And the show has yet to give us a story that brings everyone back together.
So, let’s take this one story at a time, shall we?
He even confronts Taylor face-to-face, which results in a scene full of threats from both sides.
Madelaine Patsch and Casey Cott in ‘Riverdale’.The CW
(Good to see that Archie still loves going toe-to-toe with someone three times his age.)
Taylor ordered Archie’s platoon into a firing zone to deliver medical supplies to civilians.
Immediately, they needed backup.
Arch then spends much of the episode asking his platoon’s families if they support the military tribunal.
And when Archie went to call for help, Eric left the unit unprotected.
In the end, Eric agrees to testify, and the military tribunal decides to discharge Taylor without honors.
So, it’s over, and I’m still struggling to care.
Veronica
When Chad who apparently still uses Skype?!
Suddenly, she and Reggie need an influx of cash, and they need it fast.
Steal daddy’s stash of palladium.
So after a flirty phone call, Hermosa gives up the location.
But when Chad tells her about his new company, Copter Cab a.k.a.
Uber for the most privileged of the privileged Veronica sees an opportunity.
Honestly, he didn’t think that was a good idea, did he?!
Why did she ever marry this idiot?
That’s barely sober!
Go take some time to yourself, dude!
Anyway, he apologizes to Weatherbee, who puts him on administrative leave.
Then he apologizes to Tabitha before asking about his manuscript.
When he finds out Jessica has it, he panics.
It won’t be good for his (again, very fragile) sobriety to track down Jessica.
Honestly, it’s hard to root for any of these people right now!
I mean, I root for Archie, but his stories are just too boring.
As for his apology tour, he apologizes to Betty about the voicemail… while still drinking.
So yeah, that apology sucks.
But Betty barely notices; she’s too obsessed with her own addiction to serial killers.
It seems hunting down serial killers as a teen has messed her up in life.
Now, she’s more comfortable studying serial killers than she is socializing with normal people.
Well yeah, you spent your formative years leaving school dances to track down murderers.
Riverdale messed you up, girl!
Because Tabitha, now the best character on this show, refuses to let Betty do this alone.
Cheryl
Okay, guys, I saved the most insane for last.
I’m going to let you read that sentence again.
First, Cheryl changes water into maple syrup.
A true miracle for sugar-lovers everywhere.
So naturally, after that, the third miracle would be: Bees.
And when Penelope tries to call her out in front of the congregation which seems to meet every day?
And I’m out.
Cheryl threatening to smite people?!
What is the point of all this?!
And to make matters worse, she’s apparently drinking her own Kool-Aid.
I’ll say this: If you are, Cheryl, then we’re all screwed.
