And Perry was,by all accounts, as kind offscreen as he was on it, in character.

The rest ofRiverdales episodes will bededicatedto his memory.

He will be sorely missed.

This week, we get to see Alice in fine I Will Sell This House Today form.

But her touches inspired by DVRed episodes ofMillion Dollar Listingare no use.

Could this be the path to redemption for Archie, a recent fugitive himself?

A one-teen chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters?

(The college system processs overemphasis on extracurriculars is truly dangerous.)

Ricky is nowhere to be found at the Chocklit Shoppe.

Sure, the kid has serious issues, but he also has real talent!

When Hirams guest begins to heckle her, she, naturally, pulls a knife from the stage.

Perhaps Veronicas arrangement isnt going as smoothly as shed hoped.

Ronnie meets with Toni and offers the Pretty Poisons full-time employment as La Bonne Nuits muscle.

And so the Pretty Poisons dutifully bar both Mrs. Jones and Mr. Jones at the speakeasys door.

They need to start showing Veronica, and her business, some respect.

Most of them (Tall Boy, miscellaneous nuns from the Sisters of Quiet Mercy, etc.)

have been crossed out, but two remain: Archie Andrews and Ricky Dee.

Luckily, Jughead and Sweet Pea manage to break their friends fall.

With the help of FP, Jughead develops a plan to reenergize his rudderless Serpents.

The Sheriffs Department will deputize the gang to help with investigations, for both money and school credit.

Now that hes hanging exclusively with his new Farmie friends, Kevin ices out Betty, a detractor.

The action heats up, literally, when Betty tails Kev to Fox Forest.

I mean … firewalking probably shouldnt be supervised by teenagers, but this is aThing People Do.

Its not like Betty watched them drive a stake through Kevins heart.

Alice, of course, already spilled all the family secrets to little L. Farm Hubbard over here.

Their little family happily reunited, Ricky and Archie practice boxing and play video games together.

Ricky, conveniently, chooses this exact moment to start acting extremely creepy.

With a large knife swiped from the Andrews kitchen, he tells Archie he needs tofinish what Joaquin started.

In fact, Ricky gave himself the brand and added his own name to wall.

He slashes Archie with the knife just as Fred comes home.

Young Ricardo flees again, this time leaving a Kill the Red Paladin quest card behind.

Betty hangs out in her bedroom, staring at a lit candle.

Shes about to place her hand over the flame when her mother pops in to check on her.

Instead, Betty takes the candle downstairs and surveys her already mostly boxed-up living room.

Alice comes home from running errands to find the house burning down.

Arson, or ar-daughter?
