Suddenly, we were watching Betty and Archie figure out their relationship as adults.
We were watching Toni basically execute the town.
But then… this week happened.

And now I feel like I’m watching oldRiverdaleagain?
Because that’s how you teach teenagers great ethics!
She even gets Cheryl to promise to put on a show at the next game with the Vixens.
If the Bulldogs score, he leaves them alone.
If it’s a shutout, they’ll voluntarily withdraw from the league.
Can you all believe how much I just wrote about boring high school football stuff?!
c’mon, that woman is so bored.
(None of that is true but where did she just find a bunch of football-loving teens?!)
Then Cheryl sings “Stupid Love” while the one female on Archie’s team scores.
Also, Reggie is good again.
Cheryl says yes, but Betty still lies to her mom when she gets home.
So that trip was pointless.
The next day, Betty ends up at Pop’s, where Jughead has an idea.
It’s this look in her eye.
She’s on the verge of shooting him when that darkness in her eye fades I think.
The camera was zoomed out at this point.
Jughead calls and needs her help.
Like, the kid is really just on Lee Street or something.)
When Jug tried to talk to him about it, Lerman’s parents requested he get a new teacher.
(Is there another teacher?
And if so, why is Jug still teaching?)
And they were right.
Betty finds Lerman on the Lonely Highway.
Turns out he’s a sleepwalker.
And now, Betty seems to be coming around a bit to the alien theory.
Also, WHERE IS BETTY’S CAT, DUDE?!
I hope I’m wrong.
