- Hey everyone, just a quick note this week. Syd and I both watched the show, but Syd is off on a mountain somewhere petting baby goats, so you still get my review this week and of what an episode it was!
- We’re introduced to ThorneHill, the creepiest home in Riverdale that is actually home to the Kool-Aid colored hair family, the Blossoms. Cheryl has a nightmare about being attacked by Jason’s corpse and wakes in his bed, something her mother wants her to stop doing. She also forbids Cheryl from giving the eulogy at the funeral.
Gothic Kool-Aid Cheryl! - One of the main storylines features Archie having to decide which aspect of a future career is more important to him, football, where is spot of captain is on the line, or his music. Valerie swoops in and gives Archie the number of big music agent(I honestly can’t remember what he does, but he was suppose to be uber important).
"I'm just gonna slip this inside your pocket, okay?" Val - Betty goes out on a fact finding mission date with Trevor (Val’s brother and one of Jason’s friends) where he tells her Jason changed before he left and soon after dating Polly. He sold all of his things, quit talking to his friends and rumors circulating that he may have been dealing drugs.
B was not impressed. - In the house across from her, Val, uncharacteristically helps Archie write out some of songs and seems a little too much into it. The next day, Archie again meets with Oscar who tells him his songs are juvenile and repetitive. LOL everyone is so supportive of Archie as a singer which is great, but I have yet to see anything that says so . . .
The way Val is looking at Archie . . . - It’s the day of Jason’s party memorial service
- Juggy picks B up from her house so they can go together.
- Luke Perry offers Hermoine the book keeping job at his business
- B plays along and learns that Polly and Jason were engaged and Aunt rose gave Polly the family ring.
- B confronts her father once again and learns that Cheryl’s great grandfather murdered her great father, all over a shared business that is now the Bloom family fortune.
*****Extra Tidbits*****
- Crazy Pants was conspicuously absent this episode where there was a lot of focus on B’s family.
- I can’t help but to feel Val’s role should have been Josie, who again was absent which makes little sense to me, since she also missed Jason’s memorial service and is suppose to be good friends with Cheryl.
- Archie’s music montage was just ridiculous and full of way too much body oil!
- I also dubb mama Blossom Crazy Pants II!
Questions:
- How did you like a PG (Post Grundy) Riverdale?
- Where were Crazy pants I, Josie and Joquin?
- Do you think Val was just being nice in helping Archie or do you think she developed a craving for some Kool-Aid?
- Is Archie a crappy music writer or too inexperienced with life to write good songs?
- Did anyone else think Mama Blossom seemed slightly jealous of Cheryl or was it just grief?
- Will actually get any clues into who the real killer is?
That’s all for this week. Until next week, stay #RiverdaleStrong!
