NEW YORK — Round one of Hollywood Week ended with a standing ovation and a curveball. The judges threw the curveball by announcing they would be pairing contestants for the Duets round (usually they pair-up on their own) on Monday night.

Things are accelerating now. For starters, if it wasn’t clear already, every member of the Emory family in Them has an entity attached to them. In Henry’s case, it’s “Da Tap Dance Man,” a minstrel-show Pennywise who echoes Henry’s hysterical laughter at the TV when he returns home from work after getting demoted for successfully impressing his boss’s boss. With unreadable eyes and a face glistening and dripping with the beer he swipes from Henry’s hand, this monster-man encourages Henry to do something about his professional misfortune.
