1
00:00:04,352 --> 00:00:06,310
[Jughead] Well,
it's not every day you learn
that you're at ground zero
2
00:00:06,354 --> 00:00:07,877
of an extinction-level event.
3
00:00:08,486 --> 00:00:10,271
In less than 18 hours,
4
00:00:10,314 --> 00:00:13,187
Bailey's Comet was going to
obliterate Riverdale,
5
00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:17,104
one last twist of the knife,
courtesy of Percival Pickens.
6
00:00:17,147 --> 00:00:19,454
And there was nothing
we could do to stop it
7
00:00:19,497 --> 00:00:21,456
or apparently escape.
8
00:00:21,499 --> 00:00:22,761
What did you find out?
9
00:00:22,805 --> 00:00:24,589
I've had the Serpents out
all night,
10
00:00:24,633 --> 00:00:27,462
on every road
and every highway.
11
00:00:27,505 --> 00:00:29,072
And all along
the town's limits,
12
00:00:29,116 --> 00:00:31,074
there's some sort of
invisible barrier
13
00:00:31,118 --> 00:00:33,076
completely surrounding
Riverdale,
14
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,512
and it's keeping us
from leaving it.
15
00:00:34,556 --> 00:00:36,688
Yeah, it gets crazier, though.
16
00:00:36,732 --> 00:00:40,431
When we were out there
on the highway,
a car drove into town.
17
00:00:40,475 --> 00:00:43,130
Like there was no barrier.
18
00:00:43,173 --> 00:00:46,524
So it's basically, like,
we're trapped in a roach motel.
19
00:00:46,568 --> 00:00:48,135
You can get in,
but you can't get out.
20
00:00:48,178 --> 00:00:50,180
Jughead, what about
opening up a portal?
21
00:00:50,224 --> 00:00:52,182
I mean, I'll take any dimension
over this one at the moment.
22
00:00:52,226 --> 00:00:56,230
I tried. I can only open
portals within town limits.
23
00:00:56,273 --> 00:00:57,492
No other dimension.
24
00:00:57,535 --> 00:00:58,580
[Archie] Tabitha,
what about you?
25
00:00:58,623 --> 00:01:00,103
Have you tried to time travel?
26
00:01:00,147 --> 00:01:02,453
Every time line I've gone to,
past and future,
27
00:01:02,497 --> 00:01:06,457
there's always a comet
that's about to destroy
Riverdale imminently.
28
00:01:06,501 --> 00:01:08,546
- How the hell is this happening?
- It's Percival.
29
00:01:08,590 --> 00:01:10,026
But was he
really powerful enough
30
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:12,028
to get Bailey's Comet
to change course?
31
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:14,291
- I mean, it's a comet.
- He is
32
00:01:14,335 --> 00:01:16,467
and powerful enough
to weave the binding spell
33
00:01:16,511 --> 00:01:18,730
that's keeping us all
trapped here.
34
00:01:18,774 --> 00:01:20,732
Shouldn't, like, the government
try to shoot the comet
out of the sky or something?
35
00:01:20,776 --> 00:01:21,820
Why isn't this
all over the Internet?
36
00:01:21,864 --> 00:01:23,257
It's a facet of the spell.
37
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:25,259
Percival doesn't want
anyone to help us,
38
00:01:25,302 --> 00:01:28,175
so as far as the world
is concerned,
Bailey's Comet is passing
39
00:01:28,218 --> 00:01:31,700
over Riverdale tonight,
as it has every 65 years.
40
00:01:31,743 --> 00:01:33,136
Great. So that's it then.
41
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:34,616
We're all going to die.
42
00:01:34,659 --> 00:01:35,965
I'm so happy
I moved here sophomore year.
43
00:01:36,008 --> 00:01:37,880
Well, not everyone's
going to die.
44
00:01:37,923 --> 00:01:39,229
Archie's invulnerable.
45
00:01:39,273 --> 00:01:41,275
What about Big Anthony?
46
00:01:41,318 --> 00:01:42,885
- He's immortal.
- Archie and I have already talked about that.
47
00:01:42,928 --> 00:01:45,235
They might be the only ones
that survive this,
48
00:01:45,279 --> 00:01:47,977
especially if they're
in the bunker
when the comet hits.
49
00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:49,326
Uh, let's not go there yet.
50
00:01:49,370 --> 00:01:51,763
We have enough time
to make sure we all survive.
51
00:01:51,807 --> 00:01:53,852
Percival was a sorcerer
52
00:01:53,896 --> 00:01:57,204
and pulling down the comet
and making this barrier
are all spells he cast.
53
00:01:57,247 --> 00:01:59,293
They are spells, Archie,
54
00:01:59,336 --> 00:02:05,255
incredibly elaborate ones
rooted in dark, arcane magics
honed over centuries.
55
00:02:05,299 --> 00:02:07,736
- Far beyond my knowledge.
- And mine.
56
00:02:07,779 --> 00:02:10,260
But there might be someone
we can consult
57
00:02:10,304 --> 00:02:12,175
with ancient knowledge
that rivals Percival's.
58
00:02:12,219 --> 00:02:14,308
Okay, great. In the meantime,
Frank and I
59
00:02:14,351 --> 00:02:16,658
and anyone else who wants
to help, we're going to go
into the mines.
60
00:02:16,701 --> 00:02:20,183
If we dig deep enough,
maybe we'll find a tunnel
that passes under the barrier.
