In a fantastic Riverdale, the Cooper/Blossom maple syrup blood feud results in some collateral damage.
The Blossom family has far-reaching influence, and the financial power to influence change and destroy lives in Riverdale.
The show has used Archibald as a surrogate/replacement Jason before, and tonight this motif takes an explicit turn.
Hes a fantastic comic character but an absolutely atrocious boyfriend.
But you know what the unexpected side effect of the Lodge fall from grace is?
This is no act either.
If there was an overall theme to tonights episode it was empowerment.
Next Week: Aint no party like a Jughead Jones party.
Plus, Molly Ringwald debuts as Archies mother, Mary Andrews!
Fitting given the very different social backgrounds of the Andrews and Blossom families, wouldnt you agree?
Nana Roses prediction that Polly is having twins has been proven correct.
Check off another mark in the column of the Blossom family having supernatural abilities.
Youre stronger than your mother.
Youre stronger than your father.
Youre holding your family together.
Madchen Amickcutting a cherry pie?
Thats a geniusTwin Peaksreference right there.
Especially in light of how Penelope Blossom coos about how good Jason doppelganger Archibald looks in the right light.
Clifford Blossom dresses like he is an extra inThe Prisoner,and I love that.
That will never not be amazing.
