Riverdale 1.03 Chapter Three: Body Double

Riverdale 1.03 Chapter Three: Body Double
After last week's episode, I'm glad the issue of suppressing and silencing women was the foreground story. With current events today, I am glad to see there are other forms of media being influential and positive. Gender equality is an ongoing fight and human right. I'm happy to see the dominant female heroines of the show take matters into their own hands and stick up for each other. Josie and the Pussycats are FANTASTIC with what they symbolically stand for as strong women of minority. Mentioning how their mother got hate mail and harassed when elected mayor is truly something that happens in current events. Loving the relevancy of this show and the subject of woman empowerment (except for the predator that is Miss Grundy).

Slut-shaming jocks? Okay I hope that's the end of it. Keeping "score" in their lame book really says something. I wonder if Jason's agreement was to keep his sister off limits to it all. It's disgusting and I have a feeling that may be a starting motive for the death.

Cheryl Blossom has a bucket of secrets! I understand her sticking up for her brother's story, but I don't know why all the hoops the town had to jump through just to get to half of the truth. I'd like to think Mrs. Cooper or Betty did this to Jason. Only because Betty "forgets" and blacks out when it comes to what happened to her sister Polly. Also, it would be good of her mom doing tough love to cover up the truth with what happened. I think torture is wrong, but the one to benefit from getting rid of Jason are the Coopers (maybe it was the Mr. Cooper? He hasn't come forward with his feelings in all of this). I'm liking all the change happening in this town.

It's all making sense Dilton saw Miss Grundy's car that day! He must have been busy trying to hide his gun and saw them together in a hurry? I wonder if there are other witnesses in all of this. It sucks Jughead is caught in the middle of all of this, but he sounds like the conscious one trying to help Archie out.

I wonder if we'll find out the history of Hermione Lodge with the rest of the town. I was hoping we would see more of the true colours with their past, but it may get messy with too much character stories. I'm thinking Mrs. Cooper creates a lot of enemies (possibly because of her profession or maybe due to the nature of Polly's placement in the mental institution).

Definitely looking forward to reviewing next week's episode after the preview on Miss Grundy's identity.
