1. Previously on
Riverdale...
Copy !req
2. - Dude, what are you doing?
- What we've been doing all summer.
Copy !req
3. My dad is right over there.
Copy !req
4. Why?
Copy !req
5. He's the new RROTC instructor.
Copy !req
6. Welcome, cadets.
Copy !req
7. Excuse me, Major Mason.
I'm hoping it's not too late to join.
Copy !req
8. Can I get another
bartender in here, please?
Copy !req
9. Hey, Toby! Toby! I know him.
Copy !req
10. Listen up, Andrews,
Copy !req
11. you are in free fall,
and I am not having it.
Copy !req
12. You broke the code.
Turn in your jackets and go.
Copy !req
13. Are you serious, Jones?
Copy !req
14. I'm a Serpent by blood.
You can't take that away from me.
Copy !req
15. I think my mom may have
hired someone to shoot my father
Copy !req
16. so that she could make a profit from
the sale of his drug operation.
Copy !req
17. We're gonna destroy them before
my mom sells everything.
Copy !req
18. What the hell
did you do?
Copy !req
19. My buyer is coming, Veronica,
and they are gonna want blood.
Copy !req
20. Riverdale is like Bizarrotown,
Copy !req
21. where murder, mystery, and candy drugs
aren't the exception, they're the norm.
Copy !req
22. And you forget sometimes that people
are still just living their lives.
Copy !req
23. Doing things as ordinary
as getting married.
Copy !req
24. What do you mean,
you don't want a big wedding?
Copy !req
25. Well, we just finalized
our divorces, Kevin,
Copy !req
26. and this is a second marriage
for both of us.
Copy !req
27. And with everything that's
going on in Riverdale...
Copy !req
28. Yeah, we just wanna go down to
Town Hall and just keep it simple.
Copy !req
29. If I may?
Copy !req
30. We fully disagree.
Copy !req
31. But we're not the ones
getting married,
Copy !req
32. so we respect your decision.
Copy !req
33. As long as you let us
throw you
Copy !req
34. an after-party at La Bonne Nuit.
Copy !req
35. Ah...
Copy !req
36. If there's no wedding reception,
it means the Gargoyle King has won.
Copy !req
37. Okay, but a small one.
Copy !req
38. Fabulous.
I'll send out invites today.
Copy !req
39. - Marcus.
- Tom.
Copy !req
40. Cadet Keller, ladies,
how are you all doing?
Copy !req
41. We're good. Thank you.
Copy !req
42. Actually, we've got some news.
Copy !req
43. Tom and I are finally
tying the knot,
Copy !req
44. and these two are throwing us
an after-party downstairs.
Copy !req
45. You and Moose can be
our first invites.
Copy !req
46. How 'bout it?
Copy !req
47. I'll... check
my calendar, Sierra.
Copy !req
48. What's his deal?
Copy !req
49. Marcus and I used to be good friends.
We did RROTC together, but we...
Copy !req
50. just grew apart.
Copy !req
51. It's probably the jealousy.
Copy !req
52. Well...
Copy !req
53. Marcus always had
a crush on me, as you know,
Copy !req
54. but I only had eyes for you.
Copy !req
55. Oh, lucky me.
Copy !req
56. Mmm.
Copy !req
57. It feels so good to sleep
in a real bed, doesn't it?
Copy !req
58. Far away the rural horrors
of tent city.
Copy !req
59. Well, I don't miss the cold or the mud,
that's true. But...
Copy !req
60. I don't know,
I miss the game, babe.
Copy !req
61. Oh, my God. Our SAT scores.
Copy !req
62. I pray mine are good enough
for Highsmith College.
Copy !req
63. The women of my family have
gone there for generations.
Copy !req
64. I don't indent to break
Blossom tradition.
Copy !req
65. Much like Desert Hearts,
my score's not perfect,
Copy !req
66. but it's close.
Copy !req
67. How'd you fare, T.T.?
Copy !req
68. Flawless.
Copy !req
69. As I've always known
you to be.
Copy !req
70. Since you two vigilantes took it upon
yourselves to burn all the Fizzle Rocks
Copy !req
71. that I had already sold,
Copy !req
72. you are gonna come up with the
money to pay back what's owed.
Copy !req
73. How are we supposed
to do that?
Copy !req
74. I'd start with
the speakeasy's coffers.
Copy !req
75. We don't make nearly enough to pay off
whatever kingpin you're working with, Mom.
Copy !req
76. Well, then I suggest
you get creative, mija.
Copy !req
77. And quickly.
Copy !req
78. The buyer, who has a reputation
for being dangerously unhinged,
Copy !req
79. is on their way to Riverdale,
Copy !req
80. and they're looking to get paid back in
full for the drugs they are not getting.
Copy !req
81. Who is this buyer?
Copy !req
82. You don't need to know.
Copy !req
83. They're sending an intermediary.
Copy !req
84. How much money are we talking about,
Mrs. Lodge?
Copy !req
85. And suddenly,
I'm in an episode of Ozark.