61
00:02:20,227 --> 00:02:21,184
[scoffs]
62
00:02:21,228 --> 00:02:22,838
[Alice] Whatever happens,
63
00:02:22,881 --> 00:02:26,189
I'm just so grateful
that we can face it together
64
00:02:26,233 --> 00:02:27,364
as a family.
65
00:02:27,408 --> 00:02:28,800
But I am so sorry
66
00:02:28,844 --> 00:02:31,455
that I can't protect you girls
from what's coming.
67
00:02:31,499 --> 00:02:33,240
It's a comet, Mom.
68
00:02:33,283 --> 00:02:34,937
And I am so sorry
69
00:02:34,980 --> 00:02:36,504
that I wasn't a better mother.
70
00:02:36,547 --> 00:02:38,680
- I was awful.
- No.
71
00:02:38,723 --> 00:02:41,770
- Mom, we're okay.
- [crying]
72
00:02:41,813 --> 00:02:45,165
We know that you would do
anything for us.
73
00:02:46,427 --> 00:02:47,645
And we love you.
74
00:02:49,473 --> 00:02:51,345
So, so, so much.
75
00:02:51,388 --> 00:02:53,085
[sobbing] I love you, too.
76
00:02:57,394 --> 00:02:59,353
How does it feel to be back?
77
00:02:59,396 --> 00:03:03,270
Unsettling,
but I'm still hoping
for an eleventh-hour save.
78
00:03:03,313 --> 00:03:05,054
Speaking of,
I have something for you.
79
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:11,278
I saved it from Percival's shop
before we burned it down.
80
00:03:11,321 --> 00:03:13,541
I really can't seem
to get rid of this thing,
can I?
81
00:03:14,455 --> 00:03:15,412
[sighs]
82
00:03:16,979 --> 00:03:18,198
Thank you, Reggie.
83
00:03:20,025 --> 00:03:22,114
[Jughead] You know,
all things considered,
84
00:03:22,158 --> 00:03:23,812
there are definitely more
banal ways to go out
85
00:03:23,855 --> 00:03:27,424
than being obliterated
by a giant magic comet.
86
00:03:27,468 --> 00:03:29,992
And I've actually completed
almost everything
on my bucket list.
87
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:37,260
Alexandra Cabot?
88
00:03:37,304 --> 00:03:38,653
Tabitha Tate?
89
00:03:39,828 --> 00:03:41,438
What are you doing here?
90
00:03:41,482 --> 00:03:44,920
Well, I am here to make
all your dreams come true.
91
00:03:47,444 --> 00:03:48,793
[slurping] Mmm.
92
00:03:50,404 --> 00:03:51,361
Every time.
93
00:03:51,405 --> 00:03:52,797
Okay, so...
94
00:03:52,841 --> 00:03:54,582
You've heard
of Tommy Comet's, right?
95
00:03:54,625 --> 00:03:56,323
The diner chain
that went belly up.
96
00:03:56,366 --> 00:03:58,107
Yeah, well,
97
00:03:58,150 --> 00:04:02,242
I have just closed a deal
to buy all of their facilities,
98
00:04:02,285 --> 00:04:04,200
which means
99
00:04:04,244 --> 00:04:09,031
that we can take them over
and open up Pop's diners
across the country ASAP.
100
00:04:10,337 --> 00:04:11,903
Instant franchising.
101
00:04:11,947 --> 00:04:14,254
Investors are lined up
and we're good
on the financials.
102
00:04:14,297 --> 00:04:20,303
So all I need from you,
Tabitha, is an immediate yes.
103
00:04:21,348 --> 00:04:24,394
Alexandra,
this is amazing news.
104
00:04:24,438 --> 00:04:27,005
But what? Just say yes.
105
00:04:27,049 --> 00:04:28,964
The thing is, your timing...
106
00:04:29,007 --> 00:04:31,662
I just think it's a lot
to take in right now.
107
00:04:31,706 --> 00:04:33,316
[phone ringing]
108
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,884
Okay. And this is
one of my investors right now.
109
00:04:35,927 --> 00:04:39,104
Um, I'm staying
at the Five Seasons.
110
00:04:39,148 --> 00:04:41,542
Think on it.
But you have ten hours
to decide.
111
00:04:41,585 --> 00:04:45,372
And I promise you
this is truly the opportunity
of a lifetime.
112
00:04:48,679 --> 00:04:50,246
Hi, this is Alexandra.
113
00:04:58,907 --> 00:05:00,038
There you go.
114
00:05:01,562 --> 00:05:02,432
All done.
115
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,262
So does this mean
I'm a real Serpent now?
116
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:07,307
[sighs]
117
00:05:08,438 --> 00:05:10,222
Not just the Serpent.
118
00:05:11,528 --> 00:05:12,790
Serpent King.
119
00:05:12,834 --> 00:05:15,184
Anthony, you're our son.
120
00:05:15,227 --> 00:05:18,274
And you've got the best shot
of surviving whatever's coming.
121
00:05:18,318 --> 00:05:20,537
And it's up to you to make sure
the Serpents don't die out,
122
00:05:20,581 --> 00:05:22,931
and being king
is your birthright,
123
00:05:22,974 --> 00:05:30,155
and that's why it's up to you
to make sure that that legacy,
our legacy, continues, okay?
124
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:31,113
Yes, Mom.
125
00:05:33,463 --> 00:05:35,900
[both] Return to us,
Spirit from beyond.
126
00:05:35,944 --> 00:05:38,207
Abigail Blossom,
we asked to correspond.
127
00:05:38,250 --> 00:05:41,428
We seek your wisdom,
help an insight appear
before us,
128
00:05:41,471 --> 00:05:43,560
sister of the night.
