I'm behind with an episode but man do I dislike Betty for having treated Chuck like she did earlier in the season. She got some serious issues. But I also feel bad for her the way Jughead treated her for having thrown together that party. He remind some of myself. And I really don't like Valerie either, I just don't see the chemistry between her and Archie, and talking about chemistry, I'm glad Betty and Jugheads relationship is over, hopefully. Or maybe just let it develop for a bit.

I also don't get how Chuck, Cheryl and their friends can just crash the party, yeah I mean Archie was up for the party but they should have really just kicked them out of there.

I kind of like Archie and Ronnie together. They looked sweet.

Also my prediction from the start of Jughead being the killer was totally off and I don't know what drugs I had been taking after the pilot lol. Very interesting though and I'm looking forward to next week.

But is there one or two guns at play? Didn't the Coopers have the gun from fake Grundy at their place? And now a gun was planted at FBs place?

So either Jason's dad is the killer or the writers are trying REALLY hard to fake out Twin Peaks fans.
Already suspicious just by being the murder victim's father, but the hair going white overnight?

Lol that's what I said. I would've been like "Nope, y'all got to roll up on outta here." I think they literally locked everyone in to. Haha. But it's more fun when the baddies get away with everything

I almost want to change my suspect to Hal, I'm halfway convinced

Archie doesn't want to offend his team mates which is why he caves. He is trying to be everyone's friend, which mainly leads to people being mad at him.

Did they ever revisit the plot point of Hal stealing the stuff from the Sheriff's office?

No, but I think it'll be addressed in the next two episodes.

What they've failed to address almost completely is Archie's nightmares from hazing. Unless that ties into the killer, I'm not sure if they'll ever resolve that plot point.

I think the killer is Mr.Blossom, he was way to happy hearing that Cheryl flushed the ring. Any ideas on where Season 2 could go, will it have a central plotline like this one ?

The irony of this gif is Skeet Ulrich(FP Jones) is also in Scream.

The aspect of the murder/coverup plot that I have the hardest time figuring out is how F.P. connects to the murderer. If you assume he knows who he's working for, said person is taking a pretty big risk framing him, since it seems like he'd have no reason not to give up whoever it was who hired him.

Either I missed an episode or I completely blocked that out, when was Archie hazed?

During his talent show when looking at the football team he imagined them in mask. I can't remember if it was referenced any other time this season.

The hazing was also part of the Riverdale companion comic.

Oh, I thought that was just his stage fright.

If it happened in the comics it's not a plot point for the show. Tie in works don't count.

I don't think it was just stage fright. He opened up a chest in his room, and in there was a wolf mask. That plus the whole stage thing makes me thing it's meant to be tied to something else.

Oh, cause didn't she have the gun that Betty stole from Grundy?

So she stashed it in FP's trailer to frame him.

Tho I jumped to wild conclusions cause the evidence would vindicate him quick thru ballistics and shit.

To be fair though, I think that does make sense in terms of a Chekov's gun scenario:

- Fake Grundy having a gun, taken by Betty
- Betty's mom finds it, keeps it as insurance to frame someone
- She was one of the few that knew FP's dad would be away

Then again, she would need an accomplice to pull it off. She's a former serpent though, so maybe she called someone to do it?


Edit: upon further thinking, it would need to be someone who also knew that Jughead and Betty were looking for the car before it was torched.

But there's still no hazing plot line.

Why do you assume the gun they found was Grundy's gun. And what motive would Alice even have to frame FP, she mistrusts him and thinks he might have done it but she doesn't have a personal vendetta against him at least not to such a degree that she would frame him for murder.

And if for some reason she wanted to frame him, why have Archie and Veronica look for evidence? That would have been completely unnecessary, all she needed to do was stash the gun there, call the cops and wait.
Archie and Veronica now know FP was framed because the gun wasn't there when they searched the trailer, why on earth would Alice create a scenario were two teenagers know FP was framed when she's the one framing him?

Sure. But we really don't know what it references, if anything.It made sense to me it was some football inititiation type thing. But who knows. I'm just curious if the show will address this plot thread this season. There's more to this than just stage fright.

Mark Consuelos was cast as Hiram Lodge.

Click to expand...
There is a catch, though: Consuelos currently co-stars on Fox’s baseball drama Pitch as general manager Oscar Arguella, and his Riverdale casting is in second position to Pitch, so he’d have to drop the Riverdale role if Pitch is renewed for a second season.
Click to expand...
Yeah, like Pitch is getting renewed. :lol

And it was cancelled so now he's free.

Still sticking to my original theory that
---Dilton---
is either the killer or somehow closely involved to it. The character made a sudden reappearance at the birthday party, which felt to me like the writers subtly reminding people of their existence.

Dilton as the killer would be weird, he had three small appearances during the season, that would be very anti climactic.

Based off the promo, which the CW app showed me 10,000 times last night, my super final ultimate mega killer guess is:
Hal Cooper because REVENGE!

It's obviously going to be Smithers, because the butler is always the one who did it.

But for real, sticking with Polly as my prime suspect. Dark Betty was our clue that Dark Polly is a thing too
