1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,365
Previously on Riverdale...
2
00:00:01,367 --> 00:00:03,200
Polly's our woman on the inside.
3
00:00:03,202 --> 00:00:05,168
Blossom's had something
to do with Jason's death.
4
00:00:05,170 --> 00:00:06,269
And I'm gonna prove it.
5
00:00:06,271 --> 00:00:10,240
My dad hired Jughead's
dad to trash the drive-in.
6
00:00:10,243 --> 00:00:12,776
Dad, did you have anything to
do with Jason Blossom's death?
7
00:00:12,778 --> 00:00:13,844
I'm no killer.
8
00:00:13,846 --> 00:00:15,712
- Do you believe him?
- I do.
9
00:00:15,715 --> 00:00:17,456
Hiram Lodge's daughter is here.
10
00:00:17,459 --> 00:00:20,188
She said something about her father
being connected to Jason's murder.
11
00:00:20,190 --> 00:00:22,245
These kids are more on
the ball than the Sheriff.
12
00:00:23,646 --> 00:00:25,322
I'm messed up, Veronica...
13
00:00:25,324 --> 00:00:26,690
Every day I wonder,
14
00:00:26,692 --> 00:00:28,759
what if I had left
Riverdale with my mom?
15
00:00:28,761 --> 00:00:30,327
Hi, honey.
16
00:00:32,865 --> 00:00:34,965
♪ All hail ♪
17
00:00:34,967 --> 00:00:39,302
♪ Our fair Riverdale ♪
18
00:00:39,304 --> 00:00:41,605
♪ My heart rings true ♪
19
00:00:41,607 --> 00:00:44,352
People like to say that
the death of Jason Blossom
20
00:00:44,355 --> 00:00:47,210
changed everything at Riverdale High.
21
00:00:47,212 --> 00:00:49,246
But certain things, certain traditions
22
00:00:49,248 --> 00:00:50,480
never change.
23
00:00:50,483 --> 00:00:52,449
Take Homecoming, for instance.
24
00:00:52,452 --> 00:00:54,651
Though Jason's jersey had been retired,
25
00:00:54,653 --> 00:00:57,891
the Riverdale Bulldogs would
still be playing their arch-rivals,
26
00:00:57,894 --> 00:00:59,990
the Baxter High Ravens,
27
00:00:59,992 --> 00:01:02,092
with the River Vixens cheering them on.
28
00:01:02,094 --> 00:01:04,661
I'm just handing off some of
my decorating duties to Ethel
29
00:01:04,663 --> 00:01:06,596
so I can keep focusing
on the Blue and Gold.
30
00:01:06,598 --> 00:01:07,798
Unacceptable.
31
00:01:07,801 --> 00:01:10,558
You made a commitment, Ms.
Cooper, you need to honor it.
32
00:01:10,561 --> 00:01:13,473
Especially since this Homecoming
is also a Reunion Weekend.
33
00:01:13,476 --> 00:01:15,066
As in previous years,
34
00:01:15,069 --> 00:01:17,340
graduates from days of Riverdale Past
35
00:01:17,342 --> 00:01:20,032
will come to town to
relive their more youthful,
36
00:01:20,035 --> 00:01:21,735
more carefree days.
37
00:01:21,738 --> 00:01:25,609
Or to make up for lost time.
38
00:01:25,612 --> 00:01:27,884
Archie, the reason why I came...
39
00:01:27,887 --> 00:01:29,867
You came because of the divorce.
40
00:01:30,763 --> 00:01:32,063
Because I called Dad.
41
00:01:32,066 --> 00:01:36,092
You know, I thought that Riverdale
would be better for you than Chicago.
42
00:01:36,094 --> 00:01:38,028
- It would be safer...
- It's okay, Mom.
43
00:01:39,451 --> 00:01:40,617
Really, I'm okay.
44
00:01:42,509 --> 00:01:44,334
And I mean, it hasn't been all bad.
45
00:01:44,336 --> 00:01:45,936
My friends are amazing.
46
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:48,805
Dad and I are closer than
ever right now. And also...
47
00:01:48,807 --> 00:01:49,973
You've been singing.
48
00:01:49,976 --> 00:01:51,916
Songwriting, yeah. And singing.
49
00:01:51,919 --> 00:01:54,611
And your dad tells me that you're great.
50
00:01:54,613 --> 00:01:56,780
I hope you'll play me
some songs before I go.
51
00:01:56,782 --> 00:01:57,948
Yeah, for sure.
52
00:01:57,951 --> 00:02:02,004
I'm playing at the dance. So, if
you want to see me play live...
53
00:02:06,185 --> 00:02:07,851
That's incredible, Paul.
54
00:02:07,854 --> 00:02:10,427
You will keep us posted, won't you?
55
00:02:11,276 --> 00:02:13,109
Okay, thanks... Thank you.
56
00:02:14,312 --> 00:02:15,545
Some good news for a change?
57
00:02:15,548 --> 00:02:17,501
That was your dad's attorney.
58
00:02:17,504 --> 00:02:19,603
Turns out, our statements
did make a difference
59
00:02:19,605 --> 00:02:21,845
and the judge seems inclined
to give your father a break.
60
00:02:21,848 --> 00:02:23,139
How much of a break?
61
00:02:23,141 --> 00:02:25,375
Time served. A few more months, if that.
62
00:02:25,377 --> 00:02:26,943
And then what?
63
00:02:26,945 --> 00:02:28,278
We move back to New York?
64
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,713
Or your father moves here.
65
00:02:29,715 --> 00:02:31,381
What about the crimes he's committed?
66
00:02:31,384 --> 00:02:34,217
Including, maybe, Jason Blossom.
67
00:02:34,219 --> 00:02:35,919
Stop it, Veronica.
68
00:02:35,922 --> 00:02:38,622
There is no proof that your father
had anything to do with that.
69
00:02:38,624 --> 00:02:40,690
He's in jail because
of the Blossoms, Mom,
70
00:02:40,692 --> 00:02:42,125
that gives him a motive.
71
00:02:42,127 --> 00:02:46,111
Okay. Veronica, you need to
be supporting your father,
72
00:02:46,114 --> 00:02:47,881
not demonizing him...
73
00:02:47,884 --> 00:02:50,833
Again, for things that
you have no proof of.
74
00:03:11,337 --> 00:03:12,503
Dad,
75
00:03:12,506 --> 00:03:14,311
have you been body-snatched?
76
00:03:14,314 --> 00:03:15,859
Oh, I feel good, Jug.
77
00:03:16,189 --> 00:03:17,489
Wanna look good, too.
78
00:03:17,923 --> 00:03:20,096
Shave. Clean the place up a bit.
79
00:03:20,098 --> 00:03:21,398
A little paint...
80
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,066
Oh, I got us some coffee and donuts.
81
00:03:23,068 --> 00:03:25,168
And I read your, uh... Your essay?
82
00:03:25,170 --> 00:03:26,469
Manuscript?
83
00:03:26,471 --> 00:03:28,104
- You did?
- Yeah.
84
00:03:28,107 --> 00:03:29,978
- Really?
- I asked you for it, didn't I?
85
00:03:29,981 --> 00:03:32,773
Yeah, I don't know. I figured you
were just pretending to be interested.
86
00:03:32,775 --> 00:03:34,241
This is excellent.
87
00:03:34,244 --> 00:03:37,547
Me, I can barely string
two sentences together,
88
00:03:37,549 --> 00:03:39,303
but you... You got a gift.
89
00:03:39,306 --> 00:03:41,217
Thank God you're not wasting it.
90
00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:42,953
Mind if I ask you a couple questions?
91
00:03:42,955 --> 00:03:44,454
Yeah. Of course.
92
00:03:44,457 --> 00:03:47,069
Why Jason Blossom, huh?
93
00:03:47,072 --> 00:03:49,209
Out of all the things
you could write about,
94
00:03:49,212 --> 00:03:50,493
why pick a dead kid?
95
00:03:50,535 --> 00:03:52,917
I don't know. It was
sort like he picked me.
