She doesn’t even remember it happening.īack at the Cooper-Jones residence, Alice answers the phone, hangs up without a word, and removes a knife from her drawer. Betty visits her sister to find her restrained on her bed, distraught, and insisting she didn’t do it. Archie, drunk on rage, runs off despite FP’s protests to exact vengeance on the man he assumes is responsible, despite the fact that the Dickinsons are already packing up to leave town.īetty is horrified to learn that Polly “mutilated” a nurse - a nurse named Betty, oddly enough. Also, why would anyone ever eat at Pop’s ever again at this point? How many local dads have to almost die there?Īnyway, he’s fine, but not so fine he doesn’t still need to go to the hospital. Major characters are being shot and we’re not even halfway through the episode. FP and Archie’s post-violence celebration over pie at Pop’s is interrupted when a mysterious hooded figure (if this is the Black Hood, or anything remotely having to do with the Black Hood, I swear to god) shoots FP. I don’t know, I just thought they had more of a “plan” plan, but that’ll do it, I guess. After two kids from the community center take it upon themselves to track down Dodger and company and get beaten up for their efforts, they come to a deal: FP will help Archie deal with the Dickinsons, once and for all, if he agrees to put his mask away.Īnd so FP, back in his Serpents jacket, joins Archie in tracking down Dodger’s brothers and… repeatedly punching them. The sheriff becomes the second adult in as many episodes to warn Archie that he’s going to get himself killed. In another rousing success for law enforcement, FP has allowed himself the 10 seconds of critical thinking required to puzzle out that Riverdale’s vigilante at large is none other than Archie Andrews. Hence the bitterness, alcoholism, abuse, etc. He reveals that he did in fact write the first book, but that DuPont bought the story from him, fair and square, for $5,000-an increasingly depressing sum in light of the book series’ unbelievable success. You know, it’s oddly cozy, in a “Jason’s cabin from Friday the 13th Part 2 kind of way.įP OG informs Jughead that whatever FP said about his horrible parenting is “probably true” and that his hunch about the Baxter Brothers’ true authorship was right.

That also means it has taken no less than half a season for it to occur to Jughead that Charles, a living, breathing FBI agent, might have a better shot at tracking down their mutual MIA grandfather than what I imagine has been his personal campaign of half-heartedly Googling “where is forsythe pendleton i he is my grandpa does anyone know where he is.”Īnd so Jughead finds himself face to face with the wild-haired, shotgun-toting man he inherited the meh-est quarter of his DNA from, living deep in the woods in a converted bus.

Congratulations to Jughead, the newest Baxter Brothers writer! DuPont announces this major development more than a little abruptly, in the middle of their seminar, because this is the mid-season finale, people, and we need to keep shit moving.
