WELCOME TO DERRY’s Eerie Post-Credits Scene, Explained

The first season of Welcome to Derry ended with a shocking climax. A misguided military operation allowed Pennywise to unleash chaos throughout the town, forcing Lilly, Ronnie, and Marge to fight back. The finale was a mix of heartbreaking moments, fresh starts, and the apparent end of the events from 1962… but not quite. The show includes a scene after the credits that seems to disprove a popular theory about Lilly Bainbridge’s link to Beverly Marsh – or does it leave the possibility open?

Welcome to Derry‘s Post-Credits Scene Goes to 1988 and Features Beverly Marsh

The scene shifts to October 1988, 26 years later, signaling Pennywise’s return. We meet Ingrid, now an elderly woman, calmly painting when she hears screams. Investigating, she discovers that a woman named Elfrida Marsh has died by suicide, according to staff nearby.

Two of Elfrida’s family members are upset and crying. A man pushes a young woman aside, and she sees Ingrid standing there – it’s Beverly Marsh, the character we first met in the 2017 film IT. We previously learned that Beverly’s mother had passed away and her father, who is present at Juniper Hill, was abusive and blamed her for the tragedy. This scene after the credits gives us a deeper look into Beverly’s difficult past, expanding on her story from Welcome to Derry.

Ingrid gives Beverly a disturbing smile and claims that people in Derry don’t actually die. This is noteworthy because Mrs. Kersh, who Beverly faced in the movie Chapter Two, was a form of IT. This new connection between Ingrid and Mrs. Kersh offers a possible explanation for why IT chose that specific appearance when interacting with Beverly.

Lilly Bainbridge Is More Than Likely NOT Beverly Marsh’s Mom

What’s fascinating about this scene is that it seems to disprove the idea that Lilly Bainbridge would eventually become Beverly’s mother. If Lilly had been the one who died by suicide in that room, we likely would have seen a clearer connection – maybe her turtle bracelet or a mention of her full name, Elfrida Lillian Marsh. The lack of these details suggests she isn’t Beverly’s mother.

Given Lilly’s difficult past, it’s sadly believable she might have ended up in another abusive relationship and back at Juniper Hill, where she ultimately died. Over 26 years, people experience many changes – friendships can fade, and new traumas can occur. While it’s possible the woman who was hanged in the post-credits scene of Welcome to Derry isn’t Lilly, it seems improbable.

Welcome to Derry Could Introduce Us to a Character With Connections to Elfrida and Beverly

In the final episode, Pennywise revealed to Marge that he experiences time differently and actually tried to kill her to stop Richie from ever being born. This led Marge and Lilly to wonder if IT might travel further back in time to eliminate one of their ancestors and change the present. The show will explore this by revisiting events in Derry from 1935 and 1908.

The show might introduce a character connected to Elfrida and Beverly Marsh, possibly even a younger version of Elfrida. Given how carefully the showrunners connect different timelines, this scene likely has a deeper meaning than just being a small reference. Now, fans are eagerly awaiting news about a second season of Welcome to Derry.