Copy !req
86. No.
Copy !req
87. But you are in
the big leagues now,
Copy !req
88. and it is time
to sink or swim.
Copy !req
89. Furthermore,
I've successfully balanced my duties
Copy !req
90. as Captain of the River Vixens
Copy !req
91. and president of the student body
whilst maintaining a 4.2 GPA,
Copy !req
92. perfect attendance,
and achieving an almost perfect SAT score.
Copy !req
93. For these reasons, I believe I'm an
exemplary candidate for Highsmith College.
Copy !req
94. Not to mention,
I'm legacy.
Copy !req
95. You are, Ms. Blossom. However,
Copy !req
96. most recently, Highsmith College's Board
of Directors have decided it's time to
Copy !req
97. diversify our student body
with women from
Copy !req
98. outside the alumni pool.
Copy !req
99. This is a new initiative?
Copy !req
100. I'm afraid so,
Copy !req
101. but long overdue,
don't you agree?
Copy !req
102. Oh! Absolutely.
Copy !req
103. I'm just imagining which board member in
particular suddenly developed a conscience.
Copy !req
104. Hey, I need to
ask you something.
Copy !req
105. Hey.
Copy !req
106. - Will you be my date to my dad's wedding?
- Kevin...
Copy !req
107. I know, it's a public event,
Copy !req
108. and you haven't come out to your dad yet,
but maybe it's time?
Copy !req
109. I mean, how long have we
been together?
Copy !req
110. - Since summer started.
- So practically forever.
Copy !req
111. And I love the clandestine grope
as much as the next gay guy,
Copy !req
112. but we've never even spent
a proper night together.
Copy !req
113. You don't think I want to?
Copy !req
114. So do it,
just talk to your dad.
Copy !req
115. - Dad.
- Major Mason.
Copy !req
116. I told you
they were in here, sir.
Copy !req
117. Cadet Mason, Cadet Keller.
Copy !req
118. The meeting with the Naval Academy
recruitment officer is about to start, so,
Copy !req
119. on the double.
Copy !req
120. I'm sorry, Kev, I can't.
Copy !req
121. Hey, Sweet Pea.
Copy !req
122. I hope you don't mind me
dropping by like this.
Copy !req
123. I'm always happy
to see you, Josie.
Copy !req
124. Especially if this is...
Copy !req
125. A booty call?
Copy !req
126. It wouldn't be the first one we've
had since our summer fling ended.
Copy !req
127. Well, it's not.
Copy !req
128. Um, I don't know
if you've heard,
Copy !req
129. but my mom is getting married
to Kevin's dad,
Copy !req
130. and I wanted to know if you
would be my date to the wedding.
Copy !req
131. As your boyfriend?
Copy !req
132. Does it have to be
so official?
Copy !req
133. Look, Josie,
Copy !req
134. I like you.
Copy !req
135. And I would be with you,
all in with you, in a second, but...
Copy !req
136. but you sliding into my life
whenever you don't wanna be alone...
Copy !req
137. I'm not built that way.
Copy !req
138. Maybe that makes me needy,
but I just...
Copy !req
139. I gotta get off
this merry-go-round with you.
Copy !req
140. So this is the infamous
Maple Club.
Copy !req
141. And no surprise it's as cheap
and callow as your efforts
Copy !req
142. to sabotage my admission
to your alma mater.
Copy !req
143. I spoke to the headmistress
at Highsmith College.
Copy !req
144. She enlightened me about
a certain new policy
Copy !req
145. that seems designed specifically
to keep me from attending.
Copy !req
146. I can't think of anyone else
who would stoop so low, Mumsy.
Copy !req
147. Care to explain?
Copy !req
148. Cheryl.
Copy !req
149. The hallowed halls
of Highsmith
Copy !req
150. shall not be polluted
by someone of your
Copy !req
151. alignment.
Copy !req
152. You are an aberration.
Copy !req
153. And I'm so sure the alumni newsletter
would be thrilled to profile
Copy !req
154. a twice-widowed dominatrix
with a proclivity for poison.
Copy !req
155. With the hefty financial gifts I've
bestowed upon them over the years,
Copy !req
156. I doubt they would
bat an eye.
Copy !req
157. Now, accept it, Cheryl.
Copy !req
158. This is the price of salt.
Copy !req
159. Your presence shall not
besmirch Highsmith.
Copy !req
160. The charges against you
are very serious.
Copy !req
161. Oh, wow, what do you suggest?
Copy !req
162. I could request an injunction.
Copy !req
163. I think I'd like
to go straight to trial.
Copy !req
164. Where you going?
Copy !req
165. I am having a little snack,
before having my other snack.
Copy !req
166. What is it?
Copy !req
167. "Fair Sierriana,
Copy !req
168. Friar Thomas,
Copy !req
169. congratulations
on your upcoming nuptials.
Copy !req
170. If you wish to live
to see this blessed event,
Copy !req
171. you must reunite with your
Midnight Club to...
Copy !req
172. to complete Ascension Night
once and for all."
Copy !req
173. "Tell no one,
Copy !req
174. or your children
will pay the price.
