is taking place in the past.
And that is fantastic.
The town of Greendale has been mentioned several times onRiverdaleto date.
It is just across Sweetwater River, where Jason and Cheryl were to rendezvous before fate intervened.
Ms. Grundy was killed there too.
Because its the Witching Hour, of course.
Is this murderer the same person as the madman currently pursuing those he feels are sinners in Riverdale?
Fortunately, the getting-smarter-by-the-week Archie arrives just in time to save the day.
He and Jughead deliver the goods.
Then Jughead learns the truth, Penny is using him to pay off his fathers debts.

We know that aChilling Adventures Of Sabrinaseries is in production.
And the CW never met a crossover it didnt like, so the potential here is obvious.
The only complaint I had about the first season was that Sabrina was hinted at but never arrived.
Im convinced this will be happening soon.
Meanwhile, back in Riverdale proper, Josie is finally getting a chance to shine.
