Riverdale 2.17 The Noose Tightens

This episode, like many others was good, but not because of its main focus. Yes, this episode focused heavily on the Lodges and Archie, but it was the other stories that made it great! There was plenty of FP & Alice, Joise learned a secret and #Choni became official! Let’s dive in!
  • I am honestly beginning to question who Archie is actually in love with, V or Hiram?
  • Hiram’s associates, Lenny and Carl come to visit. Like everyone else they aren’t happy with Hermoine’s mayoral campaign and want a cut of the prison. When Archie tries to act bad, they reacted how all did!
  • Adams (the faux FBI agent from earlier this second half season) turned on the Lodges.
  • Archie vows to to protect the Lodges while ignoring his own family and invents the Dark Circle to “protect” Riverdale.
  • Mary asks Archie if Archie knows who Archie is? I love how hard she is on Archie. She needs to stay!
  • AND Fred officially announces his mayoral run against Hermoine!
  • Elsewhere, in a PTA sponsored event, Alice moderated a debate #Bughead, #Varchie and this odd pairing . . .
  • I wish we had seen more of this.
  • In Cooplossom land, Dwayne’s (the druggine Chic killed) car is discovered, which sends our favorite mother daughter team to the men they belong with!
  • #Bughead learn from Kevin that Darla, Dwayne’s ex, claimed the car, since Dwayne had stolen it! All is good until . . .
  • Chic brings Darla home. And she wants $10K to keep quiet and not ask questions or she’ll point the police to the Coopers.
  • Once B retrieves the money for her, she and her new beau decide they will stay and Darla threatens B.
  • But of course B had backup in the form of the Serpents!
  • Their secret safe for now, Alice decides it’s time for Chic to go!
  • And she embraces her Southside Serpent roots (finally!)
  • Finally, while Cheryl suffered with the Quiet Sisters of Mercy, Toni recruited V and Joise to help her find Cheryl.
  • Penelope exposes Cheryl’s past “obsession” with Josie
  • And Josie is done!
  • The real MVP of this episode is Nana Rose who crawled to a phone to call Tonmi in school, and tell her where Cheryl was.
  • With Kevin’s help, V and Toni find a secret tunnel and find Cheryl where #Choni becomes official as Toni saves and kisses the girl!
  • While it looks like Cheryl will thank Kevin for his assist in rescuing her, she tells him she wants the lead in the school musical Carrie!!!


*****Extra Tidbits*****
  • I’m really worried about Nana Rose, since Claudius discovered her on the phone.
  • What is FP & Alice’s ship name?
  • A lot of seeds have planted for Josie to have some good stories; a pussycat redemption story, a Cheryl/Josie follow up since Josie knows the truth now and more.
  • Also can Kevin be more involved and not with Chic, please?
  • Finally, now Chic has been kicked out, who thinks the blackhood will reappear?

That’s all for this week. I am so stoked for the Carrie musical episode, but Riverdale is taking a break until mid April! So I will see you then! Stay RiverdaleStrong!