96
00:03:54,089 --> 00:03:56,306
Tell the story that
no one was gonna tell.
97
00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:57,734
Or even know how to tell.
98
00:03:57,737 --> 00:03:59,136
From the outside, looking in.
99
00:03:59,620 --> 00:04:00,740
Who do you think killed him?
100
00:04:01,608 --> 00:04:04,607
I mean, you and Betty are in this
deep. You gotta have an opinion.
101
00:04:05,886 --> 00:04:08,820
To me, I don't think the question is,
102
00:04:08,823 --> 00:04:09,779
"Whodunnit?"
103
00:04:09,781 --> 00:04:11,909
I think the real question is
104
00:04:11,912 --> 00:04:14,279
whether Riverdale is a place of good
105
00:04:14,282 --> 00:04:16,052
or a place of darkness and evil.
106
00:04:16,054 --> 00:04:17,220
Or both.
107
00:04:17,223 --> 00:04:18,939
Most things are both.
108
00:04:20,034 --> 00:04:21,333
Can I make one suggestion?
109
00:04:21,336 --> 00:04:24,303
That's what Betty says, and then
it's about a dozen suggestions.
110
00:04:24,305 --> 00:04:27,239
I think, at a certain point, you should
111
00:04:28,476 --> 00:04:29,942
move on.
112
00:04:29,945 --> 00:04:32,544
You can't let this be the only
story you're gonna tell, Jughead.
113
00:04:32,546 --> 00:04:34,813
Hell, it shouldn't even
be the most important one.
114
00:04:38,276 --> 00:04:39,987
Ronnie, wait up.
115
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:42,588
Hey, I just wanted to explain why
I didn't call you after the party.
116
00:04:42,590 --> 00:04:43,889
My mom showed up out of nowhere.
117
00:04:43,891 --> 00:04:45,758
It's fine, you don't
owe me an explanation.
118
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,180
Wait, Veronica,
119
00:04:47,183 --> 00:04:50,295
are we seriously not gonna talk
about what happened between us?
120
00:04:50,297 --> 00:04:51,764
Archie.
121
00:04:53,930 --> 00:04:58,070
We had a moment. A beautiful,
but fleeting moment.
122
00:04:58,073 --> 00:05:00,739
- We spent the night.
- We crashed, in separate beds.
123
00:05:00,741 --> 00:05:03,005
I don't regret anything
we said, Veronica, or did.
124
00:05:03,008 --> 00:05:04,343
Me neither,
125
00:05:04,345 --> 00:05:06,045
but I think you might
be boyfriend-worthy.
126
00:05:06,047 --> 00:05:08,881
I agree. Let's test that
theory at the Homecoming Dance.
127
00:05:08,883 --> 00:05:10,649
Unfortunately, I don't
have the bandwidth
128
00:05:10,651 --> 00:05:12,951
to explore anything
with anyone right now.
129
00:05:12,953 --> 00:05:14,353
Well, in that case,
130
00:05:14,356 --> 00:05:17,331
what if we just finally get
to sing that duet together?
131
00:05:17,334 --> 00:05:20,479
I kind of told my mom I was performing.
132
00:05:22,830 --> 00:05:25,697
Look, Archie, I'm sorry,
but for a million reasons,
133
00:05:25,699 --> 00:05:27,966
we're going to have to pretend
our moment never happened.
134
00:05:29,710 --> 00:05:30,876
I'll see you later.
135
00:05:37,820 --> 00:05:39,353
Oh, finally, close that door.
136
00:05:41,084 --> 00:05:44,450
Ladies, I need you to
look around the room.
137
00:05:44,452 --> 00:05:47,119
Whoever is not in this
room is on the table
138
00:05:47,121 --> 00:05:48,730
as a possible murder suspect.
139
00:05:48,733 --> 00:05:50,344
Including those Pussycats.
140
00:05:50,347 --> 00:05:51,790
Oh, my God, Mom...
141
00:05:52,183 --> 00:05:55,294
Now, let's talk about your father.
142
00:05:55,917 --> 00:05:59,944
He has an epic grudge
against the Blossoms, so yes.
143
00:05:59,947 --> 00:06:01,700
It's totally within
the realm of possibility
144
00:06:01,702 --> 00:06:05,392
that he hired someone
from jail to kill Jason.
145
00:06:05,395 --> 00:06:07,228
Maybe Jughead's dad.
146
00:06:07,231 --> 00:06:08,898
You really believe that?
147
00:06:08,901 --> 00:06:12,511
My dad paid Jughead's
dad to trash the drive-in.
148
00:06:12,514 --> 00:06:14,987
- Maybe he paid him to...
- Commit murder.
149
00:06:14,990 --> 00:06:18,936
And, for all we know, that gay
Greaser Serpent is an accomplice.
150
00:06:18,943 --> 00:06:20,409
And what are you basing that off of?
151
00:06:20,411 --> 00:06:23,112
That you saw FP and Joaquin talking?
152
00:06:23,114 --> 00:06:24,180
It didn't look like they were talking.
153
00:06:24,182 --> 00:06:25,748
It looked like they were conspiring.
154
00:06:25,750 --> 00:06:27,350
Conspiring about what?
155
00:06:27,352 --> 00:06:29,051
That's what I need you to find out.
156
00:06:29,054 --> 00:06:31,520
Either through Jughead or FP directly,
157
00:06:31,523 --> 00:06:34,090
without raising suspicion, of course.
158
00:06:34,092 --> 00:06:38,160
Which is why I have prepared a
seemingly innocuous list of questions.
159
00:06:38,162 --> 00:06:40,363
I already asked Jughead, point-blank,
160
00:06:40,365 --> 00:06:42,698
if he thought his father had
anything to do with Jason's death,
161
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:43,966
and he said no.
162
00:06:43,969 --> 00:06:46,702
And I believed him,
and I still believe him.
163
00:06:46,705 --> 00:06:48,571
Betty, you're too close to this.
164
00:06:48,573 --> 00:06:51,007
I'm not going to insult Jughead
165
00:06:51,009 --> 00:06:53,209
or betray him by entertaining this.
166
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,446
Now, if you'll excuse me, I
have a Homecoming Dance to plan.
167
00:06:58,751 --> 00:06:59,950
Come on, Vee, let's go.
168
00:07:45,129 --> 00:07:46,362
Mrs. Cooper?
169
00:07:46,564 --> 00:07:47,730
Yes?
170
00:07:52,525 --> 00:07:55,293
I understand why Betty doesn't
want to get in the middle of this.
171
00:07:55,296 --> 00:07:59,461
But I don't feel the same loyalty
for the Jones family that she does.
172
00:07:59,464 --> 00:08:02,044
- I'm listening.
- Helping you find out the truth
173
00:08:02,047 --> 00:08:04,859
FP will help me find out
the truth about my dad.
174
00:08:04,862 --> 00:08:07,342
And whether or not he
hired FP to kill Jason.
175
00:08:08,084 --> 00:08:10,218
What exactly are you saying, Veronica?
176
00:08:10,221 --> 00:08:11,886
I'm saying,
177
00:08:11,889 --> 00:08:16,757
if you want to go after Jughead's
dad, Mrs. Cooper, I'm in.
178
00:08:18,695 --> 00:08:19,994
Sorry to interrupt,
179
00:08:19,996 --> 00:08:21,796
but I have an announcement to make.
180
00:08:22,699 --> 00:08:25,500
One that tangentially
involves you, Betty.
181
00:08:27,170 --> 00:08:28,982
I'm bringing Polly to
the dance as my date,
182
00:08:28,985 --> 00:08:31,205
and we're campaigning as
co-queens of Homecoming Court.
183
00:08:31,207 --> 00:08:34,275
- Because why?
- Because, Nightmare Smurfette,
184
00:08:34,278 --> 00:08:38,112
by all rights, it should've been Polly
and Jason on that stage being crowned.
185
00:08:38,114 --> 00:08:39,413
This is the next best thing.
