It’s safe to say some things are different, and others… not so much.
Then there’s Archie and Veronica.
At the end of the night, they each head home.
The CW
While Kevin and Betty start to clean out the FBI field office, Veronica meets with Hiram.
She says she wants back in on the family business.
It seems she and Chad are considering buying a weekend home in Riverdale.
Apparently he mocked some of their traditions.
So instead, Jug tries his hand at Pop’s.
Hiram has cut the budget and they’ll be voting on everything at the upcoming school board meeting.
And to sweeten the deal, he offers her a counselor position.
But Toni stands her ground.
Archie then shifts his focus to his childhood home.
And, as Kevin’s hot dad always is, Tom’s right.
But Archie does find one thing in the house… Polly.
Furthermore, Smithers spots a car parked out front and lets Veronica know she’s being followed.
It seems her new husband is a bit controlling.
When Betty’s nightmares wake her up at 3 a.m., she hears something downstairs.
But it’s only Polly.
Over a cup of tea, the sisters make amends and agree to be there for each other.
Betty says once she finishes at the academy, she’ll be home a lot more.
As for what Polly does for work, she claims to waitress at a nightclub.
It does not go well.
Also not going well?
Jug’s job search.
Seems she’s a bit like Pop after all.
Apparently, Hiram is putting forth a vote to un-incorporate the town, a.k.a.
take its money, a.k.a.
She wants daddykins to talk to him, but Hiram says no.
He hasn’t forgotten the way Veronica spoke to him seven years ago.
Cut to Betty and Archie giving off a VIBE as they clean up Archie’s house.
I have to say, I’m a fan of the way FBI Betty fits with more mature Archie.
And when the two of them had steamy sex in the shower?
Something more had to come of it!
And maybe that time apart was the thing they needed to finally have a chance together.
That doesn’t feel like the right call if you ask me.
With her money, they could make the school private.
As for Jug’s speech, it just landed him his next book?
He sent it into his agent and now his publishers are hooked.
Apparently stories about dying small towns are all the rage right now!
Betty’s instantly in.
So, now we have an answer to the question of why they’re going to stay put.
At least for now.
But her victory is followed by the board voting to dissolve the township of Riverdale.
So they saved the school, but not the town… yet.
At least until Jughead knocks on Archie’s door and asks to move in with him.
So more shower sex might have to wait.
