Riverdale came and packed with fun, new mysteries and exciting plot twists. THe FBI are after the worst parents ever, there’s a new Cooper in town what exactly are the real reasons that Southside High closed? Let’s dive in?
- Remember how in the first season Alice wanted Southside High shut down? Well that happened thanks to Mayor McCoy (and of course the Lodges in secret) and all of our favorite Serpents were sent to Riverdale High.
- V leads the welcoming committee, in part to help further her parent’s plans along, but I’d also like to think she’s also a good person too.
- Some people, mainly Cheryl and Reggie, have major issues with this because . . . Serpents are bad! Fierce Cheryl is my favorite Cheryl and she is all sorts of fierce when she wants to keep her North side separate from the south side.
- Reggie later obviously vandalizes the school and blames it on the Serpents which prompts Principle Oblivious to ban all Serpent related clothes.
- Toni is totally cool about the dress code change and I love that about her!
- Reggie, as Juggy rebelled by wearing his jacket, started a shoving fight where Principle oblivious gave Juggy a choice: Suspension or remove his jacket. Juggy was going to take suspension until FP talked some sense into him.
- So, Juggy started a new club, Serpents and Swords, that totally has nothing to do with the being a Southside Serpent and is totally a role playing club . . .
- What did the other half of #Bughead do all this time? She found her long lost brother in record time, even for Riverdale!
- Charles Smith, aka Chic Cooper was never adopted and only lives two towns over. He works as fantasy fulfillment.
- Oh-And Hal totally wanted nothing to do with him but Alice totally does. I’m still hoping for a Alice & FP pairing, so Chic should be the favorite child because come on, he’s totally their love child . . .
- Anyway, B saves Chic from a thug who stabbed him in the shoulder and takes him to the nearest hospital back home to her parents, where Hal pulls all of the resources to save him.
- FInally, our favorite Kool-Aid colored hair guy was approached by the FBI who want to take the Lodges down! I’m all for this story but the FBI needing Archie’s help is a littlle LOL. I mean they couldn’t plant a guy of their own . . .
- Anyway, Archie’s first assignment is to find out what really happened to Nick St. Claire. So Archikens does what anyone do; he totally nonchalantly asks.
- When Cheryl blackmails Archie to join the side of the Northside vs Southside, she accidentally tells him Nick assaulted V, which sends Archie into a rage up to see Nick.
- Archie decides to to help get money for Cheryl too and visits Nick.
- He gets the check for double the money and then for about one minute inquires what really happened to Nick. When the douche is a douche, Archie beats him up.
- V confronts Archie about beating Nick up, to which Cheryl saves the day by confessing that she sent him to get her hush money check back, because Cheryl is a good friend.
- Later, at Pop’s Archie tells V that he kissed B and while she wasn’t happy, they talked it out and she accepted his apology. #Maturity
- Cheryl gives the check to her mom the check in hopes that she quit her . . .night job of being a Riverdale escort, but her mom was like LOL no!
- Archie decides to work with the FBI if V and Fred are granted immunity, but then Archie and I agreed on something for the like the first time ever! He confided into the FBI that he believes they may not have got the right guy as the Blackhood!
- So who is creepy enough to have a dark obsession with B and be the real Blackhood? I mean is there anyone creepy in town that fits this description? Anyone . . .
*****Extra tidbits*****
- Anyone else get a flashback to the Boonedocks, circa season one when Cheryl’s mom was all like
- That mini heart attack when Archie grabs his guitar and says he wants to start a band . . .
- Is the whiteworm really so bad if it has cool arcade games?
- I’m not going to lie, when Chic first called himself Chic, I thought I heard Chank lol.
- Hal was mad and concerned this week: can you tell?
- Josie is still a solo act and Kevin was . . . there . . .
The first half of season two was deliciously dark and i loved it. The second half is jammed packed with mysteries and secrets are coming out left in right. I can’t for the next one. Until next week, stay #RiverdaleStrong!
Well, Riverdale is back. Raise your hand if you've missed having this scandalous teen drama in your life... *raises both hands*
There were so many things going on in this episode. Veronica has been engaged with Lodge Industries pretty heavily lately, so we have the pleasure of seeing a very confident and leadership driven Ronnie. Archie has somehow managed to be recruited by the FBI. Betty is on another mission to make someone else happy. Let me start there.
