A strange thing for a young man to say indeed...(No not "Tobacco Kills!" That's the advisory, the "The children seem drawn to you" thing.)
And that is because as anyone with half a brain cell can tell, that is no young man, that is the entity that will soon face the losers club in a mind to mind battle.
This episode basically begins with a flash back explaining who exactly the real Pennywise the Dancing clown was and more importantly who Perrywinkle was.

But while all of this is cool and all, it doesn't really tell us too much we don't already know, it only gives us an insight into why the Entity choose Pennywise as it's preferred form, and it shows the deep connection Ingrid and Her dad had.
As anyone would have predicted, the Augury happens in this episode, with the racist assholes trying to find and kill Hank and in the process putting so many other people in danger.
Ironically, it is probably Hank's attempt to prevent blood-shed that led to all the Carnage, the people there had guns and were trained, without Hank's presence, they probably would have left for fear of drawing attention before they find their Target.
Once they do, all bets are off right?
It is really heartbreaking that the only known person we see die is a child.
A child who shouldn't even be involved in all of this, all he wanted was to make friends, and save his fair Maiden...
And right when he had it all...

Did... did IT just give us the modern day Titanic...? And that too between two kids...
You made me cry for young love...
The Kind I know will probably never last...
And it's over before it ever had a chance to begin...
WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!??
YOU ARE PAYING FOR MY THERAPY HBO!!!!
And of course there is the parallel of this happening in fire and Titanic happened in water, there they were adults who could see how shit the world was and wanted to escape into their personal fantasy, here they are kids who have had their innocence stripped too early and had the courage to fight anyways...
I will never forgive you welcome to Derry...

True to form though, this episode is all about Facing your fears head on, for example, let's talk about Ingrid.
Ingrid lost her father at a very young age just like Lilly Bainbridge, and so she was able to create a very strong bond with her over at Juniper Hill, however, she has been living in deep denial ever since she saw the entity take the form of her Father.
Back then she had the responsibility of another small child who had lost her father just like her, but instead of doing that she got in her own head and continued to be so until this episode..
She does it to such an extent that she deliberately sends a tip on Hank's location to known Racists so that she can make this horrific event occur.
Keep in mind, Hank is a man she claims to love and knows is wrongfully convicted, but so alluring is the pull of the entity...

The Entity planned this brilliantly, and was able to get what he wanted.
Today he feasted.
And he is a god of sass.

And While Ingrid is knocked to her senses when she sees the Entity for what it Truly is, there is someone else who has to do the one thing he swore to never do.
In order to save the children and everyone else, there is only one think Dick Halloran can ever do, the living are restricted in such a situation, but the dead aren't, and hence they can better see where everyone is and how to save them if at all.
Dick must speak to the Dead...
And so he starts seeing things...

But even though it all went to shit, even though there were so many Deaths, at the end of it all, Hank is able to walk free cause the world thinks he is dead, the kids are mostly okay, (I mean one death is way better than anyone would have predicted no?)
And now that the Augury is over, the entity will leave Derry in peace for 28 years?
And it is often true that in the immediate aftermath of such a horrific event people actually calm down.
And it is a strange Irony that it is this very thought that makes it so everything goes to shit.

Truly Shaw, I always did think that the Entity's madness got to you, but this time you confirmed it, I mean sure, a common enemy or a common mourning event does bring people together, but it also... kills people?
My god Shaw wtf?
And now because you burned the fucking pillar, thanks to you Will is dead.

One does wonder though, is the pillar so easily destroyed?
And if so, why is the entity still confined to Derry even in the future during the two IT films?
Who knows, maybe it liked the trees?
Oh no its the racism and homophobia isn't it, shit of course.