129
00:05:43,604 --> 00:05:45,388
Pray tell, why have I
been conjured?
130
00:05:45,910 --> 00:05:47,999
Abigail, hi.
131
00:05:48,609 --> 00:05:50,219
We need your help.
132
00:05:50,262 --> 00:05:52,352
An evil sorcerer has called
a comet down upon us
133
00:05:52,395 --> 00:05:55,746
- and bound us to this town so that no one can leave it.
- Good.
134
00:05:55,790 --> 00:05:57,574
Why for should I help you?
135
00:05:57,618 --> 00:06:00,055
Listen, I think we may have
gotten off on the wrong foot.
136
00:06:00,098 --> 00:06:03,928
So, yes, I'm asking you
to show a little mercy.
137
00:06:06,453 --> 00:06:09,978
Also I'll free you
from that ceramic hell doll.
138
00:06:10,021 --> 00:06:13,460
A long, long time ago,
when I was still alive,
139
00:06:13,503 --> 00:06:17,986
I spent
the most sublime evening
with my beloved Thomasina.
140
00:06:18,029 --> 00:06:21,555
She was an astronomer
and a scientist
as well as a witch.
141
00:06:22,991 --> 00:06:24,949
It's called Bailey's Comet.
142
00:06:28,866 --> 00:06:32,566
[sighs] It's... beautiful.
143
00:06:34,437 --> 00:06:35,482
Just like you.
144
00:06:36,961 --> 00:06:38,049
What's it made of?
145
00:06:38,093 --> 00:06:39,921
Ice, my love.
146
00:06:40,704 --> 00:06:43,925
Comets are made of ice.
147
00:06:43,968 --> 00:06:45,622
I hear what goes on
in this house.
148
00:06:45,666 --> 00:06:48,712
You possess the power
of the Phoenix, don't you?
149
00:06:48,756 --> 00:06:52,455
As soon as the comet
gets close enough to Earth,
project your power at it.
150
00:06:52,499 --> 00:06:54,239
And melt it?
151
00:06:55,632 --> 00:06:58,635
That's kind of basic,
but also kind of genius.
152
00:06:58,679 --> 00:07:03,553
But if it is to work,
it will require
all of your Phoenix power.
153
00:07:03,597 --> 00:07:05,207
And such an effort
will come at a cost.
154
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:07,296
What about Percival's trap?
155
00:07:07,339 --> 00:07:09,472
Can you help us
undo his binding spell?
156
00:07:09,516 --> 00:07:12,257
Mayhap, though that will take
a greater effort to undo.
157
00:07:12,301 --> 00:07:15,217
Therefore, in exchange,
I will require
158
00:07:15,260 --> 00:07:18,568
something more
than an appeal and my freedom.
159
00:07:18,612 --> 00:07:19,917
Okay, we're listening.
160
00:07:21,223 --> 00:07:22,703
[Cheryl] All my underworlders!
161
00:07:22,746 --> 00:07:26,271
Any luck finding
a safe passageway out?
162
00:07:26,576 --> 00:07:28,491
Not yet.
163
00:07:28,535 --> 00:07:30,275
Every time we follow a tunnel
that leads us
164
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:32,582
to what should be
the edge of town,
we hit the barrier.
165
00:07:32,626 --> 00:07:36,586
Luckily, I may have divined
a pathway through our
little conundrum.
166
00:07:36,630 --> 00:07:38,849
Come, come.
Everyone's gathered
at Thornhill.
167
00:07:41,156 --> 00:07:42,679
Listen up, Riverdalians.
168
00:07:42,723 --> 00:07:45,508
Thanks to some
ancestral advice,
169
00:07:45,552 --> 00:07:47,118
I believe I might,
170
00:07:47,162 --> 00:07:49,904
might be able to melt
the comet
with my Phoenix powers.
171
00:07:49,947 --> 00:07:51,688
Whoa, that's incredible news.
172
00:07:51,732 --> 00:07:54,474
And there may also be a way
to undo Percival's
binding spells
173
00:07:54,517 --> 00:07:56,432
so that we can evacuate
the town.
174
00:07:56,476 --> 00:08:00,567
But, Toni, you and I need
to speak about that privately.
175
00:08:01,350 --> 00:08:02,743
Okay.
176
00:08:02,786 --> 00:08:05,354
Hold on. Is it really as easy
as melting the comet?
177
00:08:05,876 --> 00:08:07,182
No, Veronica.
178
00:08:07,225 --> 00:08:11,273
There is one huge catch.
179
00:08:11,316 --> 00:08:16,191
It will take
all of my Phoenix energies
to extinguish Bailey's Comet,
180
00:08:16,234 --> 00:08:19,934
which means if I successfully
melt the comet,
181
00:08:19,977 --> 00:08:24,286
one or more of the dead
I've resurrected
will surely perish.
182
00:08:25,156 --> 00:08:26,984
What? Wait. Why?
183
00:08:27,028 --> 00:08:31,554
Because it is my powers
that are keeping
the resurrected dead alive.
184
00:08:31,598 --> 00:08:32,599
Who knew?
185
00:08:32,642 --> 00:08:34,383
So, who is on
the chopping block
186
00:08:34,426 --> 00:08:35,384
exactly?
187
00:08:35,776 --> 00:08:36,951
Archie.
188
00:08:36,994 --> 00:08:38,387
Jughead.
189
00:08:38,430 --> 00:08:39,649
Polly.
190
00:08:39,693 --> 00:08:40,520
My Nana.
