I'm not super sure why she lied to Jughead & Betty. Like, did she arrange for the Gargoyle King to attack them? I thought she & the dead boys were scared of it.

This week largely felt like a part 2 to last week's, although I did enjoy Ronnie finally evolving the show into a true CW Original by opening yet another night club.

The post-coital scene between FP and Alice followed by one between Jughead and Betty was... a choice.

Also lol at Ethel immediately trying to kill herself after kissing Jughead.

Do you know around when in the episode it is? Haven't watched yet but I don't mind opening Netflix in a tab and skimming through for you.

e:

this thumbnail has me concerned that ruining a RENT song wasn't enough and now the show is moving on to ruin a Chicago song

It's actually, like, uh, kinda good.

In the way that Riverdale is definitely not (but makes Riverdale super watchable).

I'm kind of shocked.

(First two episodes are actually one super extended pilot though, watch out).

I enjoyed the first two episodes! It's much more lighthearted than I expected; not that it's jokey--more like optimistic. I'll definitely be watching the rest. There's a bit of camp, but just enough that it doesn't overpower the tone of the show. Also, I wouldn't call it horror, although it's shot like one; if anything I'd say it was closer to Buffy than Riverdale or Afterlife With Archie.

You're sure about that? He was kinda oblivious to everything in season one. Unless you count the work he did for his dad.

The warden and guards deliberately gave that book to Arch to remiind him, "You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your opponent in the Leopold and Loeb juvenile detention centre's underground Fight Club."

Archie has the worst impulse control. And he makes the worst snap decisions. He could have traded that bottle of booze for another pair of sneakers.

Can someone remind me about his reasons for claiming to be guilty of murder in court?
Did he think prison would be easier than being under house arrest and having another trial?!
And he already said he did the murder so planning and leading a prison break IMO would be counter-productive to whatever plan he had going in to the detention centre.

If he tries to escape and fails, he could be mad-dogged. If he tries to escape and succeeds, he's a fugitive. Even if the murder is eventually pinned on someone else he'd still go back to prison for breaking out.

The trial was pretty much finished but the jury couldn't decide. Either he was guilty, or they would have to lock him up for quite a few years.
Because the prosecution knew that they would probably lose the case, due to lack of real evidence, they offered a deal for reduced sentence if he admits guilt.
Of course, despite his lawyermom's wishes he took that terrible deal in an instant, because

Also, he was feeling guilty not because he killed anybody, but because he COULD have killed somebody. Which in Archie's mind is the same as murder because he's an idiot.

Basically, when faced with any choice Archie will make the wrong decision. No matter how obvious the right choice is, or how easy the wrong choice is to avoid, or how many characters in universe are yelling at him "Don't be stupid Archie! make the right choice! Please!", he'll still find someway to punch himself in the dick for no goddamn reason.

Well, there is one exception. He did save Cheryl's life. That would have been quite a waste of a good character.

He didn't lose control, he got into character and stayed there. That's retaining control.
