-[Archie] Previously on
Riverdale...
-[Agent Adams] Archie Andrews,

I'm Special Agent Adams
with the FBI.

We believe Hiram Lodge
is conducting
criminal activity.

You're in a unique position
to help us take him down.

[Archie] I need some
assurance from you.

That no matter
what happens to Mr. Lodge,

my dad is gonna be okay.

I can protect your father.

But effective immediately,

[on PA] Southside High School
is shut down.

Well, it's done.

After a few weeks,
we'll quietly go about

purchasing the land
beneath Southside High.

And you'll get
your sizable donation

to your re-election campaign.

Daddy, this is...

Archie Andrews.

The boy who has captured
my daughter's heart.

I hope we can
respect each other.

Of course, Mr. Lodge.

No more sneaking into
my daughter's bedroom.

Even

[Penelope] You wanted me
to get a job, Cheryl,
and I did.

Providing comfort
and companionship

to the lonely men
of Riverdale.

You remember that baby
my mom put up for adoption?

-Hey! Let go of my brother.
-[screaming]

[Alice] You'll be safe here.

[Jughead] One week after
Riverdale High 's absorption
of its Southside counterpart,

and everything was the same.

And nothing was the same.

Take Archie Andrews.

On the surface,
he's getting ready
for basketball tryouts,

as he does every winter.

But underneath,
he was churning,

his life in chaos

after an unexpected visit
from the Feds.

Meanwhile, the town
was preparing to honor

its founding father,
General Augustus Pickens.

-[keyboard clacking]
-Mr. Jones, eyes up front.

Thank you, Mrs. Haggly.

[sighs] As I was saying,

each year, we honor
the memory of General Pickens,

yet few know the truth.

[projector clicks]

That it was my great-great-
great-grandpappy
Colonel Barnabas B. Blossom,

who bankrolled General
Pickens' settlement of,

"...an Eden along the river
of Sweetwater,

where maple trees grow
taller than the steeples

of Europe's
grandest cathedrals."

Which is why
every year I petition
the mayor's office

to rename Pickens Day.

[school bell rings]

[Mrs. Haggly]
Thank you for that, Cheryl.

Mr. Jones,

we look forward to your
oral history report next week.

The students we transferred to
Riverdale High are fine,

but their parents
are in my office,

every day, wanting me
to reopen Southside High.

Which is why we've
been discussing how
our new neighborhood

could use something
positive to focus on.

With your blessing,
we'd like to make
Pickens Day

bigger,
more of a celebratory event.

[Hiram] Sponsored by
Lodge Industries.

And Andrews Construction
co-sponsoring.

You mean you wanna turn
Pickens Day

into a commercial for
your SoDale project

like your open house?

[Veronica] Au contraire,
Madam Mayor.

The open house
was for investors,

but this event would be for
North and Southsiders alike.

Two halves of a whole
coming together--

And trying to distract people
with a party?

What if it backfires
and things get violent?

No. What about the Serpents?
They've been quiet lately,
but they're wild cards

and they could cause trouble.

[Hiram]
We've thought of that.

And so we've offered
to hire them as security
for the event.

Fred, you're on board
with this?

[Fred] FP told me
the Serpents are
looking for work,

figured we'd let 'em
keep the peace.

I'm sure you had your reasons
for closing down
Southside High,

but this is an opportunity
to let the Southside know

that you're not turning
your back on them.

Hey,Dad.

Hey,bud.

Archie.

Sorry to interrupt.

Mind if [join you guys?

-Actua|ly, we were
just finishing up.
-Mmm-hmm.

Thanks, Fred, for having us.

Madam Mayor,
you'll let us know
in the morning?

Hey, Mr. Lodge.

Excuse me, Archie.

Hey.

Oh, um, I'd kiss you,
but you're sweaty.

So, how long do you plan
on staying with us, Chic?

For as long as he wants.

I'm just trying to plan
my life, Alice.

And since we're not getting
any answers about anything...

What would you
like to know, Hal?

For starters,
Betty brought you here
all bloody.

