Welcome to the Hiram Lodge origin story, everybody!
And yet, Reggie doesn’t want to stop working for Hiram.
In fact, he’d rather stop working with his own father at Mantle Motors.

That will come into play later.
and then tells his father he’s quitting.
Unhappy, his father goes to Hiram and asks that Hiram leave Reggie alone.
And no, they never found palladium.
Then one day, Hiram still Jaime back then shines the shoes of a local gangster they call Vito.
He’s also, however, getting arrested.
When Hiram’s father finds out about all of this, he disapproves.
And then he… threatens Vito.
He says that if Vito doesn’t leave his son alone, he’ll go to the cops.
So naturally, Vito has Hiram’s father killed.
And this brings us to another first for Hiram: His first kill.
Hiram only ever returned to Riverdale when he found out his father was right about the palladium.
So now, his mission is to get to the palladium from underneath the Blossom Maple Groves.
It’s what he’s been working for his entire life.
As for that ghost gun?
On the drive home, Hiram sets Reggie free.
After all, as Reggie puts it, “I have good ideas sometimes.”
Hiram ends the hour by watching what I think is an episode ofReal Housewiveswith Hermione and Veronica on it?
Either that or he’s watching surveillance from the apartment?
But we’ll just have to see about that.
If only his plan was as impressive as his workout regimen…