191
00:08:40,824 --> 00:08:41,912
Dagwood.
192
00:08:42,478 --> 00:08:43,740
Alice.
193
00:08:43,784 --> 00:08:45,568
Frank, Sheriff Keller,
194
00:08:45,612 --> 00:08:48,702
Fangs and Toni,
195
00:08:48,745 --> 00:08:53,663
if Riverdale is to live,
one or many of you
196
00:08:53,707 --> 00:08:57,537
or your loved ones, must die.
197
00:09:05,327 --> 00:09:07,372
[Toni] What can I do
to help, Cheryl?
198
00:09:07,416 --> 00:09:10,419
My ancestor, the witch,
Abigail Blossom,
199
00:09:10,462 --> 00:09:13,553
is going to help us
figure out a way
to break Percival's spell
200
00:09:13,596 --> 00:09:16,599
and escape Riverdale's borders.
201
00:09:16,643 --> 00:09:20,777
But first, she wants to spend
one final evening
202
00:09:20,821 --> 00:09:26,435
with her beloved
in carnal form,
203
00:09:26,478 --> 00:09:28,959
and we need two vessels
to make that happen.
204
00:09:30,091 --> 00:09:32,223
I would be Abigail's
205
00:09:32,267 --> 00:09:36,532
and you,
pending your agreement,
206
00:09:37,402 --> 00:09:38,795
would be her beloved
207
00:09:38,839 --> 00:09:42,625
Thomasina Topaz, your ancestor
who was also a witch.
208
00:09:42,669 --> 00:09:45,715
Okay, but what about Fangs
and Heather?
209
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:47,456
Well, Heather's a witch.
210
00:09:47,499 --> 00:09:52,983
So she's kind of fine
with whatevs. As for Fangs...
211
00:09:53,897 --> 00:09:56,073
it isn't technically cheating.
212
00:09:56,117 --> 00:09:57,640
I mean,
our souls will be elsewhere.
213
00:09:57,684 --> 00:09:59,816
Okay. And where would
our souls be, exactly?
214
00:09:59,860 --> 00:10:01,862
Not to worry.
215
00:10:01,905 --> 00:10:03,646
Heather will keep
our spirits in a jar
until the lovemaking ends.
216
00:10:05,169 --> 00:10:06,257
[door thuds]
217
00:10:09,870 --> 00:10:11,872
There you are.
218
00:10:11,915 --> 00:10:15,397
Mom, you,
you shouldn't be here.
219
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:16,703
What are you talking about?
220
00:10:18,356 --> 00:10:19,488
Why are you covered in dirt?
221
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:21,446
I'm on a job.
222
00:10:22,796 --> 00:10:23,666
Let me get cleaned up.
223
00:10:29,716 --> 00:10:30,804
Archie,
224
00:10:30,847 --> 00:10:33,720
one of the reasons
why I came back was
225
00:10:33,763 --> 00:10:36,766
I want to tell you
that Brooke and I
are getting a divorce.
226
00:10:36,810 --> 00:10:39,029
What? What happened?
227
00:10:39,073 --> 00:10:40,204
I thought
you two got along great.
228
00:10:40,248 --> 00:10:41,945
Oh, we do get along.
229
00:10:41,989 --> 00:10:46,210
Just we also both realize
that we don't want to spend
230
00:10:46,254 --> 00:10:48,691
the rest of our lives together,
and it's okay.
231
00:10:48,735 --> 00:10:49,779
You know, it happens.
232
00:10:49,823 --> 00:10:53,653
But life... life is precious.
233
00:10:55,132 --> 00:10:56,873
And you don't want to waste
a single minute.
234
00:10:56,917 --> 00:10:58,048
You know?
235
00:11:02,923 --> 00:11:05,055
Cheers, Daddy.
236
00:11:05,099 --> 00:11:08,145
And hopefully,
whatever happens,
237
00:11:08,189 --> 00:11:10,278
we don't cross paths
in the afterlife.
238
00:11:39,786 --> 00:11:41,135
[sighs]
239
00:11:42,049 --> 00:11:43,485
[knock at door]
240
00:11:44,051 --> 00:11:45,356
What's going on?
241
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,793
Good news about the comet,
I hope?
242
00:11:46,836 --> 00:11:48,272
No, um...
243
00:11:49,534 --> 00:11:50,753
personal news actually.
244
00:11:52,189 --> 00:11:53,756
I'm going to ask Betty
to marry me.
245
00:11:56,019 --> 00:11:58,021
- What?
- Yeah.
246
00:11:58,065 --> 00:12:00,589
- Today?
- I was going to use a ring my dad gave me,
247
00:12:00,632 --> 00:12:03,853
but I lost it,
probably in the explosion.
248
00:12:03,897 --> 00:12:05,637
So since I don't have
a lot of time,
249
00:12:05,681 --> 00:12:09,293
I was wondering if you might
still have some rings
250
00:12:09,337 --> 00:12:11,687
from the jewelry shop
you used to run.
251
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:13,428
- Uh...
- I'm sorry if that's a weird thing to ask.
252
00:12:13,471 --> 00:12:14,864
No, no, not at all.
253
00:12:14,908 --> 00:12:16,779
Um, actually...
254
00:12:17,867 --> 00:12:18,955
Yeah.
255
00:12:18,999 --> 00:12:21,088
You're in luck, Archie.
256
00:12:21,131 --> 00:12:23,612
I have an amazing diamond ring
in my personal stash
that Betty would flip for.
257
00:12:31,576 --> 00:12:33,535
But franchising Pop's
has been your dream.
