…
Aaaaaand were moving on.
Long story short, the Ghoulies won.
Now, most Serpents either joined the Ghoulies, were arrested, are in hiding, or left town.

And thanks to Hiram Lodges expertly orchestrated plan, Sunnyside Trailer Park fell.
The Serpents dont exist anymore, FP tells his son.
Also, Fangs is alive!
So in other words, you fake-died for nothing, Jug!
But the update doesnt end there!
In other words, forget your crap, Jug!
Bettys dealing with way bigger things.
Turns out, having a murderer for a father isnt great for your political career.
She wants Fred on Hermiones heels, literally.
And with her focus on Fred, she too decides to pull out of the student body race.
Conspiring against her parents is a full-time job, it seems.
While Archie heads to the sheriffs station to identify Hal DOES HE HAVE THE RIGHT EYES?
Thats when she sees them meeting with Hiram Lodge.
Thats also when she hides INSIDE A BARREL so that her mother doesnt see her snooping.
Because you know whats smart?
Admitting to a cop that youre probably going to break the law while also insulting him!
Im supposed to be this great detective, the teen says.
So how didnt she see what was right in front of her?!
Why didnt Betty take a break from learning about American History to stop a serial killer?!
Honestly, she should be embarrassed.
THIS is the throw in of stuff teens should be doing.
Not playing detective, Betty!
If Veronica can buy it before her daddy does, she can stop him.
He heads to his father to make a plan, but it seems FP is done with this town.
After Hiram fired him from Pops, FP decided its time for he and Jug to move to Toledo.
But that was before they learned the truth about Tall Boy.
The he in question was Tall Boy, a man whod done Hiram Lodges bidding in the past.
They need to get the remaining Serpents out of there NOW.
And where do all these Serpents go?
And it isnt terrible!
BUT shes willing to sell it to him in exchange for Pops.
As she puts it, Thats all blood money anyway.
Aww, arent father-daughter moments the best?!
There, Betty tells her father that all the darkness and all the evil ends with her.
And all I have to say is: Is this scene oddly sexual?
Why is she whispering like that?!
In other words, students can expect mandatory mid-day workout breaks and 50 percent less reading!
(Did I just find the REAL mystery ofRiverdale?!)
But Jug isnt the only person in a newly appointed place of power: Hermione wins the election.
And just when I think Archie might be smart enough to wear a wire, NOPE.
In what world, Arch?!
Youre standing there talking about how this guy kills people for a living youre listing his victims!
as you threaten him.
Surely you cant be THIS dumb.
Spoiler: He is that dumb.
He really,reallyis.
More on that in a moment.
The plan is for Claudius, Penny, and the Ghoulies to run drugs through the new prison.
As for Penelope, Hiram promises her a brothel in good time.
(Can you imagine Penelope as a young girl just dreaming of owning her own brothel some day?)
As for the core four, Hirams not worried.
He says steps have been taken to tear them apart.
Just be glad your pretty dumb self is still breathing.
Sounds cult-y if you ask me.
If only Archie and Hiram had wrestled again…
