If theyre so worried about Hiram catching up, might I suggest they do something other than WALK?!
What do you want to bet theyre only like 50 miles outside of Riverdale, max?
Within minutes of walking onto the property, a young girl pulls a rifle on them.
They meet Laurie Lake and Gracie, the girl with the gun.
Biff claims they were robbed on the train, so Laurie offers them some dinner.
when Jug decides to head into town to take some pictures.
They work for the Man in Black, otherwise known asHiram Lodge.
Realizing that Laurie and Gracies father works for Hiram, Jug rushes home, but hes already too late.
So naturally, Laurie knocked him out, tied him up, and called Hiram.
Lauries hoping that Hiram will exchange her father and brother for Archie, and Hiram agrees.
(Special shout-out to Jug for running without losing the shirt tied around his waist.
Either that or its permanently attached to him.)
Once they escape that situation, Jug comes up with an idea: Theyre going to see Jugs mom.
And so, they hit the road once again.
Now, shes going to be sleeping at her speakeasy.
Because no one should willingly sleep in a curved bar booth.
However, Hiram does come through when Veronica needs him.
Elio agrees, and Veronica wins.
At least they think it was him.
Its hard to tell because hes been decapitated and his hands have been sawed off.
HOWS DAD LOOKING NOW?!
Ethel is Bettys roommate and shes quick to let Betty know that she is Queen Bee in these parts.
But thats not all Ethel tells her.
Ethel, however, has no interest in behaving.
She informs Betty that Jughead is into HER now.
It seems Hiram is supplying the fizzle rocks.
After all, he was the guy that brought fizzle rocks to ascension night all those years ago.
That lands her in the infirmary, where she finds her file.
Hes using the girls here as lab rats.
Only, its been bricked up.
Did Betty honestly think they wouldnt have fixed that by now!?
Shes smarter than that!
In fact, all the stories worked for me this week.
Well done,Riverdale.
