Previously on Riverdale...

I don't think
I can go back to Riverdale.

Hiram is gonna
follow you, or us, wherever we go.

- Where is he?
- So, what's the plan?

We'll go see my mom.

Seizures aren't
contagious. So what?

The sisters protected
me. They protected Polly.

They'll watch over you now.

They make
drugs inside the prison,

which all the kids take
when they play g&g.

All of it it's connected, Archie.

What kind of business does
hiram lodge have with sister woodhouse,

and how are the blossoms
connected to it?

You've been
a very bad girl, Betty.

You haven't been
taking your candy.

Wonderful, wonderful work.

My king, my savior.

It was a day like any other.

Everything seemed normal.

Students went to class,

the vixens prepared for
the annual prep rally.

Couples had their stolen
moments in quiet classrooms.

You wanna take another hit?

Less talking,

more kissing.

But in Riverdale, there's
no such thing as normal,

as Cheryl blossom was
about to discover.

Help! Help us. Somebody help!

Your group is stricken,

infected with poison,

compromised.

And now, you're all alone.

You hear the heavy,
scraping footsteps

of some horrific monstrosity.

Girls. Time for your candy.

Well, this is
definitely the place.

You guys lost?

Or you looking to pick up
some merch?

We're looking for Gladys Jones.

I'm family.

We need a place to stay.

- Jughead?
- Jellybean?

Thought I smelled
something rotten.

You heard him.

Open the damn gate.

You, mon petit amour,
are officially on bedrest.

I've brewed you a pot
of vintage narcissus tea,

and our family physician,
Dr. Caligari, is on call

should you feel
another spell coming along.

I'm feeling much better, Cheryl.

But what if what happened
to me is contagious?

0h, t.T.,

ship's fever
couldn't keep me away.

My four-poster bed
is your four-poster bed.

You can stay here
for as long as you like.

Even... permanently?

You mean, like,
move in with you?

I'm cuckoo bananas
for you, obvi.

Won't you move in?

As long as I'm the big spoon.

No, you said
that if I went along with this,

no one would get hurt,
especially Veronica.

You looked into my eyes
and promised.

I believed you, hiram.

- It's under control.
- No, I supported you,

and you swore to me
that this wouldn't happen.

It was a miscalculation.

Now, out of strife
comes opportunity,

and now the timing is perfect.

What is going on?

Why am I back here?

Veronica,

thank god you are awake.

We brought you home as soon
as weatherbee called us.

You had a seizure, mija.

It's all the stress
you've been under.

Getting dropped by Archie,
running two businesses.

Which is why we've decided
to send you to New York.

You'll finally get some rest,

and we'll get you in
with the best doctors.

Uh, I'm not leaving town.

Sheriff minetta's body
turns up gangland style,

without his hands or head,

and you wanna ship me off
to New York? Why?

No answer? Fascinating.

My parents
are up to something, Reggie.

I mean, they're always
up to something,

but they tried
to banish me to New York,

which is a new one for them.

It's like they don't want me
around for whatever's coming next.

Has everyone lost their minds?

Is jingle-jangle
suddenly a thing again?

That was so last year.

I'm not sure it's the jangle.

Your dad's pulling it
off the market

and replacing it
with some new candy.

Fizzle rocks.

Dealt by the ghoulies?

No. A new gang.

The gargoyles.

With ties, no doubt,
to this godforsaken

g&g everyone's playing.

And what, pray tell, is my father's
skin in that particular game, I wonder.

Reggie, I need you to do
some sussing for me

and find out what you can
about these fizzle rocks.

Last year, I helped my
parents spin their criminal web

and good people
like Archie got hurt.

This year, I'm going to be
a fly in their ointment.

Whatever they're up to,
I will stop them.

Jughead?

Hey, mom.

0h, jug.

0h!

You feel like a...
Like a bag of tire irons.

Are you eating?

Ugh, you're not
a vegetarian now, are you?

You wound me, mother.

0h...

I recognize that rooster top.

Archie Andrews?

0h!

Gosh, you sure grew up.

Oh! So...

You two finally
got together, huh?

I always knew there was
something going on between you.

Uh, no, we're not
together-together.

- We're just on the road together.
- Yeah.

- Like a bromance.
- Sure.

I know you didn't come
to Toledo for the weather.