258
00:12:33,578 --> 00:12:35,711
You've been protecting
the diner all year.
259
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:37,887
This is the best way
to ensure its longevity.
260
00:12:37,931 --> 00:12:41,717
Honestly, as long as there's
a giant hunk of ice hurtling
towards us,
261
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:43,806
I'm not committing to anything,
262
00:12:43,850 --> 00:12:46,809
though, I do appreciate
you willing to be the Jack
to my Rose.
263
00:12:46,853 --> 00:12:48,289
Who?
264
00:12:48,332 --> 00:12:49,812
Jack and Rose,
265
00:12:49,856 --> 00:12:52,032
from Titanic,
Leonardo DiCaprio,
Kate Winslet.
266
00:12:52,075 --> 00:12:55,122
- Oh.
- Jack dies so that Rose can fulfill all of her dreams
267
00:12:55,165 --> 00:12:58,081
like flying solo
around the world.
268
00:12:58,125 --> 00:12:59,169
Never seen the Titanic.
269
00:12:59,213 --> 00:13:00,823
- What?
- I know, I know.
270
00:13:00,867 --> 00:13:02,956
I'm more partial to, like,
early James Cameron.
271
00:13:02,999 --> 00:13:04,914
Jughead,
you've gotta be kidding.
272
00:13:04,958 --> 00:13:07,177
The Titanic is one
of my favorite movies
of, like, all time.
273
00:13:07,221 --> 00:13:08,483
We have to watch it.
274
00:13:08,526 --> 00:13:10,877
- We have to watch it.
- Yes.
275
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,530
Isn't that, like,
four hours long?
276
00:13:12,574 --> 00:13:15,055
Three hours and 14 minutes.
277
00:13:15,098 --> 00:13:17,535
Look, I know
the clock is ticking.
278
00:13:17,579 --> 00:13:20,364
But trust me,
we need to do this.
279
00:13:32,637 --> 00:13:33,856
If you're ready, let's begin.
280
00:13:41,037 --> 00:13:42,865
Hear ye, hear ye,
great above.
281
00:13:42,909 --> 00:13:44,954
Send two spirits deep in love.
282
00:13:44,998 --> 00:13:48,001
Take these vessels
for the night
and earthly realm to reunite.
283
00:13:48,044 --> 00:13:49,002
Switch the souls,
284
00:13:49,045 --> 00:13:51,004
let flesh remain,
shake thy broom,
285
00:13:51,047 --> 00:13:51,918
that love of flame.
286
00:13:58,011 --> 00:14:01,928
Abigail, can this truly
be happening?
287
00:14:01,971 --> 00:14:03,016
Yes.
288
00:14:03,059 --> 00:14:05,322
Yes, my love. This is real.
289
00:14:05,366 --> 00:14:07,716
Come. We have oh so much
to catch up on.
290
00:14:12,329 --> 00:14:13,853

[Archie] And my mom's here.
303
00:14:59,072 --> 00:15:00,508
She's in Riverdale.
304
00:15:00,551 --> 00:15:03,206
Oh, my God, Did you tell her
about the comet?
305
00:15:03,250 --> 00:15:05,469
I didn't. I mean,
where would I even start?
306
00:15:05,513 --> 00:15:06,993
Arch, you got to tell her.
307
00:15:07,994 --> 00:15:08,908
Yeah, maybe.
308
00:15:10,387 --> 00:15:11,649
But first...
309
00:15:14,087 --> 00:15:15,262
What are you doing?
310
00:15:21,224 --> 00:15:22,834
We may not have much time,
311
00:15:24,227 --> 00:15:25,794
but I know what
I want to do with it.
312
00:15:28,753 --> 00:15:29,624
Marry me.
313
00:15:31,104 --> 00:15:32,801
There's a comet coming.
314
00:15:32,844 --> 00:15:35,978
- And I want to be with you for it.
- Then be with me.
315
00:15:39,982 --> 00:15:40,852
Arch,
316
00:15:42,637 --> 00:15:44,334
I love you so much.
317
00:15:44,378 --> 00:15:47,163
That's not part of my
hesitation, okay?
318
00:15:47,207 --> 00:15:49,861
But can we talk about
what's going on with you
right now?
319
00:15:53,126 --> 00:15:57,086
You put so much pressure
on yourself to be a hero,
320
00:15:57,130 --> 00:15:59,393
when you already are one.
321
00:15:59,436 --> 00:16:02,483
Sometimes you
can't save everyone.
322
00:16:02,526 --> 00:16:04,920
Sometimes you can
just be scared.
323
00:16:06,052 --> 00:16:07,314
And that's okay.
324
00:16:08,968 --> 00:16:09,881
It's human.
325
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:19,891
Do you remember
when we were kids
326
00:16:19,935 --> 00:16:21,632
and you asked me
to marry you?
327
00:16:23,112 --> 00:16:26,681
And I told you to ask me again
when we turned 18.
328
00:16:26,724 --> 00:16:28,204
So how about this?
329
00:16:29,510 --> 00:16:30,902
Ask me again
330
00:16:31,816 --> 00:16:34,254
after Cheryl melts that comet
331
00:16:34,297 --> 00:16:35,603
and you and me
332
00:16:35,646 --> 00:16:39,041
and everyone else survives.
333
00:16:39,085 --> 00:16:41,348
Or we find another way out
of Riverdale.
334
00:16:44,133 --> 00:16:45,221
Deal?
335
00:16:53,316 --> 00:16:54,622
I'm gonna do that for us.