Why? What happened?

Dad.

You don't have to, Chic.

The person who attacked me,
his name's Marcel.

He runs the hostel.

Sometimes, he books
clients for us.

The night you showed up,
Betty, I wasn't in
the mood to work.

Marcel was trying
to convince me otherwise.

So, what, uh...
what kind of clients?

Hal!

-No, I wanna know, too.
-Betty.

All kinds.

Ranging from nice to,
hell, even nastier
than Marcel.

I can go into specifics
if you'd like.

I've also got a pretty good
collection of scars
I could show you.

I have scars, too.

Crescent moons on my palms.

From digging your nails in.

-Yeah.
-Yeah, I used
to do that, too.

Syrup.

[Alice clears throat]

If and when
the US government

brings actions against
Hiram Lodge

before any
domestic court of law,

that agreement ensures
your father's immunity.

This is nuts.

The Lodges were just
at my house planning a party.

When was this? Who was there?

Last night.

And it was Mr. And Mrs. Lodge,
my dad, the sheriff,
Mayor McCoy.

That's it.

Why weren't you a part of this?

Because I was
playing basketball.

Agent Adams, what can we do
to speed things up?

ljust... I wanna
get through this

and back to my life,
my normal life.

Do you have any relationship
with Hiram Lodge,
directly with him?

[scoffs]

Nothing. He doesn't even
like me.

Then let's change that.

You have to establish trust.

Get him to lower
his guard around you.

The sooner you get access
to his inner circle,

the sooner we'll get
what we need
to bring him in.

And then, you can go back

to playing in the band
with your pals 'n' gals.

Well, he's very fetching
for someone who was
living on Skid Row.

Yeah, he's a hottie
who looks incredibly
familiar to me, by the way.

Your adventures in the woods?

I don't know, but maybe
if we were allowed to meet
this hottie in person...

[Betty]
Chic '5 still acclimating.

And I'm trying
to get him to trust me,

but my mom is treating him
like he's a ten-year—old

and my dad's acting like
he's the devil's spawn.

Well, I have an amazing idea.

Bring The Omen to Pickens Day
and we can all meet him.

Everyone's coming, right?

No, because the Serpents
weren't invited.

The Serpents were
specifically asked to come.

Yeah, to provide security.

It's like we're all on
the Snowpiercer train,

but the Serpents happen
to be the ones eating
the cockroaches.

[Veronica]
You don't have to work
if you don't want to.

[sighs]
The damage, as they say,
has already been done.

Talk to you guys later.

Plans with Toni?

Uh, yeah, I'm interviewing
her grandfather

for my oral history report.

The oldest living Serpent.

[Veronica] Archie, what is it?

Look, I feel stupid
even talking about this,

but...
it's about your dad.

I kind of get the feeling
he doesn't really like me.

What?

No, that's not...
That's not true.

Okay, maybe it's a little true,

but it's not anything
you're doing, per se,

it's more that...

Well, for starters,
you don't speak Spanish.

I can drop French
and start taking Spanish.

[chuckles]

This is really
bothering you, isn't it?

To be honest, yeah.

Do you have any suggestions
on what I can do?

To endear yourself to Daddy?

Well, now that we're
talking about it.

[Archie] What,
your dad likes wrestling?

[Veronica] He was captain
of Riverdale High's

wrestling team back in the day.

Says it changed his life.

Now that the season's
starting back up, it's like

my mom and I are
background extras
in the movie Foxcatcher.

Wrestling? Really?

[Veronica] Lodge Industries
basically bankrolls
the team.

He was just talking
to his old coach

asking if he could
sit in on tryouts.

God, Ronnie, you know
what's super weird?

I was just telling Reggie
how I was gonna
take a break

from basketball this year
to try something new.

It would absolutely
score you some points
with my dad.

[Jughead] Thanks again
for meeting with me.

Toni told me that you're
one of the founding members
of the Serpents.

Yes. The snake, the laws,

it's all based
on Uktena tradition.

Who were the Uktena?

