We start this week by finding out that Cheryl and her mother are living in a bordello.
Let me clear it up for you: Cheryls mother needed a job, so now shes a prostitute.
Its something shes been doing for two weeks now, and you know what?

Shes feeling pretty good about herself.
The mayor is closing down Southside High School and sending the students elsewhere.
And in exchange for her help, the mayor will get a sizable donation to her reelection campaign.
In other words, Riverdale is back to its super skeezy self after that whole Black Hood debacle.
Betty finds her sister packing up some things at the house.
Apparently, the leaders of the farm think its best if Polly severs all ties to her family.
Thats why she didnt so much as call her mother when she, you know, gave birth.
Betty then takes the news to her parents, but her father isnt interested.
Mom, on the other hand, tags along for the road trip.
And not surprisingly, hes not interested in getting to know his mother.
But he might be more interested in getting to know his sister… (Maybe he just doesnt understand how to be a sibling?
Yeah, no, hes definitely a murderer.)
As for Archie, he spends the episode trying to decide where his allegiances lie.
It seems the person taking pictures of Archie was Special Agent Adams with the FBI.
(Next: Archie pays Nick a visit)
Ultimately, its Cheryl who will clue Archie in.
And suddenly, everythings coming together in Archies mind.
(Also, stop calling your jackets your skin like!)
Archie meets back up with Agent Adams.
And if were measuring success in terms of money, Archies trip is great!
He warns Arch to be careful, because when Veronica Lodge smells blood, shell turn on you too.
By the time Archie gets home, Nick has already texted Veronica about his newly broken nose.
And that leads Cheryl to apologize about telling Veronicas secret.
It also leads to Archie lying and telling the truth at the same time.
He asks if Veronica told anyone else about Nick, but she only mentions Kevins name.
And before we call it quits, heres a quick update on the whole Weatherbee versus Jughead struggle.
Were not shedding our skins, Jug says, really overdoing this whole snake analogy.
Were lying low in the tall grass.
So there you have it: Chic is in town!
So is the FBI!
And maybe so is the Black Hood…still?
