Ahh , Riverdale . It ’s so dependable to have this show , and its complete cultism to going for it , back . We ’ve find out that this season will have “ Dark Archie . ” Well , if the premiere is any meter reading , that essentially just means Archie ’s a peter .
This twelvemonth ’s mystery is apparently going to be “ Who shoot Fred Andrews and why ? ” It ’s gon na take a while to project out because everyone has a motive because everyone in Riverdale has a motive for slaying .
Fred Andrews get shot interrupts Veronica drinking the Cristal her mom bought for her dad getting out of prison ( that it was for a exceptional occasion bothers her more than her mellow schooler boozing ) , Veronica ’s mammy question her about her sex life , and Jughead ’s contemplations about his jail bird father .
Once at the hospital , we are treated to some of Riverdale ’s fine bits of dialogue as Archie calls his mom . “ How are you ? Good , yeah , good . Actually Mom , we ’re not , we ’re in trouble here . Dad ’s in the infirmary . It was a looting and he was shot . ” atomic number 82 WITH THE GUNSHOT , ARCHIE . If it bleeds , it leads . The Coopers could have separate you that .
Betty is also the only individual not question if maybe her family is to charge . Because Jughead thinks that one of the Southside Serpents that Fred fired might have shot him . Jughead asks the Serpents , who see him as one of them , to look in every “ hidey muddle ” and see if they can discover out who did it . Veronica , however , thinks her female parent say the smash . fundamentally , last season , there was a whole affair where Hermione Lodge want Fred to sell his share in a company they possess together , because her married man was go to be out of jail soon and he and Fred “ would n’t get along . ” Veronica make love this , and she confronts her female parent , who responds , “ Get back in line with this family . Because you are a Lodge before anything else . I should slap you for what you just adumbrate , but I ’m not a violent person . ” Every parent in Riverdale is great .
Veronica gets nowhere with her family , but the solvent of Jughead asking the Serpents to help is a bloodied human beings is drive home to his trailer . He was bragging about Fred getting what he deserved , and so the Serpents consider he might be who Jughead is looking for . Jughead , by the way , is rationalize all of this to Betty by say that his pappa ’s gang , preview , and Southside Serpents crownwork makes him feel closer to his immure father .
In character maturation news , Veronica pronounce she ’s bad at comfort . And give that she mystify naked and joins Archie in the shower as he moisten off all his dad ’s blood , she might be veracious . But then Archie ’s choler flares up and he tries to fight Veronica away through the clock time - test way of “ being a gumshoe . ” It almost works , but Veronica refuses to go , tell Archie needs her . It ’s character growth , and ontogeny she ’ll need since her pop is introduced at the conclusion of this episode literally sit in shadow and asking for a kiss from his loving daughter .
Archie also has a breakdown this episode about how he did n’t do anything after his dad was shoot , just sat there frozen in terror . And he closed his eyes when the guy wire put the gun to his head and did n’t open them til he discover the guy provide . For some reason , “ being afraid of the guy with a gun who just shot his dad ” fills Archie with deep shame . I mean , I guess it is ? But only in the context of use of everyone else in Riverdale ’s much higher level of trauma and dealing with it shockingly well . In real living , it ’s a absolutely human reply that is very perceivable and not black .
This has shaken Archie so much that , while his dad convalesces , he ’s taken to standing guard over his home by sitting on a box by the front door with a baseball bat . Because … trusted , why the pit not ? You go , Dark Archie . You … posture there with a bat while people one township over get murdered .
Yeah , that find at the end of the sequence . Lest you think it was a one - time deal , goad by true sexual love , the episode ends with the return of Ms. Grundy . She ’s sexing up a pianoforte pupil of hers over in Greendale , pretty much the same way she did with Archie . Only not so much anymore , because a masked figure kill total out of nowhere to kill her . I ’m certain that wo n’t cause Archie to further spiral at all .
I want to centre on Archie , but oh my god Cheryl is in amazing shape in this episode . After setting her mansion on fire last season , she ’s tell everyone that her momma got burn from save her from an stroke . “ I might have decease if not for mommy ’s heroics , ” is her alibi .
Also , she tells her female parent to go along or , you know , everything will get bad .
Also , also , she shows up in Fred Andrews ’ hotel room , just to creepily say to Archie , “ You give me the candy kiss of liveliness Archie Andrews , now I ’ve given it to your dad . ” Cheryl ’s die completely assault the kink .
As he struggles for living , Fred Andrews is in a dreamland where Archie crop with him at “ Andrews and Son Construction ” and proposed to Veronica . There are bagpipes at the fantasy wedding .
The actual skillful shot in the episode may be tonic asking Betty and Jughead if they ’re athirst , and their co-occurrent answers . Betty : No . Jughead : Always .
This means Jughead eat a burger in the premiere . Progress !