186
00:08:40,350 --> 00:08:42,216
So... Don't forget to vote,
187
00:08:42,218 --> 00:08:44,218
and I'll see everyone at my coronation!
188
00:08:45,488 --> 00:08:47,288
Betty, about the Homecoming Dance,
189
00:08:47,290 --> 00:08:49,657
can I play a couple songs?
I kind of told my mom that...
190
00:08:50,460 --> 00:08:51,592
Whoa, you don't want me to?
191
00:08:51,594 --> 00:08:54,362
No, no it's not that,
Archie, it's just, um...
192
00:08:55,021 --> 00:08:57,655
This dance needs to be fun.
193
00:08:57,658 --> 00:09:00,234
And your songs, as
amazing as they are...
194
00:09:00,236 --> 00:09:02,069
They make you wanna slit your wrists.
195
00:09:04,307 --> 00:09:06,807
- In a good way.
- In an amazing way.
196
00:09:06,810 --> 00:09:08,709
But no need to fret, Betty.
197
00:09:08,711 --> 00:09:10,411
'Cause Archie asked me to sing with him,
198
00:09:10,413 --> 00:09:13,180
and we're thinking about
doing some upbeat covers.
199
00:09:14,350 --> 00:09:15,783
We are?
200
00:09:15,786 --> 00:09:17,552
Aren't we?
201
00:09:21,868 --> 00:09:23,624
Not that I'm complaining, Ronnie,
202
00:09:23,626 --> 00:09:25,126
but why the change of heart?
203
00:09:25,128 --> 00:09:28,496
Because I'm hoping you'll say yes
to the favor I'm about to ask you.
204
00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:30,902
Hey, if it's gonna
help you, then I'm in.
205
00:09:32,391 --> 00:09:33,657
Remember when
206
00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:36,737
you heard Clifford Blossom
say he put my dad in jail?
207
00:09:38,383 --> 00:09:42,085
Well, I think my dad may have
gone after Jason as payback.
208
00:09:42,088 --> 00:09:43,978
He's very eye-for-an-eye,
209
00:09:43,980 --> 00:09:47,014
and I have a strong suspicion he hired
Jughead's dad to do his dirty work.
210
00:09:47,016 --> 00:09:50,518
Also, FP's done my dad's bidding
before. He trashed the drive-in.
211
00:09:50,521 --> 00:09:53,748
It's a big leap to go from
vandalism to murder, Ronnie.
212
00:09:53,751 --> 00:09:55,566
I talked it over with Mrs. Cooper.
213
00:09:55,569 --> 00:09:57,525
- And...
- She's a part of this? Are you nuts?
214
00:09:57,527 --> 00:09:59,860
She's gonna keep FP busy
while we search his trailer
215
00:09:59,862 --> 00:10:02,496
to find anything that links FP to Jason.
216
00:10:02,499 --> 00:10:04,165
Or, more importantly, FP to my dad.
217
00:10:04,167 --> 00:10:05,933
We should just talk to Jughead.
218
00:10:05,936 --> 00:10:08,449
No, what if he's protecting FP
219
00:10:08,452 --> 00:10:09,818
or tries to warn him?
220
00:10:09,821 --> 00:10:11,305
He's our friend, Ronnie.
221
00:10:11,307 --> 00:10:13,574
My dad is this close to being released,
222
00:10:13,577 --> 00:10:17,563
and my mom's in denial and she's ready
to welcome him back with open arms.
223
00:10:17,566 --> 00:10:20,641
Me, I'd like to know exactly who
224
00:10:20,644 --> 00:10:22,717
we're inviting back into our lives.
225
00:10:22,719 --> 00:10:24,632
Look, Veronica, I really wanna help you,
226
00:10:24,635 --> 00:10:27,046
I do, and I definitely don't
want Jughead to get hurt,
227
00:10:27,049 --> 00:10:29,349
but I'm telling you,
FP's cleaned up his act.
228
00:10:29,352 --> 00:10:31,519
I hope you're right about that, Archie,
229
00:10:31,522 --> 00:10:32,893
because if not,
230
00:10:34,156 --> 00:10:38,633
Jughead could get dragged into
something very messy and very dangerous.
231
00:10:42,197 --> 00:10:45,595
- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.Addic7ed.com --
232
00:10:48,274 --> 00:10:51,519
- Hermione, hi.
- Mary Andrews?
233
00:10:51,522 --> 00:10:54,011
What... What are you doing in town?
234
00:10:54,014 --> 00:10:56,141
Oh just a spur-of-the-moment visit.
235
00:10:56,593 --> 00:10:58,716
I was hoping to
surprise Fred with lunch.
236
00:10:58,719 --> 00:11:00,326
Oh, he's off-site.
237
00:11:00,329 --> 00:11:02,586
He's picking up some
supplies from a vendor.
238
00:11:02,588 --> 00:11:04,622
Yeah, he told me that
you were working for him.
239
00:11:04,624 --> 00:11:05,890
With him.
240
00:11:07,126 --> 00:11:09,360
Yeah, he says he admires your chutzpah.
241
00:11:09,363 --> 00:11:11,337
That's a very Fred thing to say, huh?
242
00:11:11,340 --> 00:11:12,902
Yeah, but in this case, I agree.
243
00:11:13,790 --> 00:11:15,423
You know, I've been following the news.
244
00:11:17,470 --> 00:11:18,669
Yeah.
245
00:11:18,956 --> 00:11:22,473
Karmic payback for being such a
mean girl in high school, I suppose.
246
00:11:37,657 --> 00:11:40,291
Polly, thank God, what's going on?
247
00:11:40,293 --> 00:11:43,594
And why are you running to be
Homecoming co-queen with Cheryl?
248
00:11:43,596 --> 00:11:44,895
To keep her distracted.
249
00:11:44,897 --> 00:11:45,996
Did you find something?
250
00:11:45,998 --> 00:11:47,903
Not yet, but they're
definitely hiding things.
251
00:11:47,906 --> 00:11:49,100
Remember our deal, Polly,
252
00:11:49,102 --> 00:11:51,068
if you don't find anything
by Homecoming, it's over
253
00:11:51,070 --> 00:11:52,336
you're coming home.
254
00:11:52,339 --> 00:11:53,938
I just have to get into their bedroom.
255
00:11:53,940 --> 00:11:55,706
They protect it obsessively.
256
00:11:55,709 --> 00:11:58,552
Well, you're not putting
yourself in any danger, are you?
257
00:12:00,046 --> 00:12:01,746
Betty, I gotta go, I'm sorry.
258
00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:05,898
Your daily milkshake.
259
00:12:07,343 --> 00:12:09,510
- You must be famished.
- Mmm-hmm.
260
00:12:09,513 --> 00:12:12,423
What, with all the
exploring you've been doing.
261
00:12:15,361 --> 00:12:17,394
The East Wing, where Mr. Blossom and I
262
00:12:17,396 --> 00:12:20,264
have our sleeping
quarters, is out of bounds.
263
00:12:20,266 --> 00:12:23,601
Mr. Blossom values his
privacy. You understand.
264
00:12:23,604 --> 00:12:26,036
I'm so sorry. It won't happen again.
265
00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:28,506
Good.
266
00:12:35,148 --> 00:12:36,313
Thanks.
267
00:12:36,683 --> 00:12:37,882
Hey, you.
268
00:12:39,314 --> 00:12:41,274
- Why didn't you tell me about the dinner?
- What?
269
00:12:41,277 --> 00:12:43,087
Your mom basically
tackled me in the hall
270
00:12:43,089 --> 00:12:46,086
to invite my dad and I
over before the dance.
271
00:12:46,089 --> 00:12:47,522
Did you not know?
272
00:12:47,525 --> 00:12:50,363
No, no, of course, I've
just, you know, got so many...
273
00:12:50,366 --> 00:12:52,684
Plates are spinning...
274
00:12:52,687 --> 00:12:55,599
I'm a little terrified about
the social experiment of it all,
275
00:12:55,601 --> 00:12:57,468
but I think it's good
276
00:12:57,471 --> 00:12:59,253
for our families to
get to know each other.