Uktena is a serpent,

a horned serpent,
a water serpent.

Before there was a Riverdale,

all this land belonged
to the Uktena.

How did the Uktena evolve
into the Serpents?

[laughs]

The Uktena, we didn't evolve.

We were all slaughtered.

When my grandpa was a baby,
there was a raid,

and it was led by
your hero over there,
General Pickens.

The battle, if you want
to call it that...

only lasted for 12 minutes,

but the slaughter was total
and savage.

The General Pickens...

whose statue stands
proudly in Pickens Park?

Yes, and every year
the Northside honors this man
who massacred children.

When my grandpa died,

we formed the Serpents
as a way to keep
the family together.

How do people
not know about this?

Well, some do, but...

It's called
the whitewashing
of history, Jones.

What, did you think
Jason Blossom was
the first person

to be murdered in Riverdale?

[Josie] You know
I'm down to help,

but why can't it just be
the two of us singing
a duet at Pickens Day?

I mean it could be,

but the Pussycats are a brand.

Why let it sit fallow?

Josie. Veronica.

What's this all about?

We are bringing back
the Pussycats
to play Pickens Day.

And whose idea was that?

Uh, it was Veronica's.

Weren't we focusing
on your solo career?

We could bill it
as a special event,
one night only.

I was talking
to my daughter.

In fact, why don't we continue
this conversation later

when it's just the two of us?

[cell phone buzzing]

Hey, Kev, what's up?

Are you somewhere secure
where you can talk?

Yeah, why, what is it?

Betty, I-- I just remembered
where I know Chic from.

He's a video gigolo,
a webcam boy, a cyber-trick.

Mom...

a really weird thing happened

when I was
at Josie's last night.

Mayor McCoy was acting
like I was a bad seed,

out to corrupt her daughter.

I don't believe
Sierra is comfortable

with how we've let you
become involved in
the family business.

Why does she even care?

Maybe she's afraid
you're gonna tell Josie.

-I would never.
-Of course not, mija.

And I'm not making
excuses for Sierra.

In fact,

should her coldness persist,

I'll happily have
a conversation with her.

[indistinct chatter]

[Hiram] I thought
basketball was your sport.

-I'm branching out.
-Ah.

What are you
doing here, Mr. Lodge?

Just checking out the team.

You know, I wrestled
in high school.

ReaHy?
No, I didn't know that.

What weight class are you in?

175, but I'm trying
to get down to 170.

Hey, Andrews. It's a good thing
you're not in my weight class.

I'd wreck you,
Gingerbread Man.
[slaps]

[whistle blows]

Let's bring it in.

[student clears throat]

Firstly, I want to thank
a gentleman

who's really showing
his support for
the team this year.

He wrestled for me
my first year as coach.

That is Hiram "The Ram" Lodge.

Guys, let's show him
some appreciation.

[applause]

[Coach Kleats] Now listen up.

Not everyone's gonna
make the team this year.

There'll be cuts
every day, boys,

so make each match count.

All right. Pair off.

Up and downs. Let's go.

Archie. You do know
wrestling's not like football
or basketball, right?

I went up against Moose
in the Oklahoma Drill, Kev,

I'm good.

[sighs]

[whistle blows]

[grunts]

[Sheriff Keller] Thatta boy.

[Coach Kleats]
Okay, reset. Again.

[whistle blows]

[panting]

[Kevin]
It felt so good, Betty.

It's like, yeah, Archie,
you have the physique
of a 1970s porn star,

but that doesn't mean
you can wrestle.

Speaking of porn stars...

Did you get lost
down a webcam
rabbit hole last night?

It's... fascinating.

I brought Chic home
to help my mom

without knowing who he was,

and now to find out he's
actually multiple people,

performing online.

How do I broach that with him?

Do I broach that with him?

[knock at door]

Hey, am I interrupting?

-Yeah, kinda--
-No.

I just wanted to run
some stuff by you,
but I can come back.

No, no, no, it's fine.

By the way, I'm really digging
Kevin's new gossip column.

Readers love it.

