"So, Chief Hopper's daughter is some psychic girl?" Billy asked. "Yeah," Max said. "Her real name is Jane," Mike said. They were at Mike's house. Hanlon and his friends had decided to stay at hotels.

Billy saw Mike's mom. "Hi, Karen," Billy said in a flirty tone. "Oh God," Mike said in disgust. "What are you doing here?" Karen asked. "Oh, I came here to drop off Max," Billy said.

"I'll be going now. My stepmom and dad are waiting for me," Max said. "OK, bye," Karen said. "Bye, Karen" Billy replied. "We'll continue this conversation tomorrow after school," Billy whispered to Max and her friends, "Meet me at the parking lot after your last class."

Then, Billy left. "I got to go. I bet my parents are worried about me," Dustin said. "Same," Lucas and Will said. "Me too," Max said. Then, Mike's friends left.

Karen came back to the living room. "Where did your friends go?" Karen asked. "Their parents called, and they had to go home," Mike replied.

Will was standing in front of the door, worrying about what his mom might say. Will grabbed his house key from his pocket and used it to open the door.

To his surprise, Will's mom wasn't home. Will found a note on the refrigerator. "Sorry, sweetie, I had to go to work," the note read.

Will sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. Will looked at the TV in confusion. There was a group of kids in a circus with a red-haired clown.

Will grabbed the remote and changed the channel. The same show was on. Will changed the channel again. It was the same show. Will kept on changing channels until he felt like his arm was going to fall off, but it was the same show on every channel.

Will realized that Pennywise the Clown was on the television. Will clicked the power button on the remote and turned around. Will heard the click of the TV and turned around and saw the clown in front of the screen. This startled Will, and he jumped in surprise.

"Got you, Will!" the clown exclaimed. In shock, Will pressed the power button again, but nothing happened. Will tried again, and nothing happened. Will tried a third time, and the power button fell off of the remote. Blood flowed out of the hole where the power button used to be. Will screamed and threw the remote across the room.

Will tried to run away, but he was grabbed by something. Will turned around and saw the clown in front of him. Muffled screaming came out of Will's mouth as the clown pulled him into the TV. Will found himself in the circus. The clown let go of him. He saw his living room on a screen. He ran into the screen, hoping to get back into his house.

Instead, Will banged his head on the screen and passed out. Before he passed out, he heard the clown say, "You'll float too."

At that moment, Will's mom came home and saw Will in the TV. She saw that Will was passed out in a circus. There were a clown and a group of kids with him.

"Will!" Joyce exclaimed, hoping that her son would hear her. Will didn't respond. Joyce put her hand on the TV, hoping that it would reach the other side so that she could pull Will out of the TV.

Joyce's hand touched only the glass of the TV. Suddenly, the TV turned off, ruining any chance of Joyce bringing Will back.

Joyce turned the TV back on, but the channel that she saw Will in was now showing a grocery store commercial instead of a circus.

Joyce went to the wall phone and called Hopper. "Hopper, Will's gone missing," Joyce said. There was a pause. "When did you last see him?" Hopper asked. "Just now. I came home from work, and he was in the TV. He was in this circus with a clown. He was unconscious, and then the TV turned off. I turned it back on, but it was showing a commercial," Joyce said.

Mike was at home, watching TV, holding a silver knife in case It tried to attack him. His television suddenly switched to a channel. This channel showed a circus. Mike saw Pennywise there with a group of kids.

Mike looked closely and saw Will tied up. "Will!" Mike exclaimed. "Let him go!" Mike exclaimed to the clown.

"What if I don't?" the clown asked. 'You see this knife?" Mike asked. "This is silver."

"That doesn't work anymore!" Pennywise exclaimed. "Well, then I guess you wouldn't mind if I bring this knife to your circus," Mike said.

"Don't! Don't! Here, take him," the clown said. It untied Will and let him go. Will ran to the screen and ran out of the TV.

The TV suddenly switched to a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial. "Will, are you okay?" Mike asked.

"Besides a minor head injury, I'm fine," Will said. "What happened?" Mike asked. Will explained how It had pulled him into the television.