277
00:13:00,373 --> 00:13:03,974
I think it's important for us. You know?
278
00:13:03,977 --> 00:13:05,409
Yeah.
279
00:13:07,195 --> 00:13:08,728
I know what you're doing, Mom.
280
00:13:08,731 --> 00:13:10,314
Whatever do you mean?
I'm making peach pie
281
00:13:10,316 --> 00:13:11,615
for our guests.
282
00:13:11,618 --> 00:13:13,584
No, you're laying out some kind of trap
283
00:13:13,586 --> 00:13:14,785
for Jughead's dad.
284
00:13:14,788 --> 00:13:16,687
On the contrary, Betty,
285
00:13:16,689 --> 00:13:18,789
I took what you said earlier to heart.
286
00:13:18,791 --> 00:13:21,545
So you're not going to question Jughead
or his dad about the murder then?
287
00:13:21,547 --> 00:13:25,240
I mean, only if it happens to come
up as casual dinner conversation.
288
00:13:25,243 --> 00:13:28,232
I'm not playing this game with you, Mom.
289
00:13:28,235 --> 00:13:29,700
And neither is Jughead,
290
00:13:29,702 --> 00:13:31,902
not after I tell him
what you're planning here.
291
00:13:31,905 --> 00:13:34,612
Are you sure that's a good idea, Betty?
292
00:13:34,615 --> 00:13:38,375
When I invited Jughead,
he seemed so excited.
293
00:13:38,378 --> 00:13:40,110
Like it really meant a lot to him
294
00:13:40,112 --> 00:13:42,213
that our families are gonna
get to know each other.
295
00:13:45,081 --> 00:13:46,447
That's all I'm after, honey.
296
00:13:47,367 --> 00:13:49,367
FP is innocent, Mom.
297
00:13:50,623 --> 00:13:53,290
Jughead said so, and I trust him.
298
00:13:53,293 --> 00:13:57,995
I'm sure the question of FP's guilt or
innocence won't even come up at dinner.
299
00:14:06,739 --> 00:14:08,606
Now, this is pretty good.
300
00:14:08,609 --> 00:14:10,574
Oh, there he is.
301
00:14:10,577 --> 00:14:14,394
Son, your mom and I are trying to
decide between pizza and Chinese food.
302
00:14:14,397 --> 00:14:17,231
- What do you think?
- Uh... We always do pizza.
303
00:14:17,234 --> 00:14:20,451
Let me guess. Pepperoni and red pepper?
304
00:14:20,453 --> 00:14:22,353
All right, so, Moon
Palace, they still deliver.
305
00:14:22,355 --> 00:14:24,622
- We can get, um...
- General Tso's chicken,
306
00:14:24,624 --> 00:14:27,825
scallion pancakes, vegetable
dumplings, family-style.
307
00:14:28,997 --> 00:14:30,163
What's wrong, son?
308
00:14:31,183 --> 00:14:32,382
Huh? Nothing.
309
00:14:33,641 --> 00:14:36,867
I'm just... I'm not used to coming
home and seeing you guys together.
310
00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:38,035
It's nice, but...
311
00:14:41,589 --> 00:14:43,722
- Hello?
- Jughead, hey.
312
00:14:44,475 --> 00:14:47,644
Am I interrupting a family
meeting? 'Cause I can come back.
313
00:14:47,647 --> 00:14:48,769
Absolutely not.
314
00:14:48,772 --> 00:14:50,305
So, who's going to the dance?
315
00:14:50,308 --> 00:14:53,851
Besides your dad and me... Oh,
and Hermione, whom I invited.
316
00:14:53,853 --> 00:14:55,686
- You did?
- We'll talk about it.
317
00:14:55,688 --> 00:14:58,094
Wait, you guys are going
to the dance? Together?
318
00:14:58,097 --> 00:15:01,227
We were talking about it.
319
00:15:01,230 --> 00:15:03,930
We both want to hear you play,
if that's still happening.
320
00:15:03,933 --> 00:15:05,165
If you're good with it.
321
00:15:07,079 --> 00:15:09,613
Yeah, totally. I'm great with it.
322
00:15:09,616 --> 00:15:11,982
- Good.
- So the worm turns.
323
00:15:11,985 --> 00:15:13,218
Mary and Fred.
324
00:15:14,453 --> 00:15:15,585
A possible rekindling?
325
00:15:15,587 --> 00:15:17,587
That would've been a
Li'l Archie's pipe dream.
326
00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:19,311
Stranger things have happened, man.
327
00:15:20,225 --> 00:15:24,094
Like for instance, my dad shaved.
328
00:15:24,097 --> 00:15:26,547
Which is the equivalent of
tectonic plates shifting.
329
00:15:28,555 --> 00:15:31,990
I was thinking, maybe it's time
I go back and live with him again.
330
00:15:32,891 --> 00:15:34,458
Based on the fact that he shaved?
331
00:15:34,461 --> 00:15:37,407
Well, he also hasn't
missed a day of work,
332
00:15:37,410 --> 00:15:39,352
and he quit drinking.
333
00:15:39,355 --> 00:15:40,805
That's... That's great, Jughead.
334
00:15:40,808 --> 00:15:43,547
But maybe you should wait a little
bit longer just to make sure it sticks.
335
00:15:43,549 --> 00:15:45,782
No, dude, I'm telling
you, something has shifted.
336
00:15:45,785 --> 00:15:48,451
I mean, he even asked to read my work.
337
00:15:49,180 --> 00:15:51,321
The essays, the articles
I wrote about Jason.
338
00:15:51,323 --> 00:15:52,756
- Your dad did?
- Yeah.
339
00:15:52,758 --> 00:15:53,924
And he read them.
340
00:15:53,927 --> 00:15:56,493
Even more surprisingly,
he engaged with them.
341
00:15:56,495 --> 00:15:57,961
He asked me questions about them.
342
00:15:57,964 --> 00:16:00,730
- What kind of questions?
- Like who I thought did it.
343
00:16:00,732 --> 00:16:02,899
Your dad asked you who you
thought killed Jason Blossom?
344
00:16:02,901 --> 00:16:06,503
You repeating everything I'm
saying is getting really annoying.
345
00:16:06,506 --> 00:16:11,141
Crap l forgot. My mom likes
almond milk in her coffee,
346
00:16:11,143 --> 00:16:12,547
and we don't have any, so...
347
00:16:12,550 --> 00:16:13,716
I'm gonna go get some.
348
00:16:14,321 --> 00:16:17,147
Well, you are a terrible liar, Archie.
349
00:16:17,150 --> 00:16:21,065
Off to a late-night rendezvous with
a certain raven-haired princess?
350
00:16:22,401 --> 00:16:25,569
Relax, man, I'm just
giving you a hard time.
351
00:16:33,434 --> 00:16:34,599
Archie.
352
00:16:39,037 --> 00:16:40,537
If this is a booty call...
353
00:16:40,539 --> 00:16:42,505
Look, I've been thinking
about what you asked me.
354
00:16:42,508 --> 00:16:43,774
I wanna help you.
355
00:16:43,777 --> 00:16:46,109
What prompted this return to sanity?
356
00:16:46,112 --> 00:16:47,544
Jughead.
357
00:16:48,113 --> 00:16:50,842
He's been hurt and let down
by his dad so many times.
358
00:16:51,783 --> 00:16:53,483
And what if FP did help your dad?
359
00:16:53,485 --> 00:16:55,316
That's what I'm saying, what if?
360
00:16:55,319 --> 00:16:56,585
But, Veronica...
361
00:16:57,531 --> 00:16:59,531
Jughead can never find out.
362
00:16:59,534 --> 00:17:01,424
And neither can Betty.
363
00:17:14,066 --> 00:17:15,566
Oh, Pollikins,
364
00:17:15,569 --> 00:17:18,589
it's much more fun being
friends than mortal enemies.
365
00:17:18,592 --> 00:17:21,438
And I'm glad we're honoring
Jay-Jay's legacy together.
