. This isn't just horror—it's about how systems fail vulnerable people. And IT feeds on that fear.

We recently had the honor of welcoming the incredibly versatile actor, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, to the show! Ntare joins us to discuss his compelling new role as Blessing Kamara in Dexter: Resurrection. As Dexter finds himself a fish out of water in the bustling streets of New York City, he encounters Blessing, a rideshare driver whose seemingly unwavering optimism and genuine kindness are a stark contrast to the dark world Dexter inhabits.

In our exclusive interview, Ntare delves into the challenges and joys of playing a character so full of light, and how Blessing's path intertwines with Dexter's tortured quest for redemption. We discuss the palpable tension of their on-screen dynamic and what might be next for Blessing.