And I needed to fill
the extra space when you...

I'm actually working
on a story right now.

Here.

When I interviewed
Toni's grandfather
for history class,

he had some pretty
intense things to say

about General Pickens.

But then I did some
follow-up research.

General Pickens was hired
by Barnabas B. Blossom

to remove
the Uktena tribe by force.

Betty, he killed

400 innocent men,
women and children.

Oh, my God! That's horrible.

And adding salt to the wound,

the last remnants
of the tribe, the Serpents,

are being squeezed
out of existence.

Toni's grandfather
lives in a trailer

the size of a broom closet.

And Hiram Lodge
is honoring this murderer

instead of trying
to make amends.

I think it's a story
we need to tell.

Are you gonna try
to get a quote
from Hiram Lodge?

[Veronica] Kevin told me
what happened.

You okay?

I'm fine. A bruised ego
more than anything.

But Kevin's gonna work
with me, get me up to speed.

Great.

But should you not be
a natural-born wrestler,

I thought of another way
you might curry
my father's favor.

Though Pickens Day
is taking a back seat
to his wrestling obsession,

he will be there.

And I suspect he'd
be tickled to see you singing
with me and Josie.

[door slams]

Chic, hey.

He threw out my stuff!

What, who did? What stuff?

Marcel, my landlord,
the guy you maced?

He got rid of everything.
Everything I need
to survive.

My laptop, my camera.

Wait. You went back there

and talked to him
after what he was
doing to you?

My entire life
was at that hostel.

Like my mom said,
you can stay here
as long you want.

You don't think
this is long-term, do you?

I don't know,
maybe it can be.

Wow. Wow.
If you believe that,

then you're even crazier
than I thought.

[phone ringing]

[phone clicks]

This is Hiram.

[Jughead] Hi, Mr. Lodge?
Yeah, this is Jughead Jones.

I'm writing an article about
how General Pickens

massacred the Uktena
tribe and stole the land
you're building on.

[stamp clicking]

[sighs]

[clattering]

[door opens]

I'm sorry he sold
all your stuff.

[door closes]

[sighs]

J‘J‘ Can you hear me? J'J‘

[guitar strumming]

N Am I drowned out
In the crowd J‘J‘

J‘J‘ Are you... J‘J‘

-[knock on door]
-[Hiram] Hey.

What are you guys
doing in here?

We're just working on
some Pickens Day songs.

Archie's agreed to help.

Yeah, but we can take it
to the living room--

No, no.

Not at all.

I have to say,
the thought of you two

being in here alone
used to upset me deeply.

But after seeing your
performance today, Archie,

for some reason
I'm less worried.

Daddy, be nice.

Not everyone can wrestle.

It takes a certain
kind of man.

Excuse me, "man"?

My point is there's no shame,
Archie, in admitting defeat.

And accepting the fact
that you're more suited to...

singing with the Pussycats.

Daddy...

Archie may not be
a star wrestler yet,

but he's an
incredible musician.

And bonus for me,
incredibly sexy
when he sings.

Thanks,babe.

Ah.

But on second thought,
maybe I shouldn't be

spreading myself
too thin these days.

Honesfly?

Yeah, I should get home,

practice some moves
Kevin showed me.

But I'll see you
at tryouts tomorrow,
I hope, Mr. Lodge?

Yeah.

Do you know who
used to sit there?

Dad...

Our daughter, Polly.

You sit in her chair,
you sleep in her bed.

You're filling a void.

That's the reason you're here,
the only reason.

[Chic] It's okay.

It doesn't bother me.

Everyone needs
something, right?

And I don't expect
to stay here for free.

I never have.

[whistle blows]

[Coach Kleats]
We're focusing on
fundamentals today.

Starting with
the fireman's carry.

And since it was
his signature move
back in the day,

I've asked Hiram Lodge
here to demonstrate.

Ram, will you do us the honor?

All right, then. [grunts]
I need a volunteer.

Archie Andrews.

Come on.

-What are you waiting for?
-Mr. Lodge?

Come at me. Come on.