Copy !req
175. Best wishes,
Copy !req
176. The Gargoyle King."
Copy !req
177. Well, someone looks like they
could use an epaulette to cry on.
Copy !req
178. I'm not trying to
carb-shame you, Kevin, but,
Copy !req
179. whatever's on your mind,
it's not worth it.
Copy !req
180. So, put down the Swizzler
Copy !req
181. and tell me your tale of woe.
Copy !req
182. I could use the distraction.
Copy !req
183. Well,
Copy !req
184. there's this guy,
and we've been having problems...
Copy !req
185. Moose, you mean?
Copy !req
186. Please, I have eyes.
Copy !req
187. I saw you lounging together
at my pool party,
Copy !req
188. looking like a community theater
production of The Talented Mr. Ripley.
Copy !req
189. The Koose ship's been trouble
from the gay get-go.
Copy !req
190. Maybe it's time you move on.
Copy !req
191. I can't go back to Fox Forest.
Copy !req
192. Oh, sullen,
tenderhearted Kevin.
Copy !req
193. I'm not talking about cruising,
Copy !req
194. I'm talking about Bumble.
Copy !req
195. Look.
Copy !req
196. I'm sure you can find a well-adjusted,
handsome, out and proud fella here.
Copy !req
197. That'd be nice.
Copy !req
198. But I like Moose a lot.
Copy !req
199. I just wish he'd be honest with his dad,
so we could date.
Copy !req
200. You know, openly.
Copy !req
201. - What's his hang-up?
- Major Mason's not
Copy !req
202. the biggest fan
of our persuasion.
Copy !req
203. It burns me that there are people
in this town that still believe
Copy !req
204. that being gay
is anything less
Copy !req
205. than rapturous.
Copy !req
206. Maybe Moose would come out
if he liked me more.
Copy !req
207. No. It's not
your fault, Kevin.
Copy !req
208. Your aesthetic may be
firmly rooted in the 1950s,
Copy !req
209. but you're a catch
in any decade.
Copy !req
210. As for the object
of your affection,
Copy !req
211. maybe he just needs
the subtlest of nudges?
Copy !req
212. A bulldozer wouldn't
be enough.
Copy !req
213. Attention, students,
it's time for the daily announcements.
Copy !req
214. As Riverdale High's first openly
lesbian Student Body President,
Copy !req
215. I'm announcing the launch
of a new club,
Copy !req
216. an LGBTQIA Alliance,
Copy !req
217. with the mission to find and support our
fellow queer and questioning students.
Copy !req
218. In that spirit,
Copy !req
219. this week's blind item
will be on theme.
Copy !req
220. A certain oh-so-hunky,
all-American RROTC cadet
Copy !req
221. is afraid to
come out of the closet.
Copy !req
222. Well, let's show this cadet that
Riverdale High is welcoming,
Copy !req
223. so he and his Broadway-loving
boyfriend can finally PDA
Copy !req
224. like the other sex-crazed
couples dwelling amongst us.
Copy !req
225. Also, for lunch today we're
having Shepherd's Pie. Thank you.
Copy !req
226. Did you put
Cheryl up to that?
Copy !req
227. What, her not-so-blind item?
Of course not.
Copy !req
228. I'm opposed to publicly outing people
unless they're conservative politicians.
Copy !req
229. Have people guessed it's you?
Copy !req
230. No.
Copy !req
231. I don't know. Maybe.
Copy !req
232. Moose,
Copy !req
233. putting aside what Cheryl did,
Copy !req
234. we've been together
for a while now,
Copy !req
235. and I can't keep playing Brokeback
Riverdale with someone who's in the closet.
Copy !req
236. Either you come out
to your dad or,
Copy !req
237. I'm sorry, but
we're breaking up.
Copy !req
238. Either way,
I'll respect your decision.
Copy !req
239. What the hell
were you thinking?
Copy !req
240. Just now? About the sweet,
sweet revenge I'm going to get on Mumsy.
Copy !req
241. Hopefully with a little help
from you and your trusty camera,
Copy !req
242. O shutterbug of my dreams.
Copy !req
243. - You just outed Moose.
- No, I didn't.
Copy !req
244. It was a blind item, Toni. For all anyone
knows, I wasn't ever referring to him.
Copy !req
245. Moose's father could have
heard that announcement.
Copy !req
246. Oh, my God,
is this our first fight?
Copy !req
247. Cheryl, get some perspective!
Copy !req
248. Did you know that my uncle hated
the fact that I dated girls?
Copy !req
249. That's why the Serpents
were so important to me.
Copy !req
250. They were like
my nonjudgmental family.
Copy !req
251. And now I don't have them.
Copy !req
252. Toni, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
253. - I didn't realize...
- Of course you didn't.
Copy !req
254. Because you're too busy
being Cheryl,
Copy !req
255. causing chaos regardless
of the consequences.
Copy !req
256. Look, babe, I get that
you're mad at your mom,
Copy !req
257. and you're pissed that you're not
going to some hoity-toity college
Copy !req
258. that I could never get into
or afford...
