After the cliffhanger ending of It: Welcome to Derry Episode 6, many viewers are curious about the new clown, Periwinkle. Here’s a breakdown of who Periwinkle is and what happened to Hank Grogan at the episode’s conclusion.

What happens in It: Welcome to Derry Episode 6 ending?

The sixth episode of ‘It: Welcome to Derry’, called “In the Name of the Father,” left viewers with a shocking ending: a group displaying racist behavior arrived at the Black Spot searching for Hank Grogan. The episode also gave us a more detailed look at the character of Periwinkle the Clown.

Last time, Hank was wrongly convicted and headed to Shawshank Prison, but the transport bus crashed, allowing him to escape. He found refuge at the Black Spot, with Charlotte Hanlon providing assistance.

Things took a dark turn when Clint Bowers revealed where Hank was hiding to a group of prejudiced white residents. The episode concludes with these men approaching the Black Spot, carrying guns and wearing creepy Halloween masks. This frightening ending strongly suggests a violent event similar to the massacre at the Black Spot described in Stephen King’s original novel, “It.”

The racist crowd burned down the Black Spot, tragically killing nearly everyone inside. Luckily, Dick Hallorann used his psychic abilities to rescue Will Hanlon, who later became the father of Mike Hanlon – one of the founding members of the Loser’s Club.

Who is Periwinkle the Clown in It: Welcome to Derry?

Ingrid Kersh is secretly Periwinkle the Clown. In the sixth episode, it’s shown that Mrs. Kersh transforms into this second, unsettling clown who is also appearing in Derry.

In the previous installment, It: Chapter Two, we learned that Mrs. Kersh was the daughter of Bob Gray, the first Pennywise the Clown. This new series explores Ingrid’s motivations and explains why she dresses as Periwinkle.

We learn that Mrs. Kersh isn’t scared of Pennywise; she desperately wants to see her deceased father again. She thinks her father was the very first Pennywise and is still trapped inside the evil entity, and that he’ll return to life when he recognizes her as Periwinkle. The episode concludes with Ingrid Kersh preparing to confront Pennywise, dressed in her Periwinkle outfit.
