[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.

Ever.

[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 I join you guys?

- Actually, 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?

I just... 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's 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.

- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.Addic7ed.com --

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.

Really? 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.s lossom

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]

♪ Can you hear me? ♪

[GUITAR STRUMMING]

♪ Am I drowned out In the crowd ♪

♪ Are you... ♪

- [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.

Honestly?

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.

So I challenge the Northside,

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.

Why is Veronica triggering
you all of a sudden?

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.

♪ Nightshades on a warning ♪

♪ Give me strength Or
give me your light ♪

♪ Give me anything Even sympathy ♪

♪ There's a chance... ♪

- 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, I don't.

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.

I thought you were apologizing.

I am.

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 some 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.

[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,

was stolen from them.

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]
- Alliances 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's civil war

would go from a possibility
to an inevitability.