Copy !req
259. If it's about money...
- Cheryl, just stop and listen to me!
Copy !req
260. Highsmith College was your legacy.
Copy !req
261. The Serpents were mine.
Copy !req
262. Now they're not.
Copy !req
263. Toni, I'll...
Copy !req
264. I'll fix this.
Copy !req
265. - What part?
- All of it.
Copy !req
266. You are the most
important person in my life.
Copy !req
267. I'll do whatever it takes to
make all these things right.
Copy !req
268. But I may need your help.
Copy !req
269. Josie, hey.
Copy !req
270. - Archie, hey.
- Am I interrupting?
Copy !req
271. I was just practicing.
Copy !req
272. There's a recruiter
from Julliard
Copy !req
273. holding local auditions
and my slot's this afternoon.
Copy !req
274. Well, if you're nervous, don't be.
You're gonna kill it.
Copy !req
275. Ha! If could even get there.
Copy !req
276. It's at Seaside,
and I just assumed
Copy !req
277. that Sweet Pea would
give me a ride,
Copy !req
278. but I didn't even get a chance
to ask him.
Copy !req
279. Sweet Pea?
Copy !req
280. - Wait, are you guys...
- No.
Copy !req
281. I ended it,
so that I could focus on my music.
Copy !req
282. Which is what I always do.
Copy !req
283. Stay focused.
Copy !req
284. So much so that
I've pushed everyone away.
Copy !req
285. And I can't ask my mom
for a ride because
Copy !req
286. she doesn't even know
that I have this audition.
Copy !req
287. Because if she knew,
and I didn't do well at it,
Copy !req
288. she'd start asking me about my backup plans,
which I don't have.
Copy !req
289. Let me take you.
Copy !req
290. I got the jalopy.
Copy !req
291. Really?
Copy !req
292. Absolutely.
Copy !req
293. Just remember this moment, though,
when you're accepting your
Copy !req
294. Best New Artist Grammy, okay?
Copy !req
295. Okay.
Copy !req
296. What's up, Ronnie?
Copy !req
297. We're dead.
Copy !req
298. We're officially dead.
Copy !req
299. That, or we're about
to have our kneecaps broken,
Copy !req
300. courtesy of whoever
this mystery buyer is.
Copy !req
301. Does that really happen?
Copy !req
302. I've combined my liquid funds
from Pop's and La Bonne Nuit.
Copy !req
303. We're not even a quarter
of the way there.
Copy !req
304. Is robbing banks
still a thing?
Copy !req
305. Although the thought of being Bonnie
to your Clyde is intriguing...
Copy !req
306. banks have round-the-clock
security guards with guns.
Copy !req
307. Yeah, but if they're anything like
my dad's lame-ass security guards...
Copy !req
308. Holy crap. I'm a genius.
Copy !req
309. My dad keeps cash
in his safe at the dealership.
Copy !req
310. Enough to make up
the difference probably.
Copy !req
311. I'm not gonna let you steal
from your own family.
Copy !req
312. That dealership is my legacy,
so technically,
Copy !req
313. I'd be borrowing money
from my future self.
Copy !req
314. And everything is insured,
so my dad will get a sweet payout.
Copy !req
315. Which is more than he deserves for all
the shiners he's given me over the years.
Copy !req
316. This is lunacy.
Copy !req
317. But it might be
inspired lunacy.
Copy !req
318. How would we get it all done?
Copy !req
319. My dad's security guard
is only on duty at night,
Copy !req
320. after closing. So,
Copy !req
321. I'd hit the lot during the day,
probably lunchtime,
Copy !req
322. when my dad is usually at
Pop's with a customer,
Copy !req
323. trying to close a sale.
Copy !req
324. You could wear
a Gargoyle mask,
Copy !req
325. so as not to get recognized.
Copy !req
326. And I, of course,
would come with you,
Copy !req
327. as we're
in this mess together.
Copy !req
328. You can be my Baby Driver.
Copy !req
329. Just please
don't scratch my car.
Copy !req
330. Okay?
Copy !req
331. So we all received
letters then,
Copy !req
332. to finish Ascension Night?
Copy !req
333. This was taped to my trailer.
Copy !req
334. Mine came to the dealership.
Copy !req
335. I thought you caught
the Gargoyle King, FP.
Copy !req
336. Tall Boy was using the game
as a cover to deal drugs,
Copy !req
337. but he wasn't
the one running around
Copy !req
338. setting up chalices back
when we were in high school.
Copy !req
339. We're not really taking this
seriously, are we?
Copy !req
340. I think we have to assume that this is real,
if only for our kids' sake.
Copy !req
341. And then what?
Copy !req
342. I mean, we're just supposed to
leave them home alone all night
Copy !req
343. while we run around pretending
to be teenagers again?
Copy !req
344. May I remind you what happened
last Ascension Night?
Copy !req
345. Someone ended up dead.
Copy !req
346. We don't have any choice
in the matter.
Copy !req
347. We all know why this is happening again,
and now.