What's going on?

Why didn't you call me,
tell me you were coming?

Last time I called,
you told me I couldn't come.

Well...

That was a different time.

Hey, I got my ged now.

Hmm? I started
this whole place up.

I am a legit businesswoman now.

Hey, Gladys, tailpipe just came in
with these. Where do you want 'em?

Yeah, not right now, lugnut.

0h, hey, hold up.
Get the crew together, huh?

Tell 'em my son's come home.

And his best pal, too.

Tonight, we are going to feast.

Whoa, yeah!

Betty, you look terrible.

Thank you, mom.

Did you come here
just to tell me that?

I thought you were
staying at the farm.

I am, but the school board
reached out.

They're having an emergency
meeting, and I want to be there.

Meeting about what?

Apparently, there was
a mass seizure at school.

Like the same one that you had.

Whatever caused yours
spread to the vixens.

All of them? Including Veronica?

She's one of the fallen, yes.

Oh, my god.

I'm just glad that
you were here, honey.

Safe with the sisters.

We have
a very special relationship.

He tells me secrets
and gives me personal quests.

And I know people are scared
of him because he's all-powerful,

but he's honestly super-funny.

Who's super-funny?

0h, hey, Ethel.

I was just
telling everyone about

how the gargoyle king and I
have gotten really close.

Very funny, Betty.

It's true. After I met him,

I couldn't get him
out of my head, you know?

He's amazing.

Yesterday, he said...

Never mind.

He said what?

Yesterday, he said...

I was his new favorite.

That's... that's not possible.

You're not
worthy enough for him.

You're making all this up
to make fun of me, aren't you?

Of course not, Ethel.

But if you don't believe me,

you should go ask him yourself.

Or you and I can go talk to
the gargoyle king together.

You do have the keys
to his chamber, don't you?

Ethel, are you scared?

What are you doing?
Open the door!

I can't, Ethel,

and I'm sorry, but I need
to fast-track my plans,

and you're my best shot
at converting someone.

You're going to make him
angry. You're disrespecting...

The gargoyle king
isn't real, Ethel.

He's a hallucination.

The candy that the sisters
have been giving us?

It's a drug.
It's making you see things.

Stop it! Stop lying!

Once the drug wears off in
a few hours, you'll see, okay?

You'll see the truth.

Ethel, I'm back.

Are you okay?

I don't understand.

It's just a statue.

But I saw him.

Because we were high
on fizzle rocks.

The sisters feed us drugs

that make us susceptible
to visions that they suggest.

They let us play the game,
and then they use

our delusions of
the gargoyle king

to scare us into submission.

- That can't be.
- It is.

The sisters are running some
kind of scam with hiram lodge.

I think he's paying them to
test his drugs on the patients.

But I've seen him, in real life.

In my hospital room.

The gargoyle king, he...

- He's out there.
- I know.

I saw the gargoyle king
in town, too,

or someone dressed up as him.

At any rate, it doesn't
change the fact that in here,

he's just a hunk of cement.

I can't believe it.

I need your help, Ethel.

Sister woodhouse must know
more about g&g than she's letting on.

This game is literally
killing people.

Think about dilton and Ben.

If we know more, then we can stop
those things from happening again.

We just need
sister woodhouse to fess up

before we can escape
and shut this place down.

How are we going to escape?

First things first.

Sister woodhouse.

Attention,
students. We are hereby

closing the student lounge.
Please exit immediately...

First, they cancel sports
and extracurriculars,

now they're shutting down
the lounge? What is going on?

As student body president, please tell me
you've got some insider information to share.

Though my powers as Dauphine
of Riverdale high aren't absolute yet,

I am cc'd on
all school board emails.

And they're having
a meeting tonight.

I think to discuss
shutting down the school.

And Veronica, your parents
are leading the charge.

Of course they are.

That is exactly what my
dad did with southside high,

and he definitely had
ulterior motives then.

Oh, my god.

And now Riverdale high
is officially a hot zone?

- That's one of the infected.
- Go, Veronica, run.

Drugs, gargoyles,

mystery men in Hazmat suits,

and secret
school board meetings?

How does it all tie together?

Not sure,
but I got some suss for you.

According to my sources,

the fizzle rocks distributors,
aka the gargoyles,

are giving their product
out to people for free.

