The Riverdale midseason finale ends with a bang.
Riverdale Season 2 Episode 9
The Black Hood is dead.
Long live the Black Hood.
Mission accomplished then, as there is a lot to chew on here.
The biggest revelation was that Joseph Conway/Mr.
First off, the piercing green eyes of the Hood and Svenson dont really match.
Also, theres the new question of who is photographing Archie kissing Veronica and why.
Hell, it could be the ever-watchful and increasingly creepy Cheryl.
On a show likeRiverdale, which has 13 episodes left this season, anything feels possible.
(And Svensons eyes were closed when Keller shot him, so theres that bit of mystery too).
The stakes for the characters would be much higher if, say, Bettys dad were the Black Hood.
A serial killer who only took one life?
So yeah, Im guessing we arent quite done with the Hood yet.
Im much more unclear about the fate of Penny Peabody.
The Snake Charmer is no saint, but Jughead mutilating her makes him light years more villainous.
Leaving her in Greendale after midnight you guys heard that sinister wolf howl, right?
could very well be a fate worse than death though in this shows universe.
I hope she comes back as a witch.
Man, I want some witches on here already.
Was there any doubt that these crazy kids would get back together?
Probably not, but I didnt realize it would happen this quick, jeez.
Exactlt why do they need Fred for their plans?
Is he so invaluable that they will cover $86,000 in his medical bills?
And why does this subplot continue to be the least interesting thing onRiverdale?
I suppose we will find out in 2018.
Romance isnt so much dead as it is lying dormant in a room prone to extreme weather.
Nice job, Arch.
Maybe the hours move slower in Riverdale?
Nah, Archies just self-consumed.
Maybe he will learn a lesson about giving and write a song about, hopes nobody.
Spiffanys, Glamourege Egg, American Excess.
Im thinking maybeCracked, or, better still,Crazy.
Somewhere Obnoxio the Clown is smiling.
Apparently not bought atTiffanysSpiffanys, this cheap ass looking watch with Sharpie engraving that Veronica gave Archie.
Mr. Svenson gets depressed at the holidays.
Baby, dont we all.
For someone 86 grand in the hole, Fred sure had the capital to start up another business quick.
Then, when F.P.
Mrs. Jones and Jellybean are only in Toledo and you dont see them hopping on the horn.
Not one Jingle Jangle reference in the entire Christmas episode?
Well playedRiverdale, well played indeed.
asked for synergy in his stocking!
Who was that dude Penelope Blossom was making out with on the couch?
Was it Vic the tree guy from Freds Pop Up Christmas Shop?
Sooner or later, every character onRiverdaleis going to sing.
(Is this part of their community service for getting high on Jingle Jangle earlier in the season).
Josie kid, you are talented, get an agent.
Happy holidays everyone, we will see you in the new year for moreRiverdalewonderment!