336
00:16:57,146 --> 00:16:59,105
Where are you going?
337
00:16:59,148 --> 00:17:01,933
[sighs] I'm gonna break through
that barrier
338
00:17:02,673 --> 00:17:04,066
so I can marry you,
339
00:17:04,110 --> 00:17:05,024
Betty Cooper.
340
00:17:07,330 --> 00:17:08,070
[sighs]
341
00:17:23,825 --> 00:17:28,090
- Cheryl?
- Yes, Toni.
342
00:17:28,134 --> 00:17:32,486
- [speaking French]
- [in English] Do you remember anything?
343
00:17:33,356 --> 00:17:34,270
No.
344
00:17:36,185 --> 00:17:37,360
- You?
- No.
345
00:17:37,404 --> 00:17:40,015
No, um... Neither do I.
346
00:17:44,324 --> 00:17:45,281
Toni?
347
00:17:51,679 --> 00:17:53,594
- Thank you.
- Of course.
348
00:17:54,943 --> 00:17:57,076
Anything to possibly
save the town.
349
00:18:08,174 --> 00:18:13,222
So tell me, dearest ancestor,
how was your tryst
with Thomasina?
350
00:18:13,266 --> 00:18:16,573
Beyond my wildest imaginings.
351
00:18:16,617 --> 00:18:18,488
- Thank you, Cheryl.
- Of course.
352
00:18:18,532 --> 00:18:22,144
But now tell me,
how do we undo
Percival's binding spell?
353
00:18:22,188 --> 00:18:23,798
Look there on the altar.
354
00:18:25,713 --> 00:18:27,715
What is that?
355
00:18:27,758 --> 00:18:29,673
The knots represent
the various mystical barriers
surrounding the town.
356
00:18:29,717 --> 00:18:31,719
Once the rope is untied completely,
357
00:18:31,762 --> 00:18:33,851
you and the others should be
able to leave Riverdale.
358
00:18:36,898 --> 00:18:38,508
Agent Cooper,
it's been a minute.
359
00:18:38,552 --> 00:18:41,032
Drake, hi.
360
00:18:41,076 --> 00:18:44,558
Yeah. Things have only gotten
more insane since TBK.
361
00:18:44,601 --> 00:18:48,301
If you can believe that.
What's up?
362
00:18:48,344 --> 00:18:52,392
Director Wilcox wants us
to head up the FBI
serial killer division.
363
00:18:52,435 --> 00:18:53,480
Oh, my God.
364
00:18:55,351 --> 00:18:57,179
That's quite the promotion.
365
00:18:57,223 --> 00:19:00,226
The thing is,
there's a lot going on
366
00:19:00,269 --> 00:19:01,618
in my life right now.
367
00:19:01,662 --> 00:19:05,056
I'm, sort of,
in a transitional period.
368
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:06,841
You know, weighing my options
369
00:19:07,755 --> 00:19:09,365
for the future.
370
00:19:09,409 --> 00:19:11,498
But, Betty, there's no better
hunter of hunters than you are.
371
00:19:11,541 --> 00:19:13,935
I think that chapter of my life
is over.
372
00:19:13,978 --> 00:19:16,590
Being a hunter of hunters,
373
00:19:18,331 --> 00:19:20,420
I mean, I don't want that
carved on my gravestone.
374
00:19:20,463 --> 00:19:26,295
[chuckles] I hate asking,
but is this because of Archie
375
00:19:26,339 --> 00:19:30,169
or because TBK messed
with your head?
376
00:19:30,212 --> 00:19:31,213
No.
377
00:19:32,954 --> 00:19:35,086
This has nothing to do
with TBK or Archie.
378
00:19:35,130 --> 00:19:39,308
This is all... This is me.
379
00:19:39,352 --> 00:19:42,529
It's my decision
about how I want to spend
the rest of my life,
380
00:19:42,572 --> 00:19:45,619
- for however long that might be.
- Doing what?
381
00:19:45,662 --> 00:19:47,316
I'm moving towards the light.
382
00:19:50,754 --> 00:19:51,799
Take care, Drake.
383
00:19:51,842 --> 00:19:53,540
And don't be a stranger.
384
00:19:53,583 --> 00:19:55,194
- Bye.
- [call closing chime]
385
00:19:58,762 --> 00:20:01,330
So, Ronnie, if we survive,
386
00:20:01,374 --> 00:20:03,811
- what's the first thing you're gonna do, you think?
- Hmm.
387
00:20:05,682 --> 00:20:09,860
- Maybe a shopping spree in Paris with Katie.
- Oh.
388
00:20:09,904 --> 00:20:11,949
- You?
- Get a dog.
389
00:20:11,993 --> 00:20:14,169
- Aw.
- I always wanted one.
390
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:17,259
- [chuckles]
- Name him... Vader.
391
00:20:18,826 --> 00:20:21,045
- Yeah.
- That's sweet.
392
00:20:24,397 --> 00:20:28,227
Reggie, the reason
I asked you over,
393
00:20:28,270 --> 00:20:31,360
should we still be here
this time tomorrow,
394
00:20:31,404 --> 00:20:34,407
I want you to have
the Babylonium. Sole ownership.
395
00:20:34,450 --> 00:20:36,017
- Wait. Really?
- Mmm-hmm.
396
00:20:36,060 --> 00:20:39,412
- How come?
- The casino was your idea.
397
00:20:39,455 --> 00:20:41,414
Your baby.
398
00:20:41,457 --> 00:20:45,418
The only thing
that's really mine
is my absinthe.