This is a simple
but effective move

when your opponent gets cocky.

Dominating your rival,

demoralizing him,

is the key
if you want to win.

[gasps]

[whispering]
Get the message?

I always win.

[panting]

[Toni] "General Pickens
was a murderer...

and ripples from
his gruesome acts

continue to be felt today.

Descendants of the victims

are still being displaced.

instead of honoring men
like General Pickens
and Hiram Lodge,

hold them accountable.

Reparations must be paid
to men like Thomas Topaz,

who are too old
and beaten down

to fight back for themselves."

This town is messed up,

and it needs to
own up to its history.

My grandfather isn't some
broken-down victim, okay?

Or some prop
for your insane vendetta
against the Northside.

No, of course not.

Look, I get it.

You hate the Northside.

You hate that instead of
inviting you to a party,

they asked you to work it.

It triggers all your rage

about being born on
the wrong side of the tracks.
But this?

This wasn't your story to tell.

[sighing]

[Mayor McCoy]
I can't cancel Pickens Day,

but I don't want you
performing at it.

Not with the town
riled up over this article.

What if there's a riot?

No one's rioting, Mom,
and I promised Veronica.

Okay, well, I'm sorry.

You can tell her
that the Pussycats

aren't hers to order around.

Baby, let me tell you
something about Veronica...

and her parents

and the way they do business.

And the way they use
their daughter to do
their business.

J‘J‘ Nightshades on a warning J‘J‘

J'J‘ Give me strength
Or give me your light J‘J‘

J‘J‘ Give me anything
Even sympathy J‘J‘

J‘J‘ There's a chance-- J‘J‘

-You're late.
-I'm out.

I'm not performing
at Pickens Day.

Wait, what?

It's just I don't like being
manipulated by a Lodge.

What?

Josie, is your mom
making you do this?

My mom?

Whatever she and your parents
have going on,

that's between them.

She doesn't want me
to be a part of it.

My mom says that
she may have to do
what your parents want,

but I don't have to do
what you want.

What? Josie--

The cameras aren't here,
Jackie O.

And what about
Jughead's article?

What about it, Cheryl?

It says that Great-Great-
Great-Grandpappy Blossom

hired General Pickens
to steal land
from the Uktena.

Well, how do you think
we got started in
the maple syrup business?

Help me up.

But then that means our family
is partly responsible

for killing literally
hundreds of people.

For what? A bunch
of maple trees?

It wasn't just trees.

Dark, fertile earth.

A mighty river.

Back in those early days,
we had a hand in everything.

Building the railroads,

operating the saloons

and, yes, even a brothel.

The old ways die hard,
it seems.

[Kevin] You're definitely
getting better, Archie.

I appreciate the help.
Kevin. You're a legend.

Anytime.
Can I ask you something?

Why wrestling?

Why now? I mean, you're
trying to impress Mr. Lodge?

To be honest,
it didn't start there.

But now... [sighs]

Yeah, it's like there's
nothing I can do
to earn his respect.

And the more he looks
down on me,

the more I want to show him
that he's wrong.

Yeah, it's personal now.

[Chic] Why'd you
buy me that laptop?

Oh, um, I didn't.

It was just
an old computer I had
from The Register.

Why'd you come back to get me?

You're my brother.

And my mom was depressed.

No. Sorry, everything
is a transaction.

No one, not even you,
is that nice.

So why do you care, Betty?

What do you want?

And careful, I'll know
if you're lying.

To figure out why I am
the way that I am.

There's a darkness in me

that I don't understand.

That scares me.

And I thought that maybe
if you had it, too,

which I think you do,

you'd be able to help me
make sense of it.

I know about the webcamming.

That's why I got you
the computer.

So if you ever want
to talk about that

or compare scars--

No, thanks, I'll pass.

[Archie] I told the doorman
I was here to see Veronica.

And I'll have to speak
to Andre about that.

What is it, Archie?

Why don't you like me,
Mr. Lodge?

Why is that?
What did I ever do to you?

You're really asking me that?

You really don't know?