366
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,574
This color totally pops on you.
367
00:17:23,576 --> 00:17:25,108
Okay, so I was thinking.
368
00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:27,778
The theme for the dance is
"Blast from the Past", right?
369
00:17:27,780 --> 00:17:29,813
So, I say, we go retro and borrow
370
00:17:29,815 --> 00:17:31,915
some of your mom's vintage
bling for the night.
371
00:17:31,918 --> 00:17:35,219
Ooh, you're naughty, Polly.
372
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:42,571
My mom and dad would fah-reak
if they knew we were in here.
373
00:17:42,574 --> 00:17:44,761
So let's take our sweet time.
374
00:17:45,463 --> 00:17:47,696
How many wigs does your father have?
375
00:17:47,699 --> 00:17:49,633
One for every mood.
376
00:17:51,971 --> 00:17:54,705
Legend has it that Clifford's
hair turned white overnight.
377
00:17:54,707 --> 00:17:56,907
Supposedly, he saw the
ghost of Grandpappy Blossom
378
00:17:56,909 --> 00:17:58,575
with his throat slit.
379
00:17:58,578 --> 00:18:00,911
Now, me, I love a silver fox,
380
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:03,889
but we Blossoms live
and die by our red curls.
381
00:18:03,892 --> 00:18:06,350
My father tried dying it once, but...
382
00:18:08,854 --> 00:18:10,220
But what?
383
00:18:14,226 --> 00:18:16,693
What is that? What did you find?
384
00:18:19,064 --> 00:18:20,530
My nana's ring...
385
00:18:20,533 --> 00:18:22,499
Which she gave to Jason.
386
00:18:23,170 --> 00:18:25,337
He... He proposed to me with that ring.
387
00:18:26,505 --> 00:18:28,305
So how does your mother have it?
388
00:18:29,808 --> 00:18:30,974
I...
389
00:18:32,488 --> 00:18:34,044
Hands off, Gollum.
390
00:18:34,046 --> 00:18:36,179
The only way your mom
could have that ring
391
00:18:36,181 --> 00:18:38,105
is if she or your dad got it from Jason,
392
00:18:38,108 --> 00:18:39,583
and he wouldn't have given it up.
393
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:40,884
Not over his dead body.
394
00:18:42,055 --> 00:18:43,021
Polly...
395
00:18:43,082 --> 00:18:45,555
You are carrying precious cargo,
396
00:18:46,425 --> 00:18:48,792
but if you think for one second
397
00:18:48,794 --> 00:18:51,161
that those babies guarantee your safety,
398
00:18:51,723 --> 00:18:54,023
you're in for a rude awakening.
399
00:19:06,011 --> 00:19:07,611
Super-delicious, Mrs. C.
400
00:19:07,613 --> 00:19:08,779
Sure is, Alice.
401
00:19:08,782 --> 00:19:11,927
Been a long time since I ate
something that didn't come in a
402
00:19:11,930 --> 00:19:14,814
combo meal or a snack pack.
403
00:19:15,867 --> 00:19:18,001
- So, FP...
- Mmm.
404
00:19:18,004 --> 00:19:21,391
Betty tells me that you're
working for Fred Andrews now.
405
00:19:21,394 --> 00:19:24,781
How do you balance that with all
of your other responsibilities?
406
00:19:24,784 --> 00:19:26,129
You mean like being a father?
407
00:19:26,132 --> 00:19:28,899
- And being a part of the Southside community.
- Mom.
408
00:19:28,901 --> 00:19:32,069
You can say âSouthside
Serpent,â Alice. I'm not ashamed.
409
00:19:32,072 --> 00:19:35,184
And it's not just me, there's a
bunch of us working on Fred's site.
410
00:19:35,187 --> 00:19:38,581
So, if you don't mind me
asking, I mean, I'm just curious,
411
00:19:38,584 --> 00:19:40,184
how did you make your
living before that?
412
00:19:40,918 --> 00:19:43,151
I scraped by. Odd jobs.
413
00:19:44,686 --> 00:19:48,622
I know that you worked for the
drive-in, Jughead, before it was closed.
414
00:19:48,625 --> 00:19:51,054
Did you find work there, too, FP?
415
00:19:52,458 --> 00:19:54,458
- Dad.
- Well, hung out a bit.
416
00:19:54,461 --> 00:19:56,560
What can I say? I'm a movie buff.
417
00:19:58,131 --> 00:19:59,930
So, tell me,
418
00:19:59,933 --> 00:20:03,500
were you upset when Hiram
Lodge bought the drive-in land?
419
00:20:07,339 --> 00:20:08,505
Stuff happens.
420
00:20:08,507 --> 00:20:11,174
Let me rephrase that
question. Were you surprised?
421
00:20:14,899 --> 00:20:16,913
I'll get it.
422
00:20:22,454 --> 00:20:24,121
- Hi.
- Hey.
423
00:20:24,923 --> 00:20:26,156
Right this way.
424
00:20:30,763 --> 00:20:32,554
I thought you said she
wanted me to be here.
425
00:20:32,557 --> 00:20:33,756
She does.
426
00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:35,265
I mean, it is Homecoming after all.
427
00:20:35,267 --> 00:20:39,002
And our families should
be coming together.
428
00:20:39,005 --> 00:20:40,904
Right, Mom?
429
00:20:48,847 --> 00:20:50,647
It's the same as when we were kids.
430
00:20:59,992 --> 00:21:02,359
You start in the bedroom,
I'll start in here.
431
00:21:10,436 --> 00:21:12,235
You wanted an explanation.
432
00:21:13,462 --> 00:21:15,796
The last time Clifford saw Jason
433
00:21:17,460 --> 00:21:20,461
was the day my son washed
his hands of our family.
434
00:21:22,182 --> 00:21:25,183
Jason wanted nothing more
to do with the Blossom name,
435
00:21:26,258 --> 00:21:27,557
nor our lineage.
436
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,660
Including the ring, which he threw in
Clifford's face as his final rebuke.
437
00:21:34,163 --> 00:21:36,787
Clifford then gave the
ring to me for safekeeping.
438
00:21:38,831 --> 00:21:39,996
I...
439
00:21:40,512 --> 00:21:42,145
I thought the ring had been lost...
440
00:21:44,875 --> 00:21:46,441
Nothing's lost forever.
441
00:21:48,409 --> 00:21:50,409
Everything comes back.
442
00:21:54,415 --> 00:21:57,016
Now. Unless you have any more questions,
443
00:21:57,716 --> 00:22:00,183
I'll leave you to finish
getting ready for the dance.
444
00:22:04,859 --> 00:22:07,293
And drink up, dear. Before it melts.
445
00:22:21,442 --> 00:22:24,944
I'm hoping maybe you have some
vacancies down at Sunnyside.
446
00:22:25,576 --> 00:22:28,520
You see, I've been sleeping
in my office down at the paper,
447
00:22:28,523 --> 00:22:30,935
and it's just getting a
little chilly at night.
448
00:22:30,938 --> 00:22:33,219
I bet your office
beats the trailer park.
449
00:22:33,221 --> 00:22:34,754
I wouldn't be so sure.
450
00:22:34,756 --> 00:22:38,124
You see, Alice here, she's
been redecorating the Register.
451
00:22:38,127 --> 00:22:41,560
The other day, she threw
a brick through the window.
452
00:22:41,562 --> 00:22:43,297
- Is that so?
- Keep talking, Hal,
453
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:45,798
and the next brick I throw
may not be at a window.
454
00:22:47,368 --> 00:22:49,635
You remember our Homecoming, Alice?
455
00:22:49,638 --> 00:22:51,370
Hal? Back in the day?
456
00:22:51,372 --> 00:22:52,538
Castles in the Clouds?
457
00:22:52,540 --> 00:22:54,206
Your mom ever tell you about that night?
458
00:22:54,209 --> 00:22:56,869
Just that she and my
dad were king and queen.
459
00:22:56,872 --> 00:22:58,454
Yeah, they were. Of hell.
