If you ever wondered whenRiverdalewould go full noir, the answer is: Right freakin now. But I suppose now more than ever its a town of lost souls. For once, Ill let Jugs overdramatic voiceover go because it works with the noir theme of the hour. Credit: Jack Rowand/The CW (If only the episode had been in black-and-white!) As she tells Jug, You do know how volatile blondes can be. (Is thatRiverdalesversion of blondes have more fun?...
For starters, she got FP a gift in the form of Bettys house! people to murder your teenage daughters then-boyfriend. Or if he and Archie want to wrestle again, that works too.

They just have no way of knowing when people will use them. the worlds most gullible nerds that the addendum came from the Gargoyle King himself. After all, thats what Hiram did when he created the quest....
Welcome to my favorite episode ofthe seasonthus far! Honestly, Id love if every week were formatted this way. Lets get into it. Credit: Cate Cameron/The CW If theyre so worried about Hiram catching up, might I suggest they do something other than WALK?! What do you want to bet theyre only like 50 miles outside of Riverdale, max? Within minutes of walking onto the property, a young girl pulls a rifle on them....
WELL I BET YOU DO NOW. But Cheryls not kidding. Why she chose to only shoot him once is something Ill never understand. Credit: Photo: Katie Yu/The CW Maybe because shes new to this whole vigilante business? By the time she calls Betty, shes busy TRACKING THE BLACK HOOD THROUGH THE WOODS. So maybe shes not new to this vigilante business? But the Hood isnt the only person feeling riled up....
Im going to be honest: I do not fully understand what is going on with theGargoyle Kingand … I really like it?! I dont care if Im confused because Im intrigued, and thats more important. Credit: Dean Buscher/The CW This weeks episode starts with Betty taking care of Archie while Jughead tells her about his Gargoyle King sighting. Archie mentions it could be Joaquin considering he told Kevin about a new gang before running into the woods....
I have a very serious question for all of you: Did you care about Baby Teeth? Did you ever hear him say more than, I dont know, two sentences? Why else would he decide to pull all of Baby Teeths teeth out? Credit: Katie Yu/The CW (Perhaps as punishment for calling himself Baby Teeth all these years?) But I do have to say, the incredibly dramatic coroner might be my favorite part of this show....
According to Jughead, Archie Andrews died at 8:47 on a Wednesday morning. Or … At least the Archie we knew. And to that I say BOOO. Credit: Jack Rowand/The CW That melodramatic voiceover is too much Jug. But that doesnt mean everything is back to normal. Like for instance, Archie now prefers a root beer float to a strawberry milkshake. In the words ofQueer Eyes Jonathan Van Ness, CAN YOU BELIEVE?...
Lets get into it! Cut to us meeting Archies roommate, Mad Dog, otherwise known as my new number one crush onRiverdale. Youre Mad Dog, right? Credit: Dean Buscher/The CW That just makes me laugh.

When Veronica and Reggie bring Archie so Reggie visits Arch before, I dont know, Jughead?...
Actually, let’s talk about it all! The hour starts with Toni telling Penelope Blossom all about Edgar harvesting organs.

It turns them on. Break the new code and they will be exiled. Meanwhile, Reggie is driving some beer across the border why is his truck so old? Credit: Shane Harvey/The CW And why isnt Archie running a brewery by now? when the Gargoyle Gang attacks him on behalf of Hiram. It seems Papa Lodge wants 10 percent of Veronicas earnings, but she only wants to give him five. That brings Veronica to Jugs doorstep....
I have to warn you all: The opening images of this weeksRiverdaleare truly disturbing. First, theres Archie, whos been thrown into solitary after refusing to be the wardensnew Mad Dog. Do not give me that imagery ever again,Riverdale. Credit: Robert Falconer/The CW All I have to say is that this is NOT OKAY. First of all, that bunker is super creepy. Also, you have no idea what Dilton did in that bed....
Meet Jugheads mom and sister. And Gina can handle all [of] them, Perry added. On the upside, Reinhart also teased of Bughead, so far so good.

Judgment day is coming for Archie Andrews (KJ Apa). Its Labor Day weekend and its closing arguments for Archies trial, explains executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
