  Summary

  After the rain fight, Will runs to Castle Byers, reminiscing as he looks through his old things. He comes across the comic he had been working on (It) and realizes the character he created unconsciously resembles Mike. Overwhelmed, Will decides to destroy Castle Byers, but in the process, he is pulled into another dimension. He wakes up in Derry, Maine, an alternate universe shaped by the world he unknowingly created.