I've seen enough episodes
of narcos to know this scheme.

Hook 'em with the first taste,

then they're customers for life.

And daddy's always
playing the long game.

For sure, and here's the kicker.

Fizzle rocks are coming
from the southside,

right out of the prison
your dad's been building.

That must be where
he moved his candy factory to

after Cheryl, Toni, and I

- busted his lab at the whyte wyrm.
- Hmm.

And speaking of Cheryl...

Cheryl? What time is that
school board meeting and where?

No child should step foot
through these doors

until we have figured out what is going
on in this toxic petri dish of contagion.

We're taking as many precautions
as we can, Mrs. Blossom.

Well, what we should be doing
is tracking down patient zero

and running every test
in western medicine on them.

Okay, tonight's discussion is
regarding the fate of Riverdale high.

Can we please stay on topic?

To Mrs. Blossom's point,

my wife and I are in full
agreement. Most parents are.

I mean, five more kids experienced
seizures just this afternoon.

Isn't that right, Waldo?

Which is why tonight, as mayor,

I am signing an executive order

shutting down Riverdale high,

at least until it's deemed safe.

Stop it right there!

- The CDC hasn't set foot in Riverdale high.
- Fact.

And now my parents are
bullying you all into closing it.

Sounds exactly like what
you did with southside high,

which you're now
using as a drug factory.

Wait a minute. I thought
southside high property

was being developed
into a prison.

That's just his cover,
Mrs. Cooper.

Is that your plan here,
too, daddy?

Trump up a way to get another
huge parcel of land on the cheap,

then expand your
ever-growing drug empire,

which now consists almost
exclusively of fizzle rocks?

Veronica, what are you
even talking about?

That's okay, mi amor.

There's a reason
for this meeting, right?

To air out concerns.

We called the CDC.

They wouldn't send anyone to
investigate such a low priority crisis.

They think
it's all psychological.

So, we took some initiative.

The men you saw in Hazmat gear,

they were hired from a private
firm to run exhaustive tests.

And southside high
is becoming a prison,

not a drug factory.

If you'd like the names of
the guards we've recently hired,

I'd happily provide a list.

Have I left anything out?

Yes, you have.

The part about how
you're producing fizzle rocks

and giving it away for free

to get every teenager
in Riverdale hooked.

And I suppose I'm also
the gargoyle king,

as jughead Jones accused
me of being?

Oh, poor deluded girl.

I hear tell that these
seizures cause hallucinations,

and isn't this child
one of the afflicted?

On that note,
where are the cheerleaders?

I speak for
the disappeared vixens.

What of them?

Where were they taken?
And by whom?

Those girls went to
Riverdale general,

where I'm sure they're receiving
the best medical care possible.

And being dissected
like fetal pigs, no doubt!

You messed with my squad,
which means you messed with me.

Now I demand real answers!

What is it, you viper?

Hiram lodge, huh?

That good-looking short stack
was always trouble.

But why go after Archie?

Archie was the only one that
stood up to him, defied him.

Not to mention, I also date...

Dated his daughter.

Oh.

"Dated"?
As in, no longer dating?

- As in, single?
- Relax, jellybean.

It's jb now, kid kerouac.

Archie.

Have you spoken to your dad
through any of this?

I wish. I wish I could see him,

tell him how I'm doing.

But it's too risky. He'd
drag me home by the collar.

Riverdale's not where
I need to be.

Pig's ready!

All right. You heard the guy.

Archie, go get yourself
a hot meal.

Cheek's the best part.

All right, so...

Tell me about this game thing.

This thing that you and
Archie are mixed up in.

Gryphons and gargoyles?

How involved with this are you?

Well, it's more than
just a game.

It's got larger implications
for all of Riverdale.

I'm just trying to crack it.
Get underneath it.

Figure out
who's behind all this.

Well, hiram, it sounds like.

Is he the one who gave you
that nasty scar on your arm?

- You saw that, huh?
- Yeah, it's bad.

No, that was, uh...

A gift from a former serpent
under hiram's employ.

- Penny peabody.
- Penny?

That wench?

She always had a beef
about your father and I.

And then she does this?
She cuts up my son?

You know, I never wanted this
for you, kid.

I mean, you're serpent king.

