Riverdale To Riverdale and Back Again

Key: Shane Lee is Blue Syd is pink

Welcome back to another exciting, drama packed episode! Some good things happened, some not so good things went down and Archie sang a song that didn't make everyone want to kill themselves, too bad it wasn't one of his own! Anyway, I am excited to dive in! Blue text on pics are my words and white is the show quotes!

If you blinked in those first few minutes, you missed a Josie sighting! 

Meanwhile, Archie and and his mom, Molly Ringwald played catch-up.

And Veronica still worried about her father's possible involvement in the Jason Blossom murder case

FP had a surprise for Juggy


Later that morning, when Archie got to school, he only had one thing on his mind

Veronica then got called into a Blue & Gold meeting with Betty and Alice

Meanwhile, up at Thornhill, Polly discovered a secret

Back at school, V held a secret meeting of her own with Alice and together they plotted

Then it was lunchtime, where Cheryl once again crashes the lunch bunch to make an announcement about her

And then you guys, the best thing ever happened: Archie learned how we all felt about his music

I loved every moment of that!!! V agreed to sing with Archie at the dance, promising they'd do upbeat covers because she really wanted Archie to help her investigate FP. But we all know how Archie thinks of "singing" together.


When Archie heard Juggy was considering moving back in with FP, he left in the middle of the night to find V.


Then it's the night of the dance and everyone was up to shannigans. Polly had a chats with Cheryl and Mrs. Blossom.


Alice threw her dinner party

And Archie and V searched FP's trailer but found nothing, so V decided to taste the Kool-Aid again

The night of the dance! And this awkward trio walked in.
And Josie and the Pussycats were no where to be seen. Also, Archie and V arrived right before their number and Betty spotted them not so discreetly talking to Alice. Then they sang a cover of Kids In America. And I am not sure what the crowd though they were doing with their cell phones.


How did Archie and V do? Let's gauge some crowd reactions to see:

For once, I totes feel just like Cheryl, lol. It wasn't bad but meh.
Anyway, during the song, FP's place was searched by police and he was like IDC you won't find anything and then they did and arrested him.

Archie and V confessed to Betty what they did.

And then Juggy learned that FP was arrested for Jason's murder and blamed the wrong person.

After the dance, Molly made her pitch to why Archie should come live with her.

But I don't think he was feeling it. Then, we ended with this little bombshell

Next week, the killer is revealed!!!! Until then, stay #RiverdaleStrong









We're getting closer. Who killed Jason Blossom? Every citizen of Riverdale has been conducting their own investigations since the cops in this town don't really seem to work. Polly is still her little snooping thing, while Alice, Betty, and now Veronica are exploring their leads. Alice was on FP's case last night and she seemed pretty convinced of his guilt. I don't really know what she was going on, other than his connection to V's dad, but she was, and still is, sure he had something to do with Jason's murder. 


So, to recap, Veronica's dad is in jail because of the Blossoms. Archie overheard daddy Blossom talking about it to mommy Blossom a few episodes ago when they tried to adopt him. And then he told Betty and her mom, and then everyone else found out. That was inevitable. If Alice knows something, everyone knows that something. So, Veronica started suspecting her dad and now she's determined to discover his involvement, if any, in this case so she knows whether to trust her dad again. So when Alice summoned Betty and Veronica last night to discuss questioning FP, Veronica was eager to do it. She knows that her dad paid FP to trash the drive-in, so she thinks if FP is the murderer it's because he was paid to do it...by her dad. A revenge on the Blossoms. 

Daddy Blossom takes revenge on himself daily by wearing these wigs.
Betty wants nothing to do with probing her boyfriend's dad since she already asked Juggy how he feels about his dad's innocence. He believed him when he said he wasn't a killer and so Betty trusts Jughead's judgement. But Veronica isn't loyal to Jug so she let's Alice know she's ready to discover the truth. Alice already has a plan. 

Alice invites Jug and FP over to her house for a Homecoming meal to distract FP and get him away from his trailer so Veronica (joined by Archie because she wants him to be there AND because he starts to suspect FP too, so he wants to join) can then sneak in and look for evidence against him. Betty isn't wise to this part of the plan, but she does start to regret dinner as the night goes on. 


And Jughead doesn't seem to be enjoying himself either.



Alice starts to grill FP about his serpent status and his connection to Hiram Lodge. Thankfully, before things got too awkward, Hal showed up! 

And it wasn't uncomfortable at all. It totally was. But it was fantastic! FP turned the table on Alice and started recalling a story from the year Alice and Hal were king and queen of homecoming hell. He purposefully reveals that Hal and Alice were arguing about something that night, but doesn't tell what it was about, then gets cut off by Alice before finishing his story. But it all leads to Hal and Alice bickering about Alice "redecorating" Hal's office. 


And then Alice threatens to throw bricks at Hal and it was just wonderful. I really like it when they fight. I hope they are both back next season and I hope they still have marital issues because I enjoy their misery way too much. I feel bad for Betty, though, because I don't think she is entertained by it. She quickly jumps up and suggests they head off to the dance so they don't have to be there to listen to the threats passed between Hal and Alice. 

Homecoming is apparently a big deal in Riverdale so everyone that lives there was at this dance. Archie and Veronica were the big performers of the night presenting their version of  "Kids in America" and the crowd really seemed to enjoy it. 




Well, most people liked it. Betty was steal processing information. Just before the couple went on Betty found out they broke into FP's trailer and snooped around. I don't really know what Cheryl's deal was. Does she still like Archie? Is she jealous or something? I don't know. But Jughead finds out about what V and Arch did too. He gets mad. He gets really mad, and he seems to be especially mad at Betty. Boo! I don't like it when he gets mad at Betty, especially when she does nothing wrong, which is, like, never. But it doesn't matter because it turns out Archie and Veronica snooping was probably a good thing. 

The police get a tip to search FP's trailer. It's still unclear who gave the tip, but they got it and they searched the property to find a box in the closet that has the murder weapon in it. FP was arrested for the murder of Jason. But Veronica and Archie inform Betty that when they searched the trailer that box wasn't in that closet, or in the trailer at all. So now they know that FP is being framed! DUN DUN DUNNNN! 

What will happen next week? Who will the killer be? Will Bughead survive? Will Polly keep taking poison from mommy Blossom? The majority of these questions should be answered next week! Can't wait!
