This is the kind ofRiverdaleepisode I’ve been waiting for!
I mean, what more could you want?!
However, he has another idea: He’d like to open a casino with Veronica here in Riverdale.
Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse, Lili Reinhart and KJ Apa in ‘Riverdale’.The CW
She’s all set to return to New York and resume her role as the She-Wolf of Wall Street.
But there’s a problem with that plan, too.
Across town, Archie and Betty enjoy some day drinking together.
Like, wants to jump his bones grateful.
And seeing as how Tabitha’s lease is up in the fall… you get it.
But their sweet moment is interrupted by the small fact that a Ghoulie set fire to Pop’s.
(Meaning they torture the guy.
You know, a fun couple activity!)
Because he’s surrounded by smoke when he kicks down Hiram’s office door.
Because nothing says “our romance is over” like killing your father together.
Well, because recently she hasn’t been paying for insurance.
She had to choose between paying her staff and paying her insurance, and now she’s screwed.
But Jughead has an idea for how she can deal with her anger.
They then invite everyone in town to witness Hiram’s exile.
(It helps that she and literally everyone else in attendance is holding a gun.)
Betty, it seems, is still being watched by TBK.
Remember the Trash Bag Killer?
If this is somehow her dad, I swear…
Okay, on to Riverdale’s future!
That Ghoulie calling them soft really got to her, so she’s ready to re-focus on the Serpents.
As for Kevin, he’s ready to give New York and Broadway another try.
And then there’s Cheryl, who finds a bunch of skeletons in the mines.
“They” being the ancestors of Archie, Betty, and Jughead.
She then returns home and reads the very curse that Abigail said all those years ago.
You know, because Riverdale wasn’talreadycursed.
They’re not doing friends-with-benefits this time.
They want to be together!
(If only Betty had more time, she could’ve defused it with a bobby pin!)
As bonkers as all of this was with bombs and curses, THIS is theRiverdaleI’ve been missing lately.
(Although them blowing up is… not ideal.)
But I have full faith they won’t be dead when the show returns in just over a month.