Copy !req
348. Two members of the original Midnight
Club are daring to get married,
Copy !req
349. to be happy,
Copy !req
350. and the Gargoyle King,
whoever or whatever he is,
Copy !req
351. wants to destroy that.
He is a vicious and petty god,
Copy !req
352. and if we don't finish
the game now,
Copy !req
353. the Gargoyle King is never
gonna leave us alone.
Copy !req
354. Yeah, and maybe if we do this,
we catch the son of a bitch.
Copy !req
355. There's only one problem.
Copy !req
356. The letter says
we all have to participate.
Copy !req
357. I'll talk to Hiram.
Copy !req
358. All right, well,
it's settled then.
Copy !req
359. We finish the game we started.
Copy !req
360. Name.
Copy !req
361. Josephine McCoy.
Copy !req
362. All right, then.
Copy !req
363. Whenever you're ready.
Copy !req
364. Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Copy !req
365. - Oh, my God, Reggie, were you shot?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
366. I got the money,
but turns out there was security after all.
Copy !req
367. - Well, are you okay...
- Drive! Drive!
Copy !req
368. Thanks for your help, Toni.
Copy !req
369. Just remember
your promise to me.
Copy !req
370. Don't worry, babe, I have a mega plan,
and this is only step one.
Copy !req
371. Operation Fifty Shades
of Blackmail is underway.
Copy !req
372. What in God's name are
you Jezebels doing here?
Copy !req
373. Whatever mad,
Sapphic caper you're on,
Copy !req
374. I won't have you jeopardize
my thriving business.
Copy !req
375. Step down from the
Highsmith College Board
Copy !req
376. and revoke your ban
on my admittance,
Copy !req
377. or we'll go public with these
photos of your sorry clientele.
Copy !req
378. I am far from
ashamed of my work, Cheryl.
Copy !req
379. Need I remind you
that blackmail is
Copy !req
380. far more illegal than anything
that goes on at the Maple Club,
Copy !req
381. all of which is consensual.
Copy !req
382. How will your clients feel once we
publish their names and photos?
Copy !req
383. Don't test us, Mumsy.
Copy !req
384. We know how to
dominate too.
Copy !req
385. Did it come through?
Copy !req
386. - Um...
- Come on, what does it say?
Copy !req
387. "Unfortunately, we are
Copy !req
388. unable to invite you
to callbacks this year."
Copy !req
389. I'm sorry, Josie.
Copy !req
390. I know I'm biased, Archie,
but I think I killed that audition.
Copy !req
391. I sang my heart out,
Copy !req
392. and it still wasn't enough.
Copy !req
393. Then they're crazy.
Copy !req
394. - They don't deserve you.
- I've given so much to this,
Copy !req
395. and all along
I've been saying,
Copy !req
396. "It's okay.
It'll be worth it."
Copy !req
397. I've built up so many walls to
focus on this one thing, and now...
Copy !req
398. I don't know
what I'm gonna do.
Copy !req
399. And I'm alone.
Copy !req
400. Hey...
Copy !req
401. - you're not alone.
- I am.
Copy !req
402. I can't even get a date
to my mom's wedding.
Copy !req
403. That speaks volumes.
Copy !req
404. I'll do it.
Copy !req
405. What? Be my date?
Copy !req
406. I've been alone
these last few months,
Copy !req
407. either literally
Copy !req
408. or feeling like I'm from Mars,
and it sucks.
Copy !req
409. Yeah.
Copy !req
410. So, maybe I can help you
feel a little less alone.
Copy !req
411. Okay.
Copy !req
412. I can't believe
I was shot.
Copy !req
413. You sure you don't
wanna go to a doctor, Reggie?
Copy !req
414. Nah, it's just a graze.
Copy !req
415. Besides, now I can say
I've been shot.
Copy !req
416. Except you can't,
since we want everyone to believe
Copy !req
417. that the Gargoyle gang robbed
your father's dealership.
Copy !req
418. Right. Right.
Copy !req
419. Okay.
Copy !req
420. Let's see how much money
we just comped.
Copy !req
421. And pray it's enough.
Copy !req
422. What? A dye pack?
Copy !req
423. Oh, hell. We're screwed.
Copy !req
424. I did it. I told my dad.
Copy !req
425. What? You did?
How'd it go?
Copy !req
426. He was quiet and weird
at first,
Copy !req
427. but then okay, I think.
Copy !req
428. We went to Pop's afterwards
and got chicken pot pie.
Copy !req
429. Which is a good sign, right?
Copy !req
430. I am so proud of you, Moose.
Copy !req
431. Does that mean you'll be
my date to the wedding?
Copy !req
432. Yeah. And more importantly,
Copy !req
433. I think we should do it.
Spend the night together.
Copy !req
434. Only question is where?
Copy !req
435. Don't worry. I know the perfect spot
where no one will interrupt us.
Copy !req
436. Well, in a fortuitous
turn of events, Ms. Blossom,
Copy !req
437. Highsmith College's policy
not to admit legacy candidates
Copy !req
438. has been reconsidered.
So, we may proceed with our interview.
Copy !req
439. Respectfully,
Headmistress Patricia,
Copy !req
440. I know you only perform a limited
number of these one-on-ones.
