The bad folks of Boulder are conspiring against them at the same time.
One of them, Nadine, is sleeping when Harold creeps in to chat.
And what dont they know about Flagg in general?
They represent the ancient push and pull of good and evil, neither giving an inch.
Collins has some honestly dangerous energy as opposed to whatever odd choices are being made by Wolff and Miller.
He apologizes to Flagg but notes that it was self-defense.
After Terry flips off Flagg and tries to flee, the devil chases him down the hall.
Uh oh, Tom, you should have run when you could.
She finds pipe bombs, too.
And suddenly Harold is behind her.
He blames Stu for being alone again, and claims hes going to fix it all.
Im gonna fix this whole world, Fran.
One blast of violence.
One pointed stroke of cruelty to set the world right.
Frannie almost talks him out of it but he flees, locking her in his evil lair.
Meanwhile, theres another brief chance to stop the carnage between Larry and Nadine.
Joe is going to be with the other kids, and safe during the vigil.
He whispers something to Larry: Nadine and Mommy Nadine are two different people.
Joe tries to stop Nadine too, but he cant.
Hes with the other kids when he hears Mother Abagails voice.
He goes to the woods and finds her, screaming to alert the grown-ups.
Nadine and Harold are set to watch the show from up the mountain as the vigil starts.
Sadly, Nick is already inside, crying.
Nick hesitates, almost as if he knows something is wrong.
He looks up as it goes off.

And everyone will have to wait until next week to assess the carnage.
Skarsgard really nails it, too.
I miss Sam Raimi.
He would have made a better Lloyd Henry, for sure.
Flagg tells Trashcan Man about something called Tsar Bomba, which is the largest nuclear bomb explosion in history.
Believe it or not, declassified footage of it wasrecently released.
Harold tells Nadine that the Chinese character for crisis includes the Chinese character for opportunity.
Hes wrong, but hesnot alone in being wrong.
The credit needle drops are getting a bit too blatant, right?
Nick probably doesnt think so.