460
00:22:58,457 --> 00:23:00,891
- Dad, please.
- No, this is a fun story, I promise.
461
00:23:02,250 --> 00:23:03,416
Fred and me,
462
00:23:04,147 --> 00:23:06,748
we were all set to play at the dance.
463
00:23:06,751 --> 00:23:08,721
I was backstage, dropping off our gear
464
00:23:08,723 --> 00:23:11,590
when I heard these voices yelling.
465
00:23:12,829 --> 00:23:14,328
It was your mom and dad.
466
00:23:15,096 --> 00:23:16,176
They were fighting about...
467
00:23:18,766 --> 00:23:19,932
About I don't know what.
468
00:23:19,935 --> 00:23:21,333
But it sounded like life or death.
469
00:23:21,336 --> 00:23:22,601
Shut up, FP.
470
00:23:22,603 --> 00:23:24,203
Happy to oblige if you are.
471
00:23:27,041 --> 00:23:30,242
I don't care what you
think of me, Alice,
472
00:23:30,526 --> 00:23:33,261
but don't jerk me around.
Not in front of my son.
473
00:23:35,817 --> 00:23:37,283
This was such a nice idea, Mom,
474
00:23:37,285 --> 00:23:39,452
but I think it's time
that we get to the dance.
475
00:23:39,454 --> 00:23:41,654
So, is it okay if we skip the peach pie?
476
00:23:46,661 --> 00:23:48,508
What did you give her?
477
00:23:48,511 --> 00:23:52,497
Polly was so agitated, I gave
her an all-natural relaxer.
478
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:53,699
Nothing to hurt the babies,
479
00:23:53,701 --> 00:23:56,135
but she will sleep like
a lamb till morning.
480
00:23:57,419 --> 00:23:58,619
Was that story true?
481
00:23:59,173 --> 00:24:00,453
About how you got the ring back?
482
00:24:01,342 --> 00:24:02,541
Every word of it.
483
00:24:04,045 --> 00:24:05,911
You know, your brother rejected us,
484
00:24:05,914 --> 00:24:08,280
our way of life, our
business, everything.
485
00:24:08,282 --> 00:24:11,884
And after I had groomed
him to take over the empire.
486
00:24:13,421 --> 00:24:15,855
When really, I should
have been nurturing you.
487
00:24:16,421 --> 00:24:18,274
Jason never had the
stomach for any of it.
488
00:24:18,277 --> 00:24:20,010
But you...
489
00:24:20,595 --> 00:24:23,429
You're a Blossom, through and through.
490
00:24:24,999 --> 00:24:26,265
Okay.
491
00:24:26,837 --> 00:24:29,068
One more thing before
you go to the dance.
492
00:24:29,570 --> 00:24:31,404
Nana Blossom's ring...
493
00:24:31,407 --> 00:24:35,074
It's not in my jewelry
box, it's not with Polly.
494
00:24:35,910 --> 00:24:37,243
Where is it?
495
00:24:37,246 --> 00:24:40,012
It wasn't my fault, it was Polly's.
496
00:24:40,015 --> 00:24:42,182
She lunged at me, trying to get it,
497
00:24:42,185 --> 00:24:43,251
I didn't know what to do.
498
00:24:43,254 --> 00:24:44,617
I panicked.
499
00:24:44,619 --> 00:24:46,116
I thought it would
be better for everyone
500
00:24:46,118 --> 00:24:47,953
if the ring were just gone.
501
00:24:47,955 --> 00:24:49,321
Down the drain.
502
00:24:49,323 --> 00:24:51,757
That way, if Polly ever
said anything to anyone,
503
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,428
there'd be no proof. Just her word
504
00:24:56,247 --> 00:24:57,513
against ours.
505
00:25:00,334 --> 00:25:02,001
Did I do something wrong?
506
00:25:02,004 --> 00:25:03,302
No...
507
00:25:03,305 --> 00:25:05,404
It's quite right what you did.
508
00:25:26,861 --> 00:25:29,161
Look, I checked everywhere. Twice.
509
00:25:29,163 --> 00:25:30,904
But there's nothing weird
or dangerous-looking.
510
00:25:30,906 --> 00:25:33,999
Same out here, just tumbleweeds
and dust bunnies, that's it.
511
00:25:34,002 --> 00:25:35,835
- We need to keep looking.
- Veronica.
512
00:25:35,837 --> 00:25:37,957
- Somewhere, there's something that proves it.
- What?
513
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,839
What are we even looking for, Ronnie?
514
00:25:39,841 --> 00:25:41,841
A signed contract between
Jughead's dad and yours?
515
00:25:41,843 --> 00:25:43,286
I doubt they're that stupid...
516
00:25:43,289 --> 00:25:45,089
We'll switch... I'll take
the bedroom this time.
517
00:25:45,091 --> 00:25:48,080
You wanted to see if we would find
anything incriminating, and we didn't.
518
00:25:48,082 --> 00:25:49,281
Then we'll look somewhere else.
519
00:25:49,283 --> 00:25:50,916
Outside or under the trailer.
520
00:25:50,918 --> 00:25:52,117
Veronica,
521
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:53,518
what do you want?
522
00:25:53,521 --> 00:25:55,120
Do you want your dad to be guilty?
523
00:25:55,122 --> 00:25:56,889
I want to know, Archie.
524
00:25:57,725 --> 00:25:59,558
One way or the other, I need to be sure.
525
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,627
We can keep looking forever, Ronnie,
526
00:26:02,163 --> 00:26:03,344
and never find anything.
527
00:26:03,347 --> 00:26:04,947
Then what about when he comes home?
528
00:26:04,950 --> 00:26:06,065
I'm not sure.
529
00:26:07,235 --> 00:26:08,868
But I'll be right there, next to you,
530
00:26:08,870 --> 00:26:11,337
doing what I can to
help. If you'll let me.
531
00:26:12,273 --> 00:26:13,672
And maybe I'm wrong,
532
00:26:13,675 --> 00:26:16,635
but not finding anything
tonight feels like a win.
533
00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:19,912
A major win for the home team.
534
00:26:21,158 --> 00:26:22,558
What?
535
00:26:23,249 --> 00:26:24,415
Just...
536
00:26:25,620 --> 00:26:27,820
"Yea, though I walk through
the Valley of Darkness,
537
00:26:27,822 --> 00:26:33,025
and Archie Andrews is there with
a smile and a sports metaphor."
538
00:26:44,605 --> 00:26:45,838
It's Mrs. Cooper.
539
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,006
We need to go, right now.
540
00:26:47,008 --> 00:26:48,641
FP could be on his way home, let's go.
541
00:27:01,562 --> 00:27:03,361
You be a gentleman tonight, okay?
542
00:27:03,364 --> 00:27:05,111
He always is, Mr. Jones.
543
00:27:08,869 --> 00:27:10,702
Betty, would you mind
giving us just a minute?
544
00:27:10,704 --> 00:27:12,604
No, of course. Take
your time. Thank you.
545
00:27:19,213 --> 00:27:20,412
What's up?
546
00:27:20,981 --> 00:27:22,514
Look, I've been thinking.
547
00:27:24,151 --> 00:27:26,184
I mean, if it's all right with you...
548
00:27:27,688 --> 00:27:29,087
I could come back.
549
00:27:30,435 --> 00:27:32,168
And I could... I could come back home.
550
00:27:33,227 --> 00:27:34,893
I'll do you one better.
551
00:27:35,829 --> 00:27:37,896
It's time the whole
family gets back together.
552
00:27:37,898 --> 00:27:40,332
Us, your mom, Jellybean.
553
00:27:40,914 --> 00:27:42,781
They've got a sweet set-up in Toledo,
554
00:27:42,784 --> 00:27:45,251
- there's decent work there...
- In Toledo?
555
00:27:45,850 --> 00:27:47,049
Well, why not Riverdale?
556
00:27:47,052 --> 00:27:49,074
'Cause of dinners like we just had.
557
00:27:49,076 --> 00:27:50,542
And what you're writing
about in your book.