399
00:20:45,461 --> 00:20:47,333
Maybe I'll focus on that.
400
00:20:47,376 --> 00:20:49,509
And should the sun
rise tomorrow,
401
00:20:49,552 --> 00:20:53,208
and we find ourselves
no longer business partners,
402
00:20:53,252 --> 00:20:55,428
any chance you and I
get back together?
403
00:20:55,471 --> 00:20:59,301
Tempting, but no.
404
00:20:59,345 --> 00:21:02,565
I think it's good we're
off that carousel ride,
don't you?
405
00:21:02,609 --> 00:21:04,915
Mmm-hmm.
406
00:21:04,959 --> 00:21:09,268
And besides, if there is
another chapter for me still,
407
00:21:10,573 --> 00:21:12,445
I think it's time
for a hard reboot.
408
00:21:13,402 --> 00:21:15,099
On all fronts.
409
00:21:15,143 --> 00:21:17,319
Instead of being
so relationship focused,
410
00:21:17,363 --> 00:21:21,497
I'll be single and fabulous
and date a lot,
411
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,458
work on my friendship skills.
412
00:21:26,763 --> 00:21:28,025
Starting with,
413
00:21:28,069 --> 00:21:31,246
if you're amenable,
you, Reggie.
414
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:34,293
Yeah, I'm down to be friend
zoned by you, Ronnie.
415
00:21:35,250 --> 00:21:36,077
Good.
416
00:21:38,471 --> 00:21:39,298
Cheers to that, Reggie.
417
00:21:41,474 --> 00:21:45,826
And if you want,
when it's comet time,
you can come over
418
00:21:45,869 --> 00:21:47,741
and we can watch
the fireworks together.
419
00:21:47,784 --> 00:21:48,959
Sounds good.
420
00:21:50,396 --> 00:21:52,093
- As...
- Yes, Reggie, as friends.
421
00:21:52,136 --> 00:21:53,660
Okay. Just checking.
422
00:22:01,015 --> 00:22:03,322
I had no idea.
423
00:22:03,365 --> 00:22:06,673
Right! It's amazing,
isn't it?
424
00:22:09,850 --> 00:22:11,460
You know,
you know how it's
going to end.
425
00:22:11,504 --> 00:22:15,986
But... it's still a gut punch.
426
00:22:16,030 --> 00:22:19,381
Couldn't they have
both held on to the drift
wood of the end, though?
427
00:22:19,425 --> 00:22:23,037
No, because it wouldn't
have supported them both.
428
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,649
Jack knew that
they would have sunk, so...
429
00:22:26,693 --> 00:22:30,827
he let go
so that Rose could live.
430
00:22:30,871 --> 00:22:33,830
I mean,
the resonances are startling.
431
00:22:33,874 --> 00:22:36,398
Only you're
a lot cuter than Leo.
432
00:22:36,442 --> 00:22:37,268
In my opinion.
433
00:22:39,749 --> 00:22:41,447
Can you just
make me a promise?
434
00:22:41,490 --> 00:22:44,363
No matter what happens,
if Cheryl stops this comet
435
00:22:44,406 --> 00:22:47,801
or if I live or I die, that you
take Alexandra up on her offer.
436
00:22:47,844 --> 00:22:49,759
Take Pop's national.
437
00:22:49,803 --> 00:22:51,892
- Jughead.
- I won't be able to die
438
00:22:51,935 --> 00:22:59,639
or live peacefully.
If you don't swear to me,
and you're an angel.
439
00:22:59,682 --> 00:23:01,902
So I'm pretty sure
that means you can't lie.
440
00:23:01,945 --> 00:23:06,863
- Can you just swear, no matter what happens...
- Okay, I swear.
441
00:23:06,907 --> 00:23:10,171
But in exchange,
I just want you to agree
442
00:23:10,214 --> 00:23:17,570
to go on one
last epic date with me.
443
00:23:17,613 --> 00:23:22,531
Okay, but define epic because
we're trapped in Riverdale
444
00:23:22,575 --> 00:23:26,317
and time
is now appallingly finite.
445
00:23:26,361 --> 00:23:28,363
Not for me.
446
00:23:28,407 --> 00:23:33,803
I'm chronokinetic, remember?
All I need is one minute.
447
00:23:36,197 --> 00:23:38,417
- One minute?
- That's all we'll need.
448
00:23:46,076 --> 00:23:48,035
[soft music playing]
449
00:24:35,299 --> 00:24:37,867
Archie, why didn't you pick up?
450
00:24:37,911 --> 00:24:39,956
I've been calling you.
451
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,655
Mom, you shouldn't be here.
452
00:24:42,698 --> 00:24:46,572
- You don't understand.
- I do. Betty told me everything.
453
00:24:46,615 --> 00:24:51,968
About Percival,
about you dying and Cheryl
bringing you back to life.
454
00:24:52,752 --> 00:24:54,362
I mean, my God, Archie.
455
00:24:54,405 --> 00:24:56,190
- Did she also tell you--
- About the comet?
456
00:24:56,233 --> 00:24:58,714
Yes, Yes, she did.
457
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:05,460
And about how now,
I'm... I'm trapped, too.
458
00:25:16,732 --> 00:25:18,386
I'm sorry, Mom.
459
00:25:18,429 --> 00:25:21,781
I'm sorry you got caught up
in all this insanity.
460
00:25:21,824 --> 00:25:24,566
Archie, none of what
is happening is your fault.
461
00:25:24,610 --> 00:25:30,441
Mom, if you...
If anyone dies because of me,
I couldn't live with myself.