I never wanted you
in the damn gang.

Don't act all high and mighty.

I saw that kid
with the stereos earlier.

You claimed to have left Riverdale
to get away from serpent life,

and here you are, chopping
cars and lifting their parts,

- god knows what else.
- Hey.

So what? So if we Jack a
couple stereos here and there

and we steal some hubcaps?

I am feeding and taking care
of all these kids

who have nowhere else to go.

What am I supposed to do?
Just leave them high and dry?

It's what you did to me,
isn't it?

Come on, let's get
something to eat

before there's nothing left.

Surprised to see me, red?

There's a bounty on your hip,

and you left more
breadcrumbs coming here

than a chubby kid
in a fairytale.

Red, keep quiet,

I'll give you the luxury
of an open casket.

Not if I put you in one first.

Drop the butter knife, bitch.

Careful, kid, you might
poke your eye out.

You know, penny, I'm not
shocked that a bottom-feeder like you

is working with hiram lodge.

I mean, you always had
unfixed allegiances.

That's rich,
coming from Gladys Jones.

Yeah, well...

I am surprised that you're not
ratting him out right now.

He must have something
real good on you, penny-slot.

I'm no snitch.

But I will say this.

Hiram won't stop.

Not till he gets what he wants.

And right now, that's red.

And there's nothing that you, or
your little lord of the flies crew,

or jughead here can do.

Hiram won't stop.

Speaking of my jug,

I saw the work that
you did on him.

You carved him up
like a Sunday roast.

That was business
between me and him.

Yeah, well, I'm his mama.

So it's between me and you now.

All right, everyone, go inside.

Me and penny here, we're
gonna have us a little girl talk.

Ask her about g&g,

how hiram fits into it all.

Roger that.

I wanted to commend you.

The gusto you showed
in that meeting,

that was audacious.

- Congratulations.
- On what?

On being right.

About all of it.
Well, at least most of it.

I mean, it's so much bigger
than you're giving me credit for.

This plan, what's coming next,

it's practically biblical.

Years in the making.

What is it?

What do you really want, daddy?

What every king wants.

A kingdom.

And a legacy.

You know,
once things are in place,

I'm hoping you'll join me.

Take a seat at my right hand

and help me oversee
the new order.

You're deluded, daddy.

Also, you're not untouchable.

Maybe in Riverdale you are,

because your wife's mayor
and there's no sheriff,

but there's a whole
wide world out there.

They'll see what you're doing.

Yeah, I'm not
too concerned about that.

You know, it's been a while
since I've seen you in pearls.

Maybe you'll start
wearing them again.

Hey.

- What happened with penny?
- Just...

Give me a second, jug, okay?

Let me think.
I just need to think.

- She talk about the game?
- Jug, come on.

We know she was
tracking Archie for hiram.

Was it a quest from her master?

Is hiram more than the man in
black? Is he the gargoyle king?

You are so caught up
in this damn game,

you can't see
three feet in front of you.

The big prize
isn't Archie's head.

It is Riverdale.

Jug, if you had
your wits about you,

you would realize that
hiram chased you out of town

just to get you
off of the chess board.

So you were as far away from
Riverdale when he made his big play.

So it's not about
ascending to the kingdom.

It's about claiming the kingdom.

And if hiram is
the gargoyle king,

then he's responsible for
re-introducing g&g to Riverdale

and the deaths of those kids.

Mrs. J, what do we do?

I'm still trying
to figure that out, sweetie.

Are we okay here?

I mean, is Archie even safe?

Yeah, of course he is.

- Heho?
- V?

It's Betty. It's so good
to hear your voice.

- Girl, where are you?
- It's a long story,

- but I'm at the sisters of quiet mercy.
- What?

We all thought
you were at the farm.

Veronica, there's not much time.

You need to listen to me
very carefully.

Your text said you had news.

Betty called. She's at
the sisters of quiet mercy.

That place is the hellmouth of Riverdale.
We have to break her out of there.

Betty said
she's working on that,

but you and I have
another mission.

According to b,

my father's testing fizzle rocks

on the patients
at the sisters of quiet mercy.

Moreover, she saw
your uncle claudius with him,

using blossom maple trucks
to deliver the drugs.

Shades of the legion of doom.

They're planning
something big, Cheryl.

