Maybe everyone in Riverdale should just stop sinning.
You would think that all of the drama with the Black Hood would mean everyone in town would stop sinning.
However, that does not appear to be the case and Riverdale Season 2 Episode 12 concluded with two shocking murders.
When the episode got underway, Veronica was preparing for being introduced to the family formally, and Hiram invited Archie to a poker game at Pop’s.
Veronica grew concerned that Archie was getting too close to the family business and tried to warn her boyfriend off of her father.
But Archie was too busy trying to keep the FBI at bay in order to care about all of it. The officer wanted Archie to wear a wire to the big event, but the teenager shut him down.
At the poker game, one of the men tried to make fun of the food, and Archie heard him outside conferring with another gangster about taking Hiram out of the equation right after Veronica’s communion.
Archie managed to tell Hiram in the nick of time, and Hiram put a plan in motion to have him murdered in his hotel room. It worked, but were the Lodges really safe?
The mayor gave the order to have the trailer park struck down that the serpents were living in. Tall Boy tried to blame Jughead and his friends because they were the ones who made the silent protest.
Penny Peabody returned with a vengeance and said she would help out if Jughead was removed from the team and if she got to remove his serpent tattoo.
This put Jughead in a difficult situation: Did he find out who the real villain was that stole the head off the Pickens statue, or did he just allow it to happen?
Thankfully, he and Betty put up flyers for information and someone from a junkyard contacted them. The man confirmed Tall Boy was the one who stole the head.
Jughead confronted him, along with the other serpents who voted to oust him from the group.
Meanwhile, Betty appeared on webcam in an attempt to find the darkness inside of her. She was then shocked to find a man leaving the home and Chic barely dressed.
He told Betty he had a new job at Bijou and was very rude to Betty in the process when she quizzed what was going on.
In the end, a figure appeared at the Cooper residence looking for Chic and the man was murdered a few moments later. Betty returned home to find Alice cleaning up a dead body.
With all of the sinning going on, the Black Hood is definitely going to be making a return trip!
