This weeksRiverdalefelt like one of those episodes where a lot happened, but also … nothing really happened?
I could honestly sum it up by saying Everyone is at war, and Archie and Josie had sex.
Yes, Archie spends his days training with Tom Keller to become a boxer.

And yes, its INSANELY STUPID that Tom Keller trains Archie while wearing jeans and a jacket.
I thought the very least wed get out of this story would be a shirtless Keller!!
Is that too much to ask?!?!
So, the teen takes his first fight with an undefeated professional boxer, because that makes sense.
Furthermore, Archie agrees to throw the fight … until he changes his mind.
Without any sort of training montage, Tom prepares Archie for the fight, which he ultimately loses.
But considering that the guy didnt successfully murder Archie, perhaps its more of a win?
Regardless, Archie and Josie sleep together, so yeah, Id say the night is a win.
(Next: Betty takes on the Farm)
The Pretty Poisons vs. And so when he says no, she decides to send a message.
Or rather, Cheryl decides to send one for her.
Toni confronts Cheryl and asks, Is this gang mine or yours?
(This feels like a good time to remind you that these are teenagers!!)
and gets to her mom just as Polly holds her underwater for too long and Alice loses consciousness.
Now, she intends to sell their house so that they can all live together at the Farm.
So weirdly I think Archie might have come out of this episode as the biggest winner?
Im not entirely sure.
But I think its time we meet Edgar, meet the real Gargoyle King, and get some answers.
I need some of these storylines to intersect or else I fear Ill lose interest.