My father likened it
to the apocalypse.

For all we know,

my father may somehow
be responsible for the seizures,

but he wouldn't be
any more specific than that.

So I was thinking maybe
we could ask your mom,

since she's in cahoots with him?

With pleasure, Veronica.

My vixens have fallen.
My t.T. Has fallen.

If my gorgon-like mother has any
knowledge of how or why that's happening,

we'll get it out of her.

Hi, sister. Sorry.

I was wondering
if I could get some more...

Don't scream, sister.

Oh, sorry.

You're coming with me.

It's time we pay
a little visit to your king.

It's just me. Get up.

I didn't want to talk in front
of Archie and the others.

As it turns out,

peabody had a lot to say.

The bounty on your pal Archie,
it's not just on him.

It's on anyone who is with him
or is helping him.

Which means there is a target
on your back now, too, jughead.

It's the same if he goes
back to Riverdale.

Archie's dad, Archie's friends,

everyone is at risk,

which is why
you gotta cut him loose.

I'm not just going to
ditch Archie, mom.

He's my best friend.

Your mom's right, jug.

You got me this far.

That's more than anyone else
would've done.

You can go home.

What are you talking about?

You can't go out there alone.

Jug, hiram almost killed us
back at that farm.

Penny tracked us here
to your mom's.

I've put her in danger.

I've put jellybean in danger.
I can't keep doing that.

Wherever I go next,
it's got to be alone.

- Archie.
- Jug.

All right.

So, it's decided.

Arch, we'll get you
a ride to the border.

I know a guy up there
who can help.

Jughead, you can stay here
as long as you want.

No, I think I need to go home.

Hiram lodge needs
to get taken down.

It's only gonna happen
from the inside.

You sinful girls.

I will strap you to your beds and
electroshock the sin out of you.

Sister, monsters don't
scare me, and neither do you.

I've seen real darkness.
I've stared it right in the face.

That's why
you couldn't break me.

I know the scam
that you're running.

I saw you with hiram lodge.

You're testing his drugs
out on patients.

Why?

Mr. Lodge is a generous donor.

- Oh?
- A believer in our mission.

And by "mission", you mean

using the game and the
gargoyle king to scare girls?

To torture children?

The children who come
through our doors are broken.

It's our sacred mission
to fix them,

using whatever tools necessary.

Does that mean that the sisters
created gryphons and gargoyles

as a tool?

Misbehaving children have been
brought down to this room

since the asylum opened.

That statue scared them
into submission.

Some of them,
the more disturbed ones,

created a fantasy realm,

a game

to cope with the fear
of the one they named...

The gargoyle king.

We embraced it
as a therapeutic tool.

And it worked

because it embeds itself
in the minds of the players.

It makes them complacent.
Focuses them.

If that's true, then how did
the game get out into the world?

Did you give it to hiram?

It was never meant
to leave these walls.

It's too powerful.

A game born of madness.

A madness you helped nurture.

And now people like
Ben and dilton are dead.

You're going to pay for
everything that you've done, sister.

And you're going
to tell the authorities

what you've told us
about the game.

And about hiram's donations.

I only answer
to one authority, Betty.

Come on, Ethel.
We have her keys.

We're leaving.

We're taking your children
with us, sister.

They won't want to leave.

We'll see about that.

Help!

Help!

I'm in the basement!

Help!

Let's do this again.

What does my father
have planned for Riverdale?

Speak!
Or it gets the syrup again.

Why do you want to know
your father's plans?

He's finally going to turn this
backwater into something worthwhile.

A place where we can all pursue

- our various enterprises unmolested.
- What does that mean?

She's talking about
drug dealing and prostitution.

Aren't you, you ghoulunatic?

We need specifics.

How exactly is my father
planning on turning Riverdale

into vice city?

Well, he's in bed
with the mayor, isn't he?

And as for
law enforcement, well,

the last time I checked,

Riverdale didn't have
much of a sheriff.

Details. Or so help me god,

I will drown you
in this cheap crap.

And open the garden doors
to let the ants in.

All right, I'll tell you.

Wait. What do you mean,
you don't want to escape?

We feel safe here.

We play g&g.

The sisters give us candy,
keep us warm and clean.

Why would we wanna leave?

Sister woodhouse was right.

They're all brainwashed,
just like I was.