558
00:27:50,544 --> 00:27:53,878
And hell, you know what happens to
people like us in Riverdale, Jug.
559
00:27:54,648 --> 00:27:55,947
We get chewed up.
560
00:28:07,527 --> 00:28:09,761
Well, it's not the Met Ball, but...
561
00:28:10,931 --> 00:28:12,797
Thanks for letting me tag along, Fred.
562
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,706
It was Mary's idea.
563
00:28:14,709 --> 00:28:17,135
Always like to have a
beautiful woman on my arm.
564
00:28:17,137 --> 00:28:18,403
Tonight, I have two.
565
00:28:18,405 --> 00:28:21,306
Meanwhile, I'm having major deja vu.
566
00:28:21,308 --> 00:28:23,008
Remember when this was our lives?
567
00:28:23,010 --> 00:28:24,776
The best of times...
568
00:28:25,875 --> 00:28:28,913
Betty, tonight after the dance, I'd
like to talk to you about something.
569
00:28:28,915 --> 00:28:30,048
It has to do with my dad.
570
00:28:30,051 --> 00:28:31,516
Is everything okay?
571
00:28:31,519 --> 00:28:32,884
Yeah...
572
00:28:32,887 --> 00:28:34,567
Actually, things are great.
573
00:28:34,570 --> 00:28:36,187
Better than they've been in a while.
574
00:28:36,189 --> 00:28:37,989
I just kind of wanna figure
something out together.
575
00:28:37,991 --> 00:28:38,990
Mmm-hmm.
576
00:28:38,993 --> 00:28:40,192
Oh, God...
577
00:28:40,195 --> 00:28:42,394
Will you be okay alone
here for a second?
578
00:28:42,396 --> 00:28:43,662
I think I should be fine.
579
00:28:44,431 --> 00:28:45,830
I'll be right back.
580
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,135
Cheryl? Hey. Where's Polly?
581
00:28:50,137 --> 00:28:51,303
She's fine.
582
00:28:52,306 --> 00:28:54,488
She sugar-crashed and
canceled at the last minute,
583
00:28:54,491 --> 00:28:55,891
leaving me high and dry,
584
00:28:55,894 --> 00:28:59,604
which is why I'm never doing
anything nice for anyone ever again.
585
00:28:59,607 --> 00:29:00,807
Excuse me.
586
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,854
Well, well, well... Mary Andrews.
587
00:29:09,856 --> 00:29:12,691
Well, well, well... Alice Cooper.
588
00:29:12,693 --> 00:29:15,299
Saw you swanning in earlier
with Fred and Hermione.
589
00:29:15,302 --> 00:29:17,629
I didn't realize that
you were a polyamorist.
590
00:29:17,632 --> 00:29:19,838
I don't think that's an actual word.
591
00:29:19,841 --> 00:29:21,766
- It's a compliment, Mary.
- Huh.
592
00:29:21,768 --> 00:29:23,938
I couldnul be seen in the
same room with those two.
593
00:29:23,941 --> 00:29:25,737
Not after all their monkey business.
594
00:29:27,308 --> 00:29:28,506
Oh...
595
00:29:29,042 --> 00:29:30,141
Oh... Did you not know?
596
00:29:30,143 --> 00:29:32,778
You have been playing the
same game since junior high
597
00:29:32,781 --> 00:29:34,881
and it was tired even back then.
598
00:29:34,884 --> 00:29:37,182
Fred is a big boy, he
can do as he pleases.
599
00:29:37,185 --> 00:29:40,518
I came here tonight to have
fun with both of my dates.
600
00:29:40,521 --> 00:29:42,287
So, if you have a problem with that...
601
00:29:43,724 --> 00:29:44,889
I have to take this.
602
00:29:49,763 --> 00:29:50,962
Hey, Kev...
603
00:29:50,965 --> 00:29:53,058
Have you seen Archie and Veronica?
604
00:29:54,468 --> 00:29:56,000
Oh, never mind, I see them.
605
00:30:02,743 --> 00:30:04,075
What the hell?
606
00:30:12,219 --> 00:30:13,518
There you are, Ms. Cooper.
607
00:30:13,521 --> 00:30:16,688
Mayor McCoy would like to review
the evening's itinerary with you.
608
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,262
What can I do for you, Mayor McCoy?
609
00:30:18,265 --> 00:30:21,259
Well, firstly, I was wondering...
610
00:30:39,579 --> 00:30:42,002
- Would you walk me up?
- I'm sorry. What?
611
00:30:42,005 --> 00:30:42,981
To the stage?
612
00:30:42,983 --> 00:30:44,282
Oh...
613
00:30:44,284 --> 00:30:46,861
Actually, Principal Weatherbee,
will you do the honors?
614
00:30:46,864 --> 00:30:48,397
I have to... Go.
615
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,632
Excuse me.
616
00:30:53,972 --> 00:30:55,671
Where were you guys?
617
00:30:57,866 --> 00:30:59,442
We stopped... We stopped at Pop's.
618
00:30:59,444 --> 00:31:01,311
And what were you just
talking to my mom about?
619
00:31:01,313 --> 00:31:03,147
- Betty...
- Guys, can we table this?
620
00:31:03,150 --> 00:31:04,481
We gotta get ready.
621
00:31:04,483 --> 00:31:05,648
Come on.
622
00:31:06,885 --> 00:31:09,819
Friends, students and alumni.
623
00:31:09,822 --> 00:31:12,555
I hope you brought your dancing shoes.
624
00:31:12,557 --> 00:31:14,824
Please join me in welcoming to the stage
625
00:31:14,826 --> 00:31:19,662

So, Archie and Veronica are...
671
00:34:11,490 --> 00:34:13,583
We haven't exactly had the conversation,
672
00:34:13,586 --> 00:34:16,120
but the Magic 8-Ball says, "Yes."
673
00:34:16,123 --> 00:34:19,544
You Andrews men are such players.
674
00:34:25,457 --> 00:34:28,605
This is the first time I've brought
a boyfriend to one of these things.
675
00:34:28,608 --> 00:34:31,990
This is the first time
I've really had a boyfriend.
676
00:34:31,993 --> 00:34:35,509
Mostly it's been hook-ups
with closeted guys.
677
00:34:37,696 --> 00:34:39,563
Hey, guys, sorry to interrupt.
678
00:34:39,566 --> 00:34:40,899
Have you seen Betty anywhere?
679
00:34:40,901 --> 00:34:42,767
You all need tracking devices.
680
00:34:42,770 --> 00:34:45,971
I think she was headed out to the
hall with Veronica and maybe Archie.
681
00:34:45,973 --> 00:34:47,138
Thanks.
682
00:34:58,107 --> 00:34:59,907
Before you get mad, let me explain.
683
00:34:59,910 --> 00:35:00,817
Explain what?
684
00:35:00,819 --> 00:35:02,886
That you're working with
my mom behind my back?
685
00:35:02,888 --> 00:35:06,423
I'm sorry, Bee, but you know FP had
some kind of arrangement with my dad.
686
00:35:06,425 --> 00:35:08,425
I had to make sure it
wasn't about Jason Blossom.
687
00:35:08,427 --> 00:35:09,793
And what's your excuse?
688
00:35:09,795 --> 00:35:12,596
I was looking out for Jughead
in case FP was doing shady stuff.
689
00:35:12,598 --> 00:35:14,464
- To protect him.
- Blame me, Betty.
690
00:35:14,466 --> 00:35:15,832
I asked Archie to help me.
691
00:35:15,834 --> 00:35:18,525
Help you do what? What did you two do?
692
00:35:18,528 --> 00:35:20,904
Guys... Betty...
693
00:35:25,077 --> 00:35:26,243
What's going on?
694
00:35:26,246 --> 00:35:28,945
Why do I feel like
I'm suddenly left out?
695
00:35:32,684 --> 00:35:34,851
Do you want to tell him or should I?
696
00:35:35,421 --> 00:35:36,620
Tell me what?
