![]() * LOL at Jughead referring to himself and Veronica as “Vughead.” It doesn’t quite have the same ring that “Bughead” does, but I’ll allow it. (Directed by Riverdale executive producer Greg Berlanti, by the way.) Seemingly everyone in town went to see it… and we even saw a clip! If the Bijou’s box-office receipts are any indication, it’s on track to be a blockbuster. * Man, that was serious product placement for the movie Love, Simon. This ticking time-bomb is going to go off soon, isn’t it? * Creepy Chic continued to be creepy, telling Jughead if he tells anyone about the dead body, “it’ll be bad for Betty and Alice.” Then when Betty came home from her weekend in the woods, Jughead warned her about Chic while he was lurking upstairs. It’s good that he and Josie sat down with their parents to talk it out, though. ![]() (She seems to think Kevin and Moose were just “lab partners.”) Plus, he had to learn that his dad Sheriff Keller is having an affair with Former Mayor McCoy, while his mom is overseas in the military. * Kevin had a tough week, having to watch his former flame Moose cuddle with girlfriend Midge. ![]() Hmmm… could Cheryl’s obsession with Josie be transferring to Toni? But later, a tearful Cheryl makes a big confession to Toni: She was in love with a girl named Heather in junior high, but Penelope split them up. Feel free to tremble.”) She’s still feuding with her mom Penelope - who blames her for driving away Hal and calls her an “emotional anorexic” - and she snaps at Toni when the “Sapphic Serpent” tries to get to know her. Welcome to the family, Archie.ĬHERYL BLOSSOMS | It’s nice to see Cheryl finally get some screentime, huh? (And killer dialogue like: “I need no reasons. ![]() Gulp.īack in Hiram’s study, Archie confesses that he still regrets he didn’t stop the Black Hood when he had the chance, and Hiram advises him to “never, ever hesitate.” Oh, and he gives him back Ronnie’s necklace, too. Suddenly, Andre appears out of thin air - where did he come from?! - and assures Archie, “I’ll take care of it from here.” As Archie’s walking away, he hears a single gunshot. But the cashier snatches her necklace on the way out, and Archie (having major Black Hood flashbacks) chases the guy down outside and tackles him. Veronica recognizes one of them as the cashier she flirted with, and manages to trigger a silent alarm that scares them off. Then - because this show can’t even go a week without putting its characters in grave danger - masked robbers burst into the lodge, wielding axes and demanding cash.

But when Jughead learns that Hiram has purchased his trailer park, and Betty learns that he bought her mom’s newspaper, they turn on Veronica, accusing Hiram of trying to buy off anyone who stands in his way. She takes Betty into town for a girls-only shopping trip, making sure to flirt with the store cashier along the way, while Archie and Jughead do some male bonding in the woods. The lovers’ retreat turns sour, though, when Veronica finds out that Andre’s been keeping an eye on them - and Archie knew about it! - and orders Andre to leave. And while he’s doing frustrated push-ups at the foot of Veronica’s bed, Betty is slipping into a lace bustier and her Dark Betty wig (!!) to give Jughead “a distraction from his sleuthing.” Now it’s their bed’s turn to squeak-squeak-squeak… They do share a totally platonic smooch - while Archie grits his teeth and glares. (Aw!) After Veronica whips up some jalapeño margaritas and prescribes a dip in the hot tub to heal these frayed relationships, she suggests she should kiss Jughead (!) to even the score. Jughead is mostly just mad that Betty never told him: He admits he used to be jealous of Archie, but now he knows he and Betty are stronger than all that.