Copy !req
441. With my qualifications,
Copy !req
442. legacy status or not,
I'm obviously a shoo-in.
Copy !req
443. Therefore, I'd like to
cede my time to another
Copy !req
444. unquestionably
worthy candidate.
Copy !req
445. Ms. Antoinette Topaz,
Copy !req
446. future photojournalist
and Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
Copy !req
447. It's a pleasure to meet you,
Headmistress.
Copy !req
448. Knock 'em dead, babe.
Copy !req
449. And remember,
this is only step two.
Copy !req
450. Uh, yes, please. Have a seat.
Copy !req
451. - Do you have your portfolio with you?
- Yes, I do.
Copy !req
452. Whoever you are,
please be chill.
Copy !req
453. Oh, great. More teenagers.
Copy !req
454. Here's your money.
Or as much as we could get of it.
Copy !req
455. Veronica Lodge, I presume?
Copy !req
456. I can't believe your mom sent you
out here to sort out her mess.
Copy !req
457. Hey, I know she's cutthroat
but, man, that's cold as ice.
Copy !req
458. Sorry, are we supposed
to know you?
Copy !req
459. I'm Gladys Jones.
Copy !req
460. You might know my kid,
Copy !req
461. Jughead?
Copy !req
462. - What?
- Seriously?
Copy !req
463. You're Jughead's mom?
Copy !req
464. Mrs. Jones, if you could
give us a little more time,
Copy !req
465. I know we could get you
the rest of the money.
Copy !req
466. Just please don't break
our kneecaps.
Copy !req
467. I gotta say,
Copy !req
468. I do admire the fact that you two
came out here knowing you were short.
Copy !req
469. Shows you know
how to take responsibility.
Copy !req
470. Look at the two of you.
Copy !req
471. You kind of remind me a little
bit of me and FP back in the day.
Copy !req
472. So, I'll tell you what,
I'm gonna be sticking around for a while.
Copy !req
473. So, I will take your money,
but I'm gonna have to charge you a fee,
Copy !req
474. because I'm gonna need
to get it laundered.
Copy !req
475. - Every which way.
- Understood.
Copy !req
476. And then we'll figure out
a payment plan for the rest.
Copy !req
477. But, in exchange,
you're gonna lend me those sweet wheels.
Copy !req
478. Not Bella.
Copy !req
479. Please, Mrs. Jones,
Reggie loves that car.
Copy !req
480. Then I'll make sure
I take real good care of her.
Copy !req
481. Oh, wait, one more thing.
Just as a favor,
Copy !req
482. don't tell Jughead
about our business.
Copy !req
483. I mean, if you do,
I'm gonna have to tell
Copy !req
484. Hiram about his missus going
behind his back for a cut, and...
Copy !req
485. that'd be bad for all of us.
Copy !req
486. Greetings, Moose.
Copy !req
487. What the hell, Cheryl?
What do you what?
Copy !req
488. To apologize.
Copy !req
489. Outing you was wrong
Copy !req
490. for so many reasons.
Copy !req
491. It's a personal decision that I
shouldn't have taken from you.
Copy !req
492. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
493. Apology accepted.
Copy !req
494. And that's step three.
Bon appetit.
Copy !req
495. Cheryl?
Copy !req
496. I'm not saying what you did
was right,
Copy !req
497. but it kind of
turned out okay.
Copy !req
498. I'm out to my dad now.
Copy !req
499. And Kevin and I, we...
Copy !req
500. We're finally gonna do it.
Copy !req
501. Tonight,
in some secret bunker.
Copy !req
502. Well, well, well, Moose.
Copy !req
503. In that case, I'd bring a fresh
set of sheets, if I were you.
Copy !req
504. A lot of people have had sex
on that cot.
Copy !req
505. Feels like we never left.
Copy !req
506. 'Cause we never did.
Copy !req
507. All right, the Gargoyle King wants
us to finish Ascension Night,
Copy !req
508. so we better start by finding
the chalices,
Copy !req
509. and then we flip for our fates
and drink up. Game over.
Copy !req
510. You want us to drink poison?
Copy !req
511. Not quite. Penelope,
did you bring them?
Copy !req
512. The antidote to cyanide.
Copy !req
513. Drink it now, you'll be inoculated
for the next several hours.
Copy !req
514. Oh, come on.
Copy !req
515. All right, let's get these
chalices and get this over with.
Copy !req
516. Should we wait for the Lodges?
Copy !req
517. We're already here, Sierra.
Copy !req
518. Friends,
good to see you again.
Copy !req
519. Although I'm certain not all
of you feel the same way.
Copy !req
520. Well, I sure as hell don't.
Copy !req
521. But we're here on a mission,
so let's get after it.
Copy !req
522. I know. Candles, it's dumb.
Copy !req
523. Nah, I get it.
Copy !req
524. Girl's bathroom is clear.
Copy !req
525. That's where I found
the chalices before.
Copy !req
526. - Did you check the trophy case?
- Yeah, we did. Nothing.