Yeah, I am,
and,no,ldon1.

Your father

slept with
another man's wife.

And why shouldn't I assume
you have the same
weak character?

I'm not my dad, Mr. Lodge.
I would never--

Maybe that's true,
but still

you're not good enough
for my daughter

in any respect.
You're not worthy.

I don't think that
you'll ever be able
to take care of her--

I took care of her while
you were in prison.

Excuse me?

When she and Mrs. Lodge
moved to Riverdale,

I was there
for your daughter
when you couldn't be.

You would say that to me?

In my house?

[Veronica] What the hell
is going on in here?

[Hiram] Veronica...
[clears throat]

Hey, we were just...

Having some juvenile
chest-thumping contest?

No, not at all, mija.
I just asked

Archie to come over
and plan some
one-on-one training.

Really?

Is that why it looks
like you're about
to kill each other?

[cell phone buzzing]

Hello?

[Hiram] Meet me outside
in five minutes.

Mr. Lodge?

What time is it?

[line disconnects]

[cell phone beeps]

[panting]

[Hiram] Thank you.

You know why I love
wrestling, Archie?

Because when it's
two men on the mat,

it doesn't matter
who you are

or where you come from,

or even how strong you are.

It's about sheer will

and knowing your opponent.

Maybe even better
than he knows himself.

Which is why, Archie...

you will never win.

What are you talking about?

Veronica...

has a lot on her plate
right now.

And I don't want her
worrying about us.

So after this morning,
we can say that
I helped you.

And that we went for a jog

and we broke bread together.

And I will tolerate you

until this phase
runs its course.

"Runs its course"?

You're not the first boy
who has turned
my daughter's head.

You see, boyfriends,

they come and they go.

But fathers...

Fathers are forever.

[Hermione]
You're not hungry, mija?

Is it Archie and your dad?

[sighs] No, it's Josie.

We got into a fight

and she dropped out
of Pickens Day.

I see.

And this is Sierra's doing,
I assume?

That's it.

I'm taking care of this.

No, Mom. It's like you said,

our family works differently
from other families.

And if Josie and Mayor McCoy
don't like the way
we do business,

that's on them.

But the show must go on.

[Jughead] I was angry.

Because the Southside
is our home.

I'm sick of watching it
get dismantled

piece by piece
in front of our eyes.

They take our drive-in.

Then they take our school.

lam.

I shouldn't have
used your story

or what happened
to the Uktena
against the Northside.

I had no right...

[sighs]

I had no right.

I'm sorry.

Whatever your reasons were,

you opened an old wound.

Now, something
has to be done
to heal it.

Do you have something
in mind, Grandpa?

[rock music playing
over earphones]

What are you doing here?

Daddy invited me.

He told me it was
your last day of tryouts

and that I should come watch.

He says you guys
had a good talk.

Anyway, not that you need it,

but good luck.

I'll be up in the stands,
cheering you on.

[whistle blows]

Gather around, boys.

We're gonna change
things up a bit.

First up on the mat is Andrews,

who is going up
against Clayton.

Wait.

Coach, isn't Chuck in
a higher weight class
than me?

Damn, Andrews.
You sound like
my little sister.

Come on.
Time for Thunderdome.

[Coach Kleats]
Enough chatter.
In the center. Now.

[whistle blows]

Archie.

That's right, Archie.
Get him.

[grunting]

[Coach Kleats] One. Two...

three!

[cheering]

[applause]

Eat up.

Can't have
an empty stomach
for Pickens Day.

Especially since it'll be
our first outing as a family.

Actually, I'm, uh...
I'm staying behind.

I have a few odd jobs
to catch up on around
the house.

Fine, Hal, I won't beg.

Salad.

[drums playing]

[band music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

Sierra,
I'm so glad you made it.

And, Josie, I'm sorry
you won't be
singing with us today.

After that article came out,
I forbade her to, Hermione.

I was worried.

After all, we can't be too
careful when it comes
to our children.

That was a surprise, Archie...

your victory over Clayton.

Thank you, sir.

