Riverdale 1.11 Chapter Eleven: To Riverdale and Back Again
I don't know why there's so many breaks inbetween the series, but I am happy to hear it got picked up for a second season. I also discovered Mark Consuelos was casted as Hiram Lodge. I wonder if he will show up by the end of this season.
It's a nice change to see the school hold a winter formal dance! Took me back to the semi-formals I would have in school. I thought the pre-formal dinner with Mrs. Cooper was inappropriate. I'm glad F.P. retaliated though implying Alice and Hal had troubles of their own for a while. It could have possibly been an early pregnancy with Polly? Alice's South Side Serpent past?
I think Betty is taking things too far with protecting Jughead and arguing with her friends. Her judgement is clouded and she goes overboard in certain areas. Has anyone contemplated she could have blacked out at one point and murdered Jason Blossom? That was MY first suspicion at the beginning of the season before concluding I think it was an adult and not a student. I think Kevin would be a scandal since he is the sheriff's son. The sheriff would do everything in his power to protect him, but that's another version of clouded judgement. I stand by my theory that it's an adult with the capability and sources to commit murder.
I don't know who has the capability of planting a gun and safe locker in a trailer. They had to be watching Archie and Veronica to make sure they were okay to enter. It's good they went out to mend things with Betty to explain themselves. At least they know someone is framing F.P. and at least they're willing to make things right on Jughead's behalf.
The Andrews are so sweet together! I admit I was unsure once Archie's mom, Mary, came back in the last episode. I thought it meant the departure of Archie (and ultimately the TV show if they didn't get renewed). I really like Archie's mom though. She's all around nice and is kind to everybody, regardless of their past. She also takes the high road when the likes of Alice try to stomp down with unnecessary gossip. If Mary Andrews comes around, maybe that answers my question that it's not too late to bring Hiram Lodge back as well.

Riverdale 1.10 Chapter Ten: The Lost Weekend
Riverdale 1.10 Chapter Ten: The Lost Weekend
Do high school kids get bored with their lives that they invite themselves to people's homes? I don't understand rude children with no respect, but I guess when you're privileged you're not taught better. I felt this episode showed the version of a stereotypical high school, complete with cliques.
It looks like Kevin's boyfriend Joaquin has a soft spot. F.P. is trying to secure Jughead's safety while also watching his own back. It's crazy to watch but I believe Joaquin will eventually do what's best for Kevin. I think the relationship has become real to them and the South Side Serpent gang isn't going to have too much pull.
I'm glad Veronica fought back in Archie's house against Cheryl. From the beginning, people didn't bother to put together her love for Jason sounded incestuous and inappropriate. I think that it's finally come clear that Veronica's past makes her stronger in Riverdale. It has nothing to do with the money her last name has but more so the fact she knows to be a better version of herself.
Chuck is a pig and I can't believe he was brought back. I understand he was briefly suspended but it doesn't excuse the fact he degrades women. Typical jock who thinks he's privileged and deserves to go play football for a college. It reminds me of the stories of victims from The Hunting Ground. It's a 2015 documentary of young women and men who did not have the support of their schools. It was heartbreaking to see all the victims who were body shamed because the rapists got the support of their schools for their athletic ability. Many good police officers (only one came forward for the documentary) and faculty lost their careers because they wanted to do the right thing and support the women who filed reports. This documentary was well done and is an example of how athletes get a free pass in American schools.
I understand how Jughead doesn't like celebrating his birthday. I have two siblings who aren't phased by celebrating their day either, but I know that if you at least have the birthday cake and loved ones around you, that's all that should matter. I'm glad he climbed out of his shell and let everybody throw him the party. Even though Archie was trying to get over his break up with Valerie, the result was to make sure Jughead had a birthday party.
I'm liking the Archie and Veronica pairing, especially since Veronica is a nice girl for him as well. Although, I think Archie was acting on impulse on his post Valerie break-up.
I'm glad F.P. did the right thing by trying to mend Jughead's birthday. It's a good thing he got involved and made sure Jughead knew Betty was a good girl for him. We're seeing the genuine side of F.P. and this is why i think he just got mixed up with the wrong people at a moment in time.

Riverdale 1.09 Chapter Nine: La Grande Illusion
Riverdale 1.09 Chapter Nine: La Grande Illusion
I knew Polly staying with the Blossoms was a set-up for a bigger trap. She made it seem like she was a hostage, but it sounds like she's posing as a victim herself around the Blossom estate. I think they've felt entitled all their lives that bullying comes as natural as breathing.
I feel it's really nice Veronica is extending her kindness towards Ethel. Something she genuinely wanted to do was later fuelled by guilt. I have a feeling her dad's involvement with illegal doings may unravel something bigger. Maybe not necessarily Jason's murder, but it could open more doors to everything else. Did I hear Hermione Lodge say that Clifford Blossom wears a wig? I couldn't stop laughing at that comment under her breath!
I can't handle Archie sometimes. He gets blinded that Cheryl's family actually wanted to do something in his best interest. It's all a political game to see out the Blossoms come out on top. Entertaining the idea of trying to succeed on the wrong side of the fence only puts you in their debt. I'm glad he was able to eavesdrop and get out while he could. It was getting pretty intense though with Cheryl showing how vulnerable she is in her home. It makes sense (but does NOT justify) how her behaviour changes at school. Is she really that desperate that Archie needed to hold a bucket in place for tree sap?
If the Blossoms are involved with tossing Hiram Lodge into jail, maybe they're also responsible for all the mishaps in Riverdale. I don't believe everything is as black and white as everybody makes it seem. Depending on who killed Jason, I feel there's more than one person involved. In order to get away with murder, you'll need accomplices to cover it up. On the flip side, you have to be excellent at covering up or well connected to do it on your own.
