We start with Archie campaigning for his father by going door to door and handing out fliers.
So far, no luck.
Then theres Betty, whos pretty sure shes sitting across from the Black Hood during breakfast.
But, as Cheryl puts it, Thats the world we live in.
Lets all take that in for a second: THAT is the world that they live in.
Also part of the world they live in?
A mobster family version ofThe Bachelorette.
And apparently Kevin has now joined the Dark Circle and everything that was once good is rotten.
And cue the Bulldogs barging in on a Serpent meeting and throwing around accusations.
But Fangs swears he didnt kill her.
And rumor has it Poutines son Small Fry is looking for revenge.
(Well, based on that name, Id say Archie is perfectly safe.)
After her parents head out one night, she uses a bobby pin to break into his desk drawer.
And each one matches up perfectly.
Just as Betty explains this to Cheryl, theRegisters phone rings.
Apparently an unidentified male turned up off the highway and for a price, Betty can see him.
The Black Hood mightve been right.
Maybe they are the same.
But Cheryl tells her to focus on her father.
Its time to confront him with as much of the truth as Betty wants.
Then, she can wait and see how he reacts.
So when Betty gets home that night, she makes a confession to her parents.
Truth is theres always been this darkness in me.
She tells them that the Black Hood helped her understand that.
Cheryl said to confront them withsomeof the truth.
That was A LOT.
Alice is rightfully speechless, but Hal explains that he, too, understands darkness.
But fighting that darkness is why they need each other.
And cut to a close-up on his eyes!
Ugh, if only Arch were here to solve the mystery with one glance!
Politics waits for no threat.
Arch tries to disband the circle, but Reggie wont hear it.
Thats when Reg lets it slip that Hirams paying them now.
Not only that, it was also Hirams idea to attack the Whyte Wyrm.
Across town, Betty and Cheryl break into Hals B&B, where he still has a room.
There, they find the Nancy Drew book that the Black Hood used to make the cipher.
Things arent looking good for Hal.
(Or they are because he just became far more interesting as a character.)
But her victory is short-lived when the Black Hood shows up and starts shooting.
No one is hit, but when Hal grabs Betty, things get a bit confusing.
After the debate, Hermiones a bit shaken, but Hiram refuses to let her withdraw from the race.
So I guess Hiram wins that round.
Although Veronica just threw her support behind Freds candidacy, so well see.
(LOL that a teens support could mean so much.)
But will Betty defeat her father?
She calls her father and tells him to meet her where this all started: town hall.
But well have to wait until next week to see if he shows.
Hes free to go, but theres an angry mob outside demanding blood.
Part of that mob is Hirams new favorite pet, Reggie, who somehow is even dumber than Archie.
For some reason, the actual police are doing NOTHING to subdue the crowd.
Teens are shooting teens outside a literal sheriffs station, and this might be where this show loses me.