462
00:25:30,485 --> 00:25:32,705
Archie, shouldering
this guilt,
463
00:25:32,748 --> 00:25:34,750
this responsibility,
464
00:25:34,794 --> 00:25:40,887
it's crazy. Like Betty said,
it's okay to be scared.
465
00:25:40,930 --> 00:25:45,544
But it's not okay
to be out here
hiding from the world.
466
00:25:48,677 --> 00:25:50,418
No one loved this
town more than Dad.
467
00:25:53,813 --> 00:25:56,337
He built so much of it
with his own two hands.
468
00:25:58,818 --> 00:26:02,256
What do you think he'd be doing
right now if he were me?
469
00:26:06,869 --> 00:26:10,656
Probably exactly what you're
doing, fighting till the end.
470
00:26:11,831 --> 00:26:15,661
But your dad also knew
when to put down his tools
471
00:26:15,704 --> 00:26:19,621
and come home to the people
he loved and who loved him.
472
00:26:21,188 --> 00:26:23,364
We should all be together
for whatever's coming.
473
00:26:34,767 --> 00:26:38,466
Well, Daddykins,
it's just you and me.
474
00:26:41,469 --> 00:26:45,865
Figures, it's been
a hell of a year.
475
00:26:45,908 --> 00:26:49,825
Your entire body is basically
one giant bio-dialysis machine.
476
00:26:55,309 --> 00:26:57,441
There's a reason
you stayed in Riverdale.
477
00:27:00,749 --> 00:27:01,663
Oh, my God.
478
00:27:07,016 --> 00:27:11,586
Oh, my God. Sorry, Daddy,
but I just figured out
a way to save my friends.
479
00:27:17,940 --> 00:27:19,463
Amazing.
480
00:27:19,507 --> 00:27:22,728
Well, I can't wait
to start working together.
481
00:27:22,771 --> 00:27:26,383
- Which would be when exactly?
- Tomorrow.
482
00:27:26,427 --> 00:27:28,777
Bright and early,
I thought we could take out
483
00:27:28,821 --> 00:27:31,475
the food truck
and post updates on social.
484
00:27:31,519 --> 00:27:34,174
That sounds
like a great idea.
485
00:27:38,265 --> 00:27:41,050
Then why the long faces?
What? What am I missing?
486
00:27:41,921 --> 00:27:44,010
[cell phones chime]
487
00:27:53,106 --> 00:27:57,937
Cheryl, in the event
that you melt the comet,
488
00:27:57,980 --> 00:28:02,855
I believe I should head back
to Greendale,
resume my life there.
489
00:28:04,595 --> 00:28:05,814
Why for would you do that?
490
00:28:05,858 --> 00:28:08,599
Because I saw something.
491
00:28:08,643 --> 00:28:12,560
When we were doing the ritual.
I adore you, Cheryl.
492
00:28:12,603 --> 00:28:15,128
But you and Toni
are forever soulmates.
493
00:28:15,171 --> 00:28:16,825
How could
you possibly know that?
494
00:28:18,914 --> 00:28:21,090
I'm a witch, silly.
495
00:28:21,134 --> 00:28:22,875
I know these things.
496
00:28:22,918 --> 00:28:23,832
Heather...
497
00:28:25,225 --> 00:28:27,096
you opened my heart again.
498
00:28:28,228 --> 00:28:29,838
Toni's with Fangs anyway.
499
00:28:29,882 --> 00:28:34,800
For now, but you and Toni,
500
00:28:34,843 --> 00:28:37,367
your fate
is written in the stars.
501
00:28:38,934 --> 00:28:39,935
It transcends time.
502
00:28:39,979 --> 00:28:41,545
[cell phone vibrating]
503
00:28:44,810 --> 00:28:47,247
[Archie] Thanks for sending
my mom to me.
504
00:28:47,290 --> 00:28:50,859
Yeah, it kind of seemed like
a mom-tervention was necessary.
505
00:28:52,426 --> 00:28:55,603
Yeah, my mom thinks
I have a hero complex.
506
00:28:57,910 --> 00:28:59,999
She's probably right.
507
00:29:00,042 --> 00:29:03,611
I think it comes from
me feeling like I'll never
be able to live up to my dad.
508
00:29:03,654 --> 00:29:07,049
Your dad would
be so beyond proud of you.
509
00:29:07,093 --> 00:29:11,532
You've been such a rock
for everyone this year,
especially for me.
510
00:29:11,575 --> 00:29:15,014
You supported me.
You comforted me.
511
00:29:15,057 --> 00:29:17,146
You loved me unconditionally.
512
00:29:17,190 --> 00:29:18,408
So thank you for that.
513
00:29:21,063 --> 00:29:25,764
I'm sorry for proposing
to you in the middle
of all this insanity.
514
00:29:26,895 --> 00:29:28,505
So end of the world or not,
515
00:29:28,549 --> 00:29:32,771
we're on your timeline.
No pressure ever again.
516
00:29:35,861 --> 00:29:37,166
Well, about that, Archie.
517
00:29:39,952 --> 00:29:41,997
Been thinking about my life.
518

had died
in a car crash in California.

00:41:38,713 --> 00:41:43,675
Somehow the year is 1955,
and somehow Archie Andrews
693
00:41:43,718 --> 00:41:47,766
and all of his friends,
me included,
are teenagers again
694
00:41:47,809 --> 00:41:52,292
and I'm the only
one who remembers what
our lives were like BC.

00:41:53,206 --> 00:41:54,512
Before the comet.