Betty's expeditions might be super annoying if she weren't always going on them to please other people. She has the best heart. She wants everyone around her to be happy and I think she forgets to just do for herself. So when Polly crept into the family home to gather her belongings so she could sneak back to her new born Blossoms (she told no one she had them), Betty knew their mother would be crushed. Alice is really excited about the new babies, so to take her mind away from Polly, Betty decides to find her long lost brother because that will somehow make Polly's absence more bearable? Just replace Polly with the son and all is good, is what Betty must have been thinking. I don't get it. It doesn't matter. Alice likes the idea.
So Betty contacts a social worker and manages to score the last address her brother was attached to. They find him and to no one's surprise he wants nothing to do with them since he wasn't wanted. Betty isn't very good at letting things go, though, because she wants to make things right all the time, it's kind of her "thing", so she goes back. Perfect timing, too, since he is in the middle of getting beat up. She whips her pepper spray from her purse and gives the perpetrator a good spritz to the face. Betty and new brother have just enough time to make their escape to the Coopermobile and they drive home. And they lived happily ever after.
No, they probably won't. Even though the Coopers doctor new brother up and stick him in Polly's bed for the night, he wakes up and slips into Betty's room to watch her sleep.
Maybe watching Betty sleep just makes him feel peaceful, but I somehow seriously doubt it.
I somehow seriously doubt an FBI agent would recruit Archie Andrews to help him with a case too. Whoa! That transition was fast. But really, Archie? Archie is a lot of things, but the sharpest tool in the drawer he is not, right? Here's the thing, I don't trust Archie when he bites off more than he can chew, and I think helping a supposed FBI agent is a gigantic chewy bite of the biggest chewiest granola bar there ever was. You know, the kind that makes your jaws sore after having crunched up the particles just enough to pass down the esophagus? That's the big bite Archie has just taken and as of right now he's still chewing.
So this agent has contacted Archie to help him take down the Lodge family so he starts giving Archie missions, starting with the mission to find out if Hiram had anything to do with Nick St. Clair's "accident" that left him badly injured. Archie teams up with Cheryl to try and find out. He ends up kind of blowing his cover by beating Nick up when he goes to demand another check be made out to Cheryl for trying to rape her. But, nevertheless, the FBI agent still wants to continue to work with Archie to bring Hiram down. I wasn't super invested in their story until Archie brought up the hood towards the end of the episode. He asked the agent if he thought they got the wrong guy. Duh Duh Duh! We all know they got the wrong guy. I don't really care how long they drag that reveal out, I'm just glad they addressed it in this episode.
While I don't trust Archie to handle himself once he's taken a nice big chomp of chewy granola, I do trust Veronica to take care of herself once she's gotten in too deep. Ronnie is a Lodge, she's dealt with shady shit her whole life. She has such a tactical mind. Her new role at Lodge Industries seems to have bolstered Ronnie's confidence, because she is starting to take charge at school too. The Southside students were transferred to Riverdale because their school is considered dangerous and toxic due to a meth lab that was in the basement. No lab existed, this is all part of a deal to get the Lodge's the land that Southside high sits on, and the mayor will benefit heavily by receiving a large donation to her campaign, compliments of Hiram and Hermione. It's all so political. Anyway, Ronnie seems to be the adviser for the new students coming into Riverdale High, instead of an actual adviser or school counselor or something, because why would that make sense? She does a pretty good job until Reggie stirs stuff up and makes the transition for the new students difficult as hell.
Reggie is a jerk. He has no tolerance for the new students and he defaces the school seal so he can blame it on the new serpents at Riverdale. Principal Weatherbee is really stupid. As transparent as Reggie is, Veronica even points it out, he believes Reggie did not paint a big serpent "s" over the Riverdale seal. He decides the serpents should be punished by making them leave their "skins", or their jackets, at home while at school. I ask, what's the real difference between Serpent jackets and letteman jackets that the jocks wear? I mean, I know the letterman jackets represent the school, but they both just bond a group of individuals, yeah? Whatever. I'm with the serpents on this one, especially since before all was said and done they were all forced to wear a Riverdale uniform.
It is amusing to see Sweet Pea in that getup though.
So here we are. Sweet Pea is in khakis, Betty is about to be murdered in her bed by new brother, Archie is still stupid, and Penelope Blossom is a prostitute. Did I forget to mention that?
Where will we be next week? I'm excited to find out!
