And the Black Hood is back.
Riverdale Season 2 Episode 19 picked up in the aftermath of Midge’s shocking murder. All of the key characters attended the funeral.
But Cheryl and the River Vixens joined forces for a somber performance at the event. They sang a song as everyone else started crying.
At the end of the ceremony, Sheriff Keller attempted to speak to Midge’s mother, but he was met with a slap across the face.
This prompted Cheryl to say the following: Hand over your effing badge or else!
Well, she never said it quite like that, but you get the picture. Cheryl did not want him in power because she thought he was not doing his job.
Hermione Lodge subsequently turned to Cheryl to write an op-ed about the sheriff because it would help her run for mayor because of his association with Sierra.
After Cheryl’s piece went viral, Keller was forced to turn in his badge because it proved the town had little confidence in him.
The only way he would ever get his job back was if Fred Andrews won, and this sent Kevin on a mission to campaign day and night.
Meanwhile, Betty and Jughead investigated Chic and learned that he was not the person he claimed to be.
Chic lived with Charles who was Betty’s brother, and the pair had a fight. But things took a turn, and Charles turned up dead after a violent altercation.
When Alice learned the truth, she rushed to FP to admit that the child was his and that he was dead. Oh yes, Betty and Jughead shared a sibling!
Betty and Alice confided in Hal who was shocked to the core, but admitted that they needed to do something about Chic.
While the parents bickered, Betty lead Chic with a gun to the woods. She was greeted by the Black Hood, who wasted no time in giving chase to the teenager.
So, Betty is still working with the Black Hood to rid the town of the biggest sinners. Alice was happy Chic was dealt with, but Betty realized Hal was out of the house.
Could he be the Black Hood?
While all of that insanity was playing out, Nick St. Clair was back in Riverdale and kidnapped Archie. He asked for $ 1 million for Archie’s safe return.
Hiram refused to pay it because he said that people would come for Veronica if they knew he was paying out for someone who was not blood.
Veronica agreed to have sex with Nick and live stream it to Archie. But Archie escaped from the captors and made his way to the hotel.
He found Nick out cold. Veronica drugged him and got $ 1 million for a ransom of her own from Nick’s parents.
This shocked Hiram and Hermione because it made them realize their daughter was all grown up and ready to take on the world.
