She is a cipher of a character, one who would have had access to Jughead’s stories and knows about almost every aspect of his life. But this episode raises the most intriguing potential suspect yet. To a lesser degree, Evelyn Evernever is a possibility too. Episodes from last season have shown us Charles and Chip plotting together for a yet to be revealed reason. It also goes against the show’s habit of making the protagonist someone we already know. So the family drama here isn’t really very compelling, you know?ĭavid seems to be too obvious of a choice to be the identity of the Auteur.

As much as I love me some Shakespeareian motifs, these characters regularly deal with serial killers and cult members. It’s not that Toni’s Nana has an issue with her granddaughter’s sexuality - although she kinda does - but more that Toni is dating a sworn enemy of the Lopez family.
What’s the over/under until we see Veronica performing “Bittersweet Symphony” at La Bonne Nuit?Įlsewhere, the Choni ship (I am in my forties and just wrote those words!) is threaten by the ghost of the greatest thing to ever happen on Riverdale: The Blossom family’s Maple Syrup Blood Feud. Much drama will ensue, but in the show’s now, they are done. (Even though we know that Veronica will be married to the jerky Chad Gekko, another Katy Keene character climbing aboard the Riverdale express). The deception is enough to blow apart the pair’s “endgame” status…at least until after the upcoming time jump and their old flame is inevitably rekindled. One, it should be mentioned, that made Betty feel super uncomfortable…although that could’ve just been the terrible song Archie wrote for her. This results in his destroying his relationship with Veronica by telling her about his illicit kiss with Betty. Now that the Navy isn’t an option, and he’s questioning his whole life. He’s discovered that while he has some options - running the gym is his best bet - he also needs to clear his head, and getting out of Riverdale would help with that greatly. Addressing this most obvious of character flaws makes our oft-shirtless protagonist that much more of a likable guy. It was wise for the showrunners to make the character realize that he is a bit of a rudderless dolt. First and foremost are Archie’s struggles. That minor gripe aside, there’s a lot to enjoy here. Just one that, through no fault of its own, doesn’t really work as a season premiere. Writers Ace Hasan and Greg Murray handle this arguably thankless task with aplomb, squeezing out the necessary exposition needed to push the plot points towards their approaching conclusion while shoehorning in a (now unfortunate) Katy Keene tie-in. There’s a lot to be told here until the show finishes telling this specific story. Lodge’s illness and how he is using vigilantism to cope with it, the mysterious (and suitably anachronistic videotapes) arriving at the doorsteps of Riverdale residents, and the gang prepping for their imminent post-high school lives.
As such it thrusts us into the start of the endgame of last season’s storylines - namely the fallout of the Betty and Archie kiss, Mr. This episode was a leftover from last year, filmed but not completed production until the pandemic lockdown was over.
