Riverdale 3.4 The Midnight Club

This flashback episode is definitely on top of my list of fave episodes! I know too much is a good thing, but i seriously wouldn't mind if we had a parents flashback episode each season from here on out! It was so great even down to the 90's music!!! Here some of my other thoughts:

- The set up was B confronting Alice about G&G! So B tells us all about Riverdale circa 90's!
- Right away we see Serpent Alice taking on Hall Monitor Penelope but it's not really a fight and I expected a little more from Serpent Alice. While Hermoine and Sierra try to stop them, all four end up in attention along with FP and Fred who went streaking.

- I'm not sue who ruined the game of secrets. Penelope sad story or Alice exposing FP as Southsider.

- LOL Siera and Tom were dating in high school long before their secret fling in Season 2! Love it!

-So, who brought G&G into Riverdale? No one knows as the gang accidentally discovered it.

- I have to admit I'm really surprised that this gang of misfits would get so into what essentially seems like a D&D knockoff, but not judging. Most games are fun given a chance and it appears each one used the game to escape from their own personal lives.

- We witness a moment between FP and Hermoine (aka Juggy and V) and they have chemistry. Sadly that was followed with a Barchie/FrAlice kiss. Ew!

- There was this real funny moment where couples looked at each other and Josie Sierra looked to . . . well no one.

- So apparently Pixie Sticks are to Jingle Jangle for today's youth as Pop Rocks were to Fizzle Rocks to the 90's . . . they were literally Pop Rocks and some how they got high.

- While I enjoyed the Fred Heads, I'm okay without seeing or hearing them again. But Penelope's dancing made me LOL and makes feel even more her (probably because Cheryl aka Madelain Petsch portrays her)

- Alice has seen the gargoyle King before but come on, we all know it's this Edgar dude.

- Some how during the game, the Principle died by ingesting the blue liquid from the wrong chalice . . . that's the secret the parents are hiding and I'm not sure if Alice thinks one of the others did it, so afterwards they all hid various parts of the game (instead of destroying it) and this later confirmed by B who finds at least some of them. B goes back to the bunker to find the Serpents, Juggy, Sweet Pea, Fangs, and Choni playing G&G. God No!!!!

So, killer episode! Lili Reinhart killed it as young Alice.

I feel there was missed opportunity with young Tom Keller and young Hiram Lodge who barely had any lines.

Penelope's story is so sad. Adopted by the Blossoms to marry the man she knows as her brother. This explains so much! Speaking of Blossoms, does the actor who plays Jason and now young Clifford ever have any lines? Like ever?

I still really don't understand how this G&G game is being played by everyone. Like why? And really are the cheerleaders and jocks going to secretly be playing too, really?

This episode is one of Riverdale's best! I'd love to see a future installment. Until next week, stay #RiverdaleStrong!
