I really hope Archie and Veronica's break-up sticks for a while.

Also, looks like Betty should have reported that illegal gay conversion prison the Sisters were running to the police and got that place shut down sooner. Seriously, why didn't she do that? Why didn't anyone do that?

Man this show has out-loving-done itself with the insanity to the point where I don't know if the characters are hallucinating or seeing this for real anymore.

Also it sucks to have S1 evil abusive Alice Cooper back. :smith:

gently caress if the characters are hallucinating it, are we sure we aren't?

Try summarizing an episode verbally and see how loving bonkers you'll sound.

To be fair, my desktop is wall-to-wall icons and folders, and I'm often surprised at the things I find there. That scene was probably the single most believable thing that's been on the show this season.

Archie has the worst impulse control. And he makes the worst snap decisions. He could have traded that bottle of booze for another pair of sneakers.
So Archie
1. Admitted his guilt in court so he'd end up in prison 'to protect his friends and family'
2. Broke out of prison to find the real killers
3. Now that he's been cleared of the crime, has decided to disappear 'to protect his friends and family'
:derp:
4. :wtf: Maybe what's really going on is that Archiekins wants to split up with Veronica but is trying to avoid the break-up confrontation so these are his escalating attempts to ghost her.

Does anyone have a theory about the seizures? When Josie had hers, I was thinking some of the adults were drugging their food and drinks with a poison to build up their tolerances to protect them from the poison fresh-aid. But then I remembered Ethel had a seizure and were her parents even involved at all?

Evelyn's gotta be involved. She's been at the scene at both Ethel and Josie's seizures, and she might have been around for Betty's too.

For all Riverdale has been this season her being the one doing it seems way too obvious/telegraphed.

I’d like to point out that Veronica told Archie on the phone “we’re end game” and I pointed out earlier this season Kevin explicitly said Betty and Archie are end game. Betty and jug don’t seem to do much couple stuff either considering she’s serpent queen.

There will be at least most of a season that have Archie and Betty as a couple.

Probably season 4

God, I hope not. I don't have a problem with Jughead and Betty breaking up (even if they are cute together) , but it would be such a letdown if she ended up with Archie. They've both moved on by now.

I suspect that this show's versions of Archie and Betty would be completely intolerable together, reflecting and magnifying each other's righteous impulses until they're completely insufferable self-superior chodes.

So obviously that needs to happen.

Malpais Legate

Betty getting pregnant with Jughead's child would be direct parallels to Alice and FP, meaning they could have all sorts of drama with Alice screaming about "the cycle repeating itself" and "how could I have failed my daughter."

But really I'm betting Veronica gets pregnant from her reunion sex with Archie and uses the unborn baby as a gently caress you to her parents.

It'll be Cheryl who gets to be Riverdale's first celebrated teen pregnancy, but then it'll turn out that Ethel Muggs secretly had Dilton Doiley's baby, but was forced to give it up to the sinister Sisters. Cheryl, and the rest of the teens, will give no fucks (Betty might make a sad pout face) and there'll be lots of shots of Ethel silently fuming at the back of Cheryl's baby shower.

I disagree, I don't think either of them would grow up at all if they started dating. Think about it: Betty is addicted to involving herself in murder investigations where the killer is still active, and Archie is dangerously impulsive in the worst possible way. I strongly suspect that after a month of dating they would get themselves killed.

I can't remember the line offhand but Jug says something that sounded like she died to me, then we see a scene of her with the Gargoyle King in her hospital room.

I'll peep it omw to work if my data behaves 'cause it's been bugging me. But she hasn't been in an episode since.

Yeah but he's the narrator, he's got plot armor. That's how he survived being beaten to death.

Which isn't really out of character for Ethel even when she's a part of the plot.
