Now, Archie offers to let Ricky sleep in his garage.

Speaking of where people sleep, Alice is trying to sell Bettys!

For every nice story, theres one about how her dad was the Black Hood.

Talk about a rich history!

Of all people, they had to take precious Kevin, didnt they?!

Anyone else wouldve been bearable!

Hes not saying: Gangs are bad, you shouldnt be in them.

Hes saying: BE BETTER GANG LEADERS, CHILDREN!

And seeing as how she owes them both money, she doesnt exactly have a lot of leverage.

She has an idea!

She clearly needs more money, so why dont they make their secret speakeasy into a secret casino?!

Because again, these are teenagers.

Running a secret casino cant be any harder than studying for their SATs!

(Just kidding, they already took their SATs!)

The Gargoyles now outnumber the Serpents, so whats he supposed to do?

Outthink them, is ultimately FPs advice, and he suggests giving the gang members purpose.

Remember how teens need homework?

So do teens in gangs!

Arch also calls Ms. Weiss, who agrees to look into Rickys case.

Ultimately, they find Ricky at the old Gargoyle Gang headquarters because hed heard they cleared out.

This kid is either super smart or something weird is going on.

Its the only way the Gargoyles will let him play the game.

As for the brand on Rickys arm, he did it to himself!

And now, he cuts Archie before Fred gets home and Ricky runs off.

Id also like to talk about something for a moment: All Archie ever does is box.

Its the only thing hes supposedly good at.

And yet he couldnt dodge one swipe from a small child???

As for Betty, she spends the episode trying to save Kevin from the Farms truly terrible rituals.

(Remember: Alice told everyone at the Farm all her dirty secrets.)

Well, she at least starts a fire, its TBD if the whole thing will burn down.

Either way, Dark Betty is BACK, yall.

(Although Alice said the house had been bought by an anonymous buyer.

If I were Betty, I mightve found out who that was before torching the place.

What if Hal was trying to surprise his daughter?

(Would it have killed him?

Whats EVEN WORSE, Jug?

However, the incident gives Jug an idea.

Theyll be FPs eyes and ears in the community.

Theyll get paid and receive school credit.

The only person not interested is Kurtz, who walks out.

Theyre GANG MEMBERS!!!

If this town werent already screwed, it definitely is now.