697
00:35:40,459 --> 00:35:42,359
We went to your dad's trailer to...
698
00:35:42,362 --> 00:35:44,361
To search it, Jughead.
699
00:35:44,364 --> 00:35:47,964
- Why would you guys do that?
- My mom put them up to it.
700
00:35:47,966 --> 00:35:50,333
She was convinced he was
hiding something about Jason.
701
00:35:50,335 --> 00:35:52,936
We were wrong. All of us.
We didn't find anything.
702
00:35:52,938 --> 00:35:54,671
And Jug, we were only
doing it to prove that...
703
00:35:54,673 --> 00:35:56,506
That my dad wasn't a murderer?
704
00:35:59,077 --> 00:36:01,344
- You went behind my back, Archie?
- Jug...
705
00:36:02,047 --> 00:36:03,447
How did you...
706
00:36:03,450 --> 00:36:05,830
When did you guys know
to go to my dad's trailer?
707
00:36:05,833 --> 00:36:07,153
We knew he'd be at dinner with...
708
00:36:09,688 --> 00:36:10,887
No...
709
00:36:16,328 --> 00:36:18,428
That's why your mom invited
my dad and I to dinner?
710
00:36:18,430 --> 00:36:20,163
So these two could
break into my his trailer
711
00:36:20,165 --> 00:36:21,331
while she interrogated him?
712
00:36:21,333 --> 00:36:23,834
No, I didn't know what they were doing.
713
00:36:25,971 --> 00:36:28,438
But yes, that is why
she invited you guys.
714
00:36:30,242 --> 00:36:32,742
To think I was gonna
pass on moving to Toledo
715
00:36:32,744 --> 00:36:34,611
with my family for you.
716
00:36:35,223 --> 00:36:36,422
What?
717
00:36:36,425 --> 00:36:40,276
When we went to my dad's trailer,
you asked me if I believed him.
718
00:36:40,385 --> 00:36:41,585
I said I did.
719
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,308
- Wasn't that good enough for you?
- It was. It was good enough.
720
00:36:45,311 --> 00:36:47,290
I didn't... I tried to stop her.
721
00:36:47,293 --> 00:36:50,627
You could've told me, you
could've warned me about this.
722
00:36:51,597 --> 00:36:54,364
You were so excited, Jug, I
didn't want to disappoint you.
723
00:36:54,366 --> 00:36:55,532
So instead you lied?
724
00:36:55,535 --> 00:36:58,301
- You all lied to me?
- There they are.
725
00:36:59,972 --> 00:37:01,538
- Betty. Thank God...
- Mom, don't...
726
00:37:01,540 --> 00:37:03,840
No, you have to listen. All of you.
727
00:37:03,843 --> 00:37:05,742
My dad just told Mayor McCoy
728
00:37:05,744 --> 00:37:07,244
about your dad, Jughead.
729
00:37:07,247 --> 00:37:08,812
What about my dad?
730
00:37:08,815 --> 00:37:10,573
He was just arrested.
731
00:37:11,848 --> 00:37:13,448
For the murder of Jason Blossom.
732
00:37:50,008 --> 00:37:52,742
I'm not a perfect father, Jughead,
no getting around that, but...
733
00:37:54,146 --> 00:37:55,378
I'm no killer.
734
00:38:10,529 --> 00:38:13,163
Kevin said someone tipped
off his dad, was it you?
735
00:38:13,165 --> 00:38:16,800
- I was at the dance, Betty...
- Answer the damn question, Mom.
736
00:38:16,803 --> 00:38:18,168
And don't lie.
737
00:38:19,271 --> 00:38:20,437
Was it you?
738
00:38:21,206 --> 00:38:22,372
It was not.
739
00:38:23,008 --> 00:38:24,407
But I'm glad that you're safe.
740
00:38:24,410 --> 00:38:26,276
And as much as I like Jughead,
741
00:38:26,278 --> 00:38:28,254
I am so glad that you
are done with that family.
742
00:38:28,257 --> 00:38:29,378
âDoneâ?
743
00:38:29,381 --> 00:38:30,914
I love Jughead.
744
00:38:32,684 --> 00:38:34,918
He's as much my family as you are,
745
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,553
more so right now.
746
00:38:36,556 --> 00:38:38,721
You are not going anywhere, young lady.
747
00:38:38,723 --> 00:38:40,223
I am going to look for Jughead.
748
00:38:41,460 --> 00:38:43,460
Do not push me tonight, Mom,
749
00:38:44,329 --> 00:38:47,297
because I will push back.
750
00:38:58,076 --> 00:39:01,611
If FP confesses, he
might drag us into this.
751
00:39:02,566 --> 00:39:04,399
Talk about our dealings
with the Serpents.
752
00:39:05,383 --> 00:39:08,751
But at least we'll know
if Dad hired him to...
753
00:39:10,689 --> 00:39:12,188
And if he did?
754
00:39:12,191 --> 00:39:14,171
And you can't pretend otherwise?
755
00:39:15,327 --> 00:39:17,060
We'll cut all ties with him.
756
00:39:18,697 --> 00:39:20,330
He'll be dead to us.
757
00:39:20,333 --> 00:39:22,999
We may not be able to
walk away so easily.
758
00:39:32,077 --> 00:39:33,977
FP has always had his demons.
759
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,813
I really thought he'd changed, Mom, I...
760
00:39:37,716 --> 00:39:40,383
It's very hard for
people to change, Archie.
761
00:39:42,053 --> 00:39:43,620
You know, after I heard you play
762
00:39:43,622 --> 00:39:45,121
and before everything happened,
763
00:39:46,124 --> 00:39:48,491
I was going to ask you to
come to Chicago with me.
764
00:39:49,261 --> 00:39:50,426
To stay.
765
00:39:52,697 --> 00:39:54,063
You could study music.
766
00:39:54,814 --> 00:39:56,966
I'm not even thinking
about that right now, Mom.
767
00:39:56,968 --> 00:39:58,434
No, I know, I know.
768
00:39:58,437 --> 00:40:00,503
It's just, I want you with me.
769
00:40:01,171 --> 00:40:03,905
I don't think that this
town is safe anymore.
770
00:40:04,428 --> 00:40:07,644
I feel like Riverdale is getting
ready to slide off of a mountainside,
771
00:40:07,646 --> 00:40:10,680
and I don't want you anywhere
around when that happens.
772
00:40:11,883 --> 00:40:14,551
Just promise me you'll
at least think about it.
773
00:40:16,855 --> 00:40:18,288
Yeah, I will.
774
00:40:32,908 --> 00:40:34,971
That bastard killed my baby.
775
00:40:36,341 --> 00:40:38,608
He killed my Jason.
776
00:40:38,611 --> 00:40:41,850
I want him dead for what he did.
777
00:40:43,014 --> 00:40:45,530
You have my word, darling.
778
00:40:46,418 --> 00:40:47,584
You have my word.
779
00:41:00,632 --> 00:41:03,433
Pop... Jughead hasn't been by, has he?
780
00:41:03,435 --> 00:41:06,869
Nope. You're not the only one
who's come looking for him.
781
00:41:09,608 --> 00:41:10,807
Betty...
782
00:41:10,810 --> 00:41:12,642
- Thank goodness.
- We were gonna call you.
783
00:41:12,644 --> 00:41:16,212
I'm not talking to you,
either of you, ever again.
784
00:41:16,214 --> 00:41:17,814
It's about Jughead.
785
00:41:17,817 --> 00:41:20,183
Kevin called me. And he
said his dad found a gun,
786
00:41:20,185 --> 00:41:21,918
the gun that killed Jason,
787
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,186
in a lockbox in FP's closet.
788
00:41:23,188 --> 00:41:24,821
But Betty, we searched FP's trailer.
789
00:41:24,823 --> 00:41:26,255
We looked through that closet.
790
00:41:26,257 --> 00:41:28,024
And there was no lockbox.
791
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,526
Someone put it there after we left.
792
00:41:30,529 --> 00:41:32,528
He's being framed.
793
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,882
