Well, actually,shewas good, but the rest of this weeks episode?
Lets just say one of the Blossom twins is lucky he didnt have to watch it.
Dont get me wrong:Riverdaleis doing things for my soul that I thought impossible in 2017.
And no, her temporary arrest is not to blame.
Moreover, Archies July 4th confession makes its way from Sheriff Keller back toMr.
Andrews, who thought Archie had gone on that road trip with Jughead.
(So, Fred knew things werent chill with Jughead but also thought things were chill with Jughead?
Not the big takeaway here, I know, but still.)
Do you know why were called the Pussycats?
So if you think that you could just write my experience… A suspicious Sheriff Keller is there, as are the bereavedBlossoms.
Not thatthatwould be compelling or anything, nooo.
Most exciting of all, theresMrs.
Cooper, whose confrontation with the other adult women in town is a scene I have been eagerly awaiting.
It was, ultimately, not as bonkers as Id hoped.
(Were safe on that front,for now.)
Freds a cool dad.
Jughead calls the revelation Pandoras box, which seems maybe just a little dramatic.
Betty, meanwhile, goes after her journalistic endeavor in a sassy adventure this week with Veronica.
Furious with Chuck, Veronica enlists Betty to help her confront Chuck to remove the photo.
One of these girls?
ETHEL MUGGS!!!