Copy !req
527. We searched
the student lounge,
Copy !req
528. the closet where we found
Featherhead...
Copy !req
529. Second floor is clear.
Copy !req
530. - So is the cafeteria.
- And the library.
Copy !req
531. I don't understand.
The objective was simple.
Copy !req
532. Return to school,
find the chalices, finish the game.
Copy !req
533. What aren't we seeing?
Copy !req
534. Wait a minute,
where's Penelope?
Copy !req
535. Penelope, what is it?
Copy !req
536. The hell does it mean?
Copy !req
537. It's a prank,
and we've been played.
Copy !req
538. Or...
Copy !req
539. it's just another iteration
of the game.
Copy !req
540. And what the Gargoyle King
wanted all along,
Copy !req
541. to distract us
Copy !req
542. - and lure us away from...
- Our kids.
Copy !req
543. Hold on.
Copy !req
544. - Mom?
- Hey, Dad.
Copy !req
545. - Josie, where are you?
- I'm rehearsing with Archie.
Copy !req
546. - What's going on?
- Archie, lock the doors. Do not let anybody in the house.
Copy !req
547. It's locked, Dad.
What's wrong?
Copy !req
548. - Crap, it's my dad.
- My mom's calling me, too.
Copy !req
549. Do you think he knows about
the dealership?
Copy !req
550. - Mom?
- What's up, Dad?
Copy !req
551. - It's my dad.
- It's my mom.
Copy !req
552. - Hi, Mom.
- Hello?
Copy !req
553. - Jughead...
- Betty, where are you?
Copy !req
554. It's my hateful mother.
Copy !req
555. - Why are you calling, night hag?
- Cheryl, just do what I say.
Copy !req
556. Keep your bow close.
Copy !req
557. Josie is with Archie at Fred's.
Copy !req
558. - Veronica's with Reggie.
- Kevin's not picking up.
Copy !req
559. Cheryl, you don't know where
the Keller boy is, do you?
Copy !req
560. It's funny.
Copy !req
561. Part of me thought
this was never gonna happen.
Copy !req
562. I'm glad it did.
Copy !req
563. Betty, if that's you,
I reserved the bunker for tonight.
Copy !req
564. Betty!
Copy !req
565. What the hell is this?
Copy !req
566. - Who are you guys?
- What are doing?
Copy !req
567. Say something!
Copy !req
568. - Let go of me! Get your hands off me.
- Oh, my God. No!
Copy !req
569. Oh, my God, Moose, no!
Copy !req
570. Oh, God.
Copy !req
571. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
572. What do you want?
Copy !req
573. Please. Please, let us go.
Copy !req
574. They want us to flip
for our fate.
Copy !req
575. We're not doing that.
Copy !req
576. We're not playing
your sick game, okay?
Copy !req
577. If we don't, they'll kill us.
Copy !req
578. - I'll go first. I'll go first!
- No, Kev...
Copy !req
579. Is this what you want?
Will this make you happy?
Copy !req
580. Drop the weapons!
Copy !req
581. - Don't move! Don't move!
- Dad!
Copy !req
582. They're from the RROTC?
Copy !req
583. What? Why?
Copy !req
584. Dad?
Copy !req
585. Let's cut
to the bone, Mason.
Copy !req
586. Are you the Gargoyle King?
Copy !req
587. There was no poison
in those chalices.
Copy !req
588. I was just...
Copy !req
589. - scaring them.
- Right.
Copy !req
590. Scaring them straight?
Copy !req
591. You set out to abduct
and terrorize your own kid.
Copy !req
592. How'd you talk your cadets
into helping?
Copy !req
593. I made it a quest.
Copy !req
594. The Gargoyle King told them
their brothers needed help.
Copy !req
595. When you are weak, I am weak.
Copy !req
596. The RROTC was the same way
Copy !req
597. when Tom Keller and I
were in high school.
Copy !req
598. Back then, us cadets did
everything together,
Copy !req
599. and no one was closer
than me and my best friend,
Copy !req
600. Tommy Keller.
Copy !req
601. Until I tried to kiss him.
Copy !req
602. Marcus...
Copy !req
603. When my parents found out
about my inclinations,
Copy !req
604. they sent me to the Sisters,
to get help for my...
Copy !req
605. weakness of character.
Copy !req
606. That's where I first met
the King,
Copy !req
607. and where I started playing
Gryphons and Gargoyles,
Copy !req
608. which I later learned Tommy played
too with his Midnight Club.
Copy !req
609. The Sisters cured me
of impure thoughts.
Copy !req
610. I became strong,
as I have been all these years.
Copy !req
611. But then,
I heard Tom and Sierra were getting married
Copy !req
612. just as my own son Moose
Copy !req
613. told me he was seeing
Tom's boy,
Copy !req
614. who looks just like Tommy did.
Copy !req
615. When I...
Copy !req
616. You wanted...
Copy !req
617. to destroy
what you couldn't have.
Copy !req
618. The Sisters scared you
Copy !req
619. with the Gargoyle King,
so you thought you'd do the same...
