Someone is finally arrested for the murder of Jason Blossom on Riverdale.
But did Sheriff Keller get the right killer?
Specifically, that slipperiest of all South Side Serpents, F.P.
But who needs logic when your show is populated with maple syrup blood feuds and secret wig rooms?
seems to know all about.
(Theory: Hal Cooper is Jason Blossoms father.
Handling writing duties this time out is showrunner and Archie Comics Chief Creative Officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
His episodes have always been the best in this strong debut season, and the trend continued this evening.
As solid as everything was here, there were a few problems.
Furthermore, the whole Homecoming Dance performance by Archie and Veronica didnt make any narrative sense.
Is it really dramatic to cross-cut Jugheads dad getting arrested with a performance of an upbeat new wave staple.
I mean they played a pissant food festival, so theyd be all over this one.
Riverdale Rundown
Tonights episode takes its title from the ill-fated TV movieTo Riverdale and Back Again.
As dull as this affair is, it did have some long-lasting ramifications on the Archieverse.
(A concept thatRiverdaleis also clearly running with).
So this largely forgotten project has a real impact on all things Archie nearly 30 years later.
Not even a genius like Dilton Doiley could have predicted that.
Do Josie and the Pussycats sing over the Riverdale High PA every day?
Or is that just a homecoming thing?
Line of the episode?
Probably Alices incredibly offensive dismissal of Joaquin as that gay greaser accomplice.
Does Clifford Blossoms wig room have its own Twitter account yet?
If dude isnt a legitimate redhead, then what else is he lying about?
Is every Blossom contractually obligated to be a ginger?
This color totally pops on you Cheryls compliments in tonights episode ofRiverdaleare brought to you by Cover Girl.
More lines for Pop Tate hey.
Speaking of Pops, can we just stare in admiration at this set?
Its a thing of beauty.
Theres two episodes left this season.
Jughead still hasnt eaten a burger yet.
I mean, cmon.
The Baxter High Ravens are referred to as the Riverdale Bulldogs biggest rival.
We learned earlier this week that Mark Consuelos has been cast as Hiram Lodge.
But what will his character look like?
We have some idea thanks to this image from theRiverdaleone-shot comic.
(Currently in stores).
Musical upside to this episode: Blue Monday by New Order was featured at the Homecoming Dance.
In the past,Riverdalehas made 80s remakes a vital part of the series sonic landscape.
Tonight though, whoo, these were stinkers.
That song is, and shall forever be, an absolute jam.
