TVLINE | So Cheryl is seeing visions of Jason again, and her mom is starting this church. It starts to open the door between those two. I will say that, I think it’s in Episode 16, Cole and Lili have this beautiful scene that’s almost like a one-act play, and it’s just the two of them talking about what their lives have been like without each other, and it’s so beautiful. I think they’ve got a bit of a journey and their own stuff to sort out. All I’ll say is I think they have to first rebuild their friendship, and they have to kind of unpack that voicemail, which is so dark, and Cole committed to so wholeheartedly. I think that Betty and Jughead have a lot more of a distance, a gap to bridge than Archie and Veronica. TVLINE | Speaking of reunions, I have to ask if there’s any chance that we’ll see Betty and Jughead patch things up. It sort of makes you ache for that reunion and pray for it. I love that scene, though, toward the end of, with Archie and Veronica in the diner, because they so clearly love each other and they so clearly want to be with each other, and KJ and Cami have such amazing chemistry. I will say that in, that conversation where Archie and Veronica decide to not get back together and to not immediately dive into a relationship until they have their house in order is a very fateful decision that will resonate in a huge way throughout the rest of the season. We’ve got a lot more to do with Chad, unfortunately. Are they, and is Chad out of the picture at this point?Ĭhad is still very much in the picture. TVLINE | It looks like Archie and Veronica are inching closer to a reconciliation. By the end of the season, I would say that he and Betty are working together to try to bring Polly home. But he does get involved in Betty’s mystery and Polly’s mystery. Jughead’s big mystery is sort of unpacking what happened to him in those seven years in New York, what led to him leaving that crazy message. So does this mean we’ll see his mission and Betty’s mission start to overlap? TVLINE | We saw Jughead hitchhiking and getting into that truck at the end of the episode, which we know is bad news. Read on to get the latest on Archie and Veronica’s relationship, a possible reunion for Betty and Jughead… and Cheryl’s fragile mental state. The foundation is in place for later episodes that can deliver a deliciously dark story that will entertain and allow its actors to blossom in their roles.Riverdale EP Previews Season 5 Return, Jughead Hitting ‘Rock Bottom,’ Josie and the Pussycats’ ‘Triumphant’ EncoreĪfter all that chaos, TVLine turned to Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa for answers. The first episode moves quickly, but not so quickly that viewers cannot follow. The show embraces them and even makes fun of them. And some of them date back to the forties, when Andy Hardy (the original inspiration for Archie comics) entertained us all with his teenage dramas. Others may grow weary of the usual tropes: the mean head cheerleader, the gay best friend, the closeted gay jock, the handsome athletic main character, the first day at the new school for the outsider. Many standard themes of teen dramas are also part of this show, which may make it feel like home for some viewers. In the first episode, various secrets are alluded to, promising even more complications and conflicts than were revealed in the first installment. Veronica (who just moved to Riverdale), sees herself as plagued by family history and publicity, but she wants to become a better person. Betty (his best friend) sees herself as inadequate, but she wants Archie to be more than a friend. Archie sees himself as flawed, but he wants to make music his life and vocation. The show features the characters we expect, but they are multi-dimensional, with problems and desires and secrets. The universe of "Riverdale" is darker, promising that if you look closer, you can see the "shadows underneath". A version of "Archie" was even in bubble gum wrappers for a couple of years. Maybe not as goofy as "Scooby Doo", but it was a wholesome (you might say "square") universe. The Archie Comics that originated in the 1940s were rated "G" for Goofy.