Are we done, Mr. Lodge?

Come by the Pembrooke tonight.

We should talk
about some things.

I'll be there, sir.

[Alice] Have you ever had
a maple snow-cone?

I have not.
Is it delicious?

Oh, Chic...
Betty, I'm so happy.

Mom, Mom...

Alice.

Hal, I thought you said
you weren't coming.

Do you know what
you've let into our house?

In the room next to Betty's?

Would you lower your voice?

And what on earth
are you talking about?

I went on your
computer, Chic.

I saw what you were
doing online with
your clients.

Dad, stop.

Stop snooping and stop
harassing him.

And I don't want
to hear it from you.

You bring home
this... stranger

and move him
into Polly's bedroom?

It's not Polly's room
anymore, Hal.
It's Chic's.

He has to go, Alice,
and you know
damn well why.

Hal, I swear,
I threw you out once,
I'll do it again.

I'm so sorry, honey.

Come on.
Let's get a snow cone.

[microphone feedback]

Hello, Riverdale.
[clears throat]

-Happy Pickens Day.
-[people cheer]

On behalf of Lodge Industries
and Andrews Construction,

we are thrilled
to kick things off

with a new twist
on an old favorite.

So, Veronica
and the Pussycats.

[applause and cheering]

[music stops]

Toni? Jughead?
What the hell is going on?

We're here representing
the dead and the silenced.

Pickens Day is a lie.

General Pickens
slaughtered the Uktena tribe,

my grandfather's family.

And this land,

the land that we 're
standing on,

the land that will
soon give way to
a new Southside,

And we can't bring them back,

but we can
and we must honor them.

Hey, folks, hi. Uh...

I think we can all be proud
to live in a Riverdale

where young people
stand up for justice.

Where a young woman

can defend the honor
and legacy of her grandfather.

And where we can celebrate
the living legacy
of the Uktena,

who contribute
to the rich tapestry
that is Riverdale,

that is the Southside
and that will be SoDale.

So let's hear a round
of applause for that,
am I right?

[applause]

That's right.
What do you say, people?

[applause continues]

No.

How about we get you
a proper dessert, Hal?

It looks like you could
use some company,

and I've got nowhere
I need to be.

[Chic] Can I come in?

Sure.

Betty, I have
a confession to make.

The first night I was here,

I came into your room
while you were sleeping.

What?

I kept waking up that night

trying to understand,

"Why would this girl
go back to that place
for me?"

But I think, maybe,
I understand now.

You're alone here.

We'll start with why I webcam.

One of the reasons
is to make money.

The other reason is
to escape.

To pretend to be someone else.

Yes, but...

more than that...

it's a way of getting away
from the darkness
I feel inside me, too.

Can you show me how to do that?

[keyboard clacking]

[Jughead] And so,
with the stroke
of a few keys,

the dark education
of Betty Cooper had begun.

And also, perhaps,

the criminal apprenticeship
of Archie Andrews.

[Hiram] Let's start with
a blank slate, Archie.

Where do you see yourself
in five years?

In college. Hopefully
on some type of
athletic scholarship.

To study music?

No, that was the old me.

Now I'm thinking
more like... business.

Hmm.

Maybe one day I'll even be able

to buy back
Andrews Construction from you.

Archie,

as long as you're
dating Veronica,

I'm going to demand
the best from you...

and that requires
learning from the best.

How would like to start
your business tutelage
under my shepherding?

[cell phone buzzes]

Sorry about that, Mr. Lodge.

You mean like an internship?

[Jughead] That night,
plans would be made...

-[keyboard clacking]
-...aIIiances would be formed,

and a horrifying
act of desecration
would be committed...

Must've happened
late last night or
early this morning.

Well, Hiram, Hermione,

it's your show now.

How would you like
this handled?

Swiftly, and with
extreme prejudice.

I believe we all know
who the most likely
suspects are.

I mean, you tell me.

Isn't this something
the Serpents would do?

[Jughead] ...ensuring that
the town '5 civil war

would go from a possibility
to an inevitability.