Well, we can't just
leave them behind.

Not to mention all those kids in the
gay conversion wing where Cheryl was.

There has to be
something we can do.

Wait, the game.

The game is how they cope
with terror, right?

So, let's convince them to
escape by turning it into a quest.

The gargoyle king inspires fear,

so let's give them hope.

Let's give them the opposite
of the gargoyle king, which is...

The gryphon queen.

All right.

Now, I packed you guys
some lunches for the road.

Hey, jug, you mind getting
that? It's probably Archie's ride.

Dad.

I've missed you so much, dad.

Me too, son.

So you finally made it, huh?

Jughead's getting his bag.
He'll be out in a minute.

Hey, jellybelly.

You've just gotten so big.

Can I get a hug?

Can I get a dad?

Hey, jb.

Come on now.

Let her be. I deserve that.

She misses you.

She'd just rather fight
than admit it.

Yeah, like mother,
like daughter.

Dad.

I see mom called you.

Thought you might be
missing this.

I heard penny was here
causing trouble.

No problem at all.

I don't think we have to worry
much about penny anymore.

Come here, kid.

I'm gonna miss you.

Go... go warm up the bikes,
will you, jug?

Thank you, Gladys, for the call.

I'll make sure
he gets home safe.

Get out of here.

Kevin, cadets!

This meal's on the house.

But you brutes
are helping us out.

We need backup
right the he” now.

What's going on?

On your feet, soldier boys!

We're going to war.

Paladins and hellcasters,

healers and deadeyes,

your game master has
a new adventure for you.

Your goal is to escape

from the gargoyle king's
fortress.

But we can't. If he catches
us, we'll be punished.

Yes. Severely.

But there is hope.

A queen to lead you
into the light.

Hark, there she be!

Follow me, your gryphon queen,

away from this fortress, and
back to the kingdom of eldervair!

But what about the king?

The king is dead.

You're all free.

We can't wake
the king's demon soldiers.

I have the enchanted keys.

Meet me at the doors to freedom.

Here you go.

It's the last stop
before the border.

You know, I was thinking.
I could go with you.

We could do this together.

Find a cabin in the woods?

Yeah. Teach you carpentry,
like my old man did me.

Imagine that.

Living off the land,
father and son.

Hunting, fishing.

It would be great.

Yeah, it would be.

But, uh, you know
we can't do that.

Right, dad?

I can't change your mind,

get you to come back home?

But you can
give me your blessing.

I was your age
when my father passed away.

- I never got to say goodbye...
- This isn't goodbye, dad.

You're damn right it's not.

See you soon?

Yeah, you will.

Oh, one more thing.

Vegas.

- Mom, stop!
- You heard the woman! Halt!

Veronica, what is this?

Consider it a coup d'moi.

We know your endgame,

and you are hereby relieved
of your mayoral duties.

Those plans
you and your husband had

with my dollymop mother

are now canceled.

Now, step away from the phone

before you make the biggest
mistake of your life.

Veronica...

You can't just walk in here
and depose me.

I'm an elected official, and...

Besides, you're too late.

The order went out
ten minutes ago.

I was about
to call and tell you.

It's starting.

Betty, what are we going to do
with all these kids?

They have nowhere to go.

We'll help them, Ethel,
all of them.

- Mom?
- Betty?

Why are you wearing that
outfit? What's going on?

- What are you doing here?
- Hell is breaking loose.

I came to get you
out of the sisters'.

Well, you're just in time,
but it's not just gonna be me.

And just like that,
in a few frantic moments,

the town we'd known
all our lives

was once again changed,

but this time, irrevocably.

It was time for us to brace
for a terrible impact.

And while Archie Andrews headed
away from the doomed town of Riverdale,

we raced towards it.

For that night was
the fruition of a game

that had been
planned for and played

across the years.

The hell is this?

Town's under quarantine.
Governor's orders.

No one in or out.
Turn around and go.

No. No, we live here.

Not anymore. Turn around, now!

Well, hiram,
you got what you wanted.

The town's quarantined.

I'll do what I can to keep
the outside world at bay.

Riverdale thanks you,
governor dooley.

You did the right thing.

Ipray that's true.

And may god have mercy
on our souls.

Not god, governor...

The king.

Greg, move your head.
