Betty’s plan is revealed with one unexpected consequence.
Because you know what Agatha Christie novels did?
Is he prepared to deal with the consequences of faking his own death?

Let’s start at the beginning.
Alice has decided to waste NO time in making a documentary about Jughead’s death.
In fact, she’s not even waiting until the cops have found the killer!!
Ugh, Alice, we can see you in the mirror WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
After her interview, Betty heads to Pop’s, where she comes face-to-face with Cheryl.
So now we know Betty really didn’t do it.
Donna, however, has decided that Jug isn’t really dead.
(Maybe that prep school education is actually paying off.)
And when she latches onto a theory, there’s no turning her away.
(Sweet Pea is there to stop him.)
I’m telling you, when Donna cracks, she CRACKS.
Then, Betty kisses Archie while Cheryl snaps a photo and sends it to the entire school.
And when Donna does, she catches Betty making out with Archie.
And that’s where the plan ends and Jug’s fate is revealed.
Furthermore, Betty gives Jughead a new beanie.
After all, he can never be without one now that we know it helped save his life.
(It cushioned the blow, apparently.)
We just don’t know what that is yet.
I have to say, I’m less disappointed that Jughead is alive than I thought I would be.
But I’m not nearly as angry as I thought I’d be.
And I am very intrigued as to what this Betty-Archie flirtation could mean moving forward.