Copy !req
620. to Moose and Kevin.
Copy !req
621. Man, the Sisters
did a number on you.
Copy !req
622. Tall Boy was using the costume
to sell drugs,
Copy !req
623. but Major Mason was using it to,
what, scare his kid?
Copy !req
624. We keep taking down Gargoyle Kings,
and they keep popping up again.
Copy !req
625. It's like playing whack-a-mole.
Copy !req
626. Yeah, but the true
Gargoyle King,
Copy !req
627. if there even is an ur-King,
is still at large.
Copy !req
628. Daddy?
Copy !req
629. - Jellybelly?
- What?
Copy !req
630. I'm sorry I was such a jerk
last time.
Copy !req
631. No, that's all right, sweetheart.
It's okay.
Copy !req
632. - Nice hat.
- You, too.
Copy !req
633. Hey, Jughead.
Copy !req
634. Hey, FP.
Copy !req
635. Hi.
Copy !req
636. What are you guys doing here?
Copy !req
637. I think what you meant to say is,
"Welcome home."
Copy !req
638. We're always happy
to see you, Gladys.
Copy !req
639. Just, uh, wish
you had called
Copy !req
640. and told us you were
coming to visit.
Copy !req
641. Visit? Nah, me and JB
are here to stay awhile.
Copy !req
642. In the end, our folks
got the wedding they wanted.
Copy !req
643. The four of us, at Town Hall.
Copy !req
644. They said it didn't feel right
having a party
Copy !req
645. after everything.
Copy !req
646. So, what now?
Copy !req
647. Well, after everything that Kevin
and Moose just went through,
Copy !req
648. not getting into Julliard
doesn't seem like
Copy !req
649. such a big deal.
Copy !req
650. Honestly, I...
Copy !req
651. I don't know.
Copy !req
652. Just take it day by day.
Copy !req
653. That's what I'm doing, too.
Copy !req
654. And the bummer is,
I was gonna suggest we sing together, Josie.
Copy !req
655. So, why can't we?
Copy !req
656. I'm glad it was too late
to cancel the cake.
Copy !req
657. It's beautiful.
Copy !req
658. You're beautiful.
Copy !req
659. I love you, Sierra.
Copy !req
660. I love you, Tommy.
Copy !req
661. I can't stay, Kev.
Copy !req
662. I just...
I came to tell you that.
Copy !req
663. I'm, uh,
I'm moving to Glendale to stay with my aunt.
Copy !req
664. Moose, your friends are here,
and I'm here,
Copy !req
665. - and you can live with any of us.
- Kevin...
Copy !req
666. I...
Copy !req
667. I can't live here.
Copy !req
668. At least not
for a little while.
Copy !req
669. I'm gonna miss you,
Marmaduke.
Copy !req
670. I'm gonna miss you,
Kevin Keller.
Copy !req
671. It's so messed up
what Major Mason did.
Copy !req
672. It's the Sisters' conversion therapy.
It twisted his soul.
Copy !req
673. Well, I'm glad we got you
out of that hellhole when we did.
Copy !req
674. I'll never forget the day
you saved me, T.T.
Copy !req
675. And, since you've done
so much for me,
Copy !req
676. I wanted to do
something for you.
Copy !req
677. Call it step four.
Copy !req
678. What's this?
Copy !req
679. A gang. If you want it.
Copy !req
680. You said you were missing having
the Serpents as a family,
Copy !req
681. so I found some other girls who were
looking for support or community,
Copy !req
682. or just good old-fashioned
fisticuffs,
Copy !req
683. and I thought maybe
we could start a new family.
Copy !req
684. Cheryl, this is
the most badass
Copy !req
685. and romantic thing
you've ever done.
Copy !req
686. Uh... Do we have a name yet?
Copy !req
687. How about...
Copy !req
688. the Pretty Poisons?
Copy !req
689. Pretty by day,
poison by night.
Copy !req
690. I love it.
Copy !req
691. You said
you have an update for me?
Copy !req
692. Yeah, but first...
Copy !req
693. You could have told us that the
secret buyer was Jughead's mom.
Copy !req
694. Wait, Gladys showed up?
Copy !req
695. I assumed that she would
have sent one of her deputies
Copy !req
696. scurrying up from Toledo.
Copy !req
697. Nope. And about Toledo, Mom,
Copy !req
698. I've got some news for you.
Copy !req
699. I don't think Gladys is
leaving anytime soon.
Copy !req
700. Everything's going
just how you said, Mom.
Copy !req
701. I've got Dad
wrapped around my pinky.
Copy !req
702. You're his weakness, baby.
Copy !req
703. Which means,
we got the whole town, JB.
Copy !req
704. Your old man's the sheriff,
Copy !req
705. the mayor owes us
serious cash. Hell,
Copy !req
706. even her daughter's
working for me now.
Copy !req
707. Oh, yeah,
Copy !req
708. we moved to the right place
at the right time.
Copy !req
709. I could feel it.
Copy !req
710. Archie...
Copy !req
711. Can I kiss you?
Copy !req
712. Greg, move your head.
Copy !req
