1. Previously on
Riverdale...
Copy !req
2. Hiram is gonna
follow you, or us
Copy !req
3. - wherever we go.
- Where is he?
Copy !req
4. I've heard of
this game before.
Copy !req
5. I thought this was
an urban legend.
Copy !req
6. We definitely
have to play it.
Copy !req
7. And we dubbed ourselves
"The Midnight Club."
Copy !req
8. Welcome to
The Ascension Party.
Copy !req
9. What about these drugs?
Copy !req
10. I don't know
how they're getting them.
Copy !req
11. A Serpent dealer
named Fangs Fogarty.
Copy !req
12. We want you to go undercover.
Join the Gargoyle Gang.
Copy !req
13. We need a man on the inside of
Hiram Lodge's drug operation
Copy !req
14. so that we can take him down.
Copy !req
15. Your dad is still out there.
Copy !req
16. As long as we're together,
he'll be hunting me down,
Copy !req
17. and everyone close to me
is his target.
Copy !req
18. If you loved me
you would come home.
Copy !req
19. If I ever want
to go back to Riverdale,
Copy !req
20. I have to destroy
that part of me. It's weak.
Copy !req
21. I've been attacked.
Copy !req
22. By a grizzly.
I'm in bad shape.
Copy !req
23. Come on.
Wake up, kid!
Copy !req
24. At 8:47
on a Wednesday morning,
Copy !req
25. Archie Andrews died.
Copy !req
26. At least,
the Archie we knew.
Copy !req
27. What returned to Riverdale
was something far different
Copy !req
28. from the red-headed
boy-next-door.
Copy !req
29. He was now a stranger,
Copy !req
30. with dark hair and scars...
Copy !req
31. both inside and out.
Copy !req
32. Oh, Vegas?
Copy !req
33. Archie...
Copy !req
34. Hey, Dad.
Copy !req
35. What? What's wrong, son?
Copy !req
36. It's a long story.
Copy !req
37. I don't remember
the rangers finding me.
Copy !req
38. And I woke up in the hospital
knowing that...
Copy !req
39. I couldn't keep running.
Copy !req
40. It was time to come home,
Copy !req
41. back to a normal life,
if that's even possible.
Copy !req
42. What about Hiram?
Copy !req
43. I survived
a bear attack, Dad.
Copy !req
44. I can't live my life in fear of when
he might come after me anymore.
Copy !req
45. To be honest,
I'm more worried about him gunning for you.
Copy !req
46. I survived
the Black Hood. Twice.
Copy !req
47. Hiram doesn't scare me.
Copy !req
48. He's not the only one
in this town with friends.
Copy !req
49. What about Veronica?
You reach out to her?
Copy !req
50. Veronica.
Copy !req
51. Archie?
Copy !req
52. What are you doing here?
Where have you been?
Copy !req
53. - Why haven't you called me?
- I wanted to.
Copy !req
54. Every day. But after
the last call...
Copy !req
55. What the hell happened
to your hair?
Copy !req
56. I dyed it, so I wouldn't
get recognized in case...
Copy !req
57. your father came
looking for me.
Copy !req
58. Right.
Copy !req
59. Veronica, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
60. If... if you don't wanna ever talk to me
again, I completely understand that.
Copy !req
61. Don't be crazy, Archie.
Copy !req
62. I'm just so happy
that you're home...
Copy !req
63. and safe.
Copy !req
64. Two chocolates, one vanilla,
Copy !req
65. and a root beer float
for Archie.
Copy !req
66. - Welcome home, son.
- Thanks, Pop.
Copy !req
67. Since when do you drink
root beer floats?
Copy !req
68. I guess I'm just not in the mood
for a strawberry milkshake.
Copy !req
69. New drink, new hair,
Copy !req
70. new haunted, vacant look in your eyes...
- Guys.
Copy !req
71. Archie just lived
through The Revenant.
Copy !req
72. Let him order what he wants.
Copy !req
73. So what'd I miss
while I was gone?
Copy !req
74. Well, thanks to the town quarantine
orchestrated by my father,
Copy !req
75. Pop's was shut down
and just reopened.
Copy !req
76. And he's also been attacking
shipments to the speakeasy.
Copy !req
77. But thankfully, I've hired the
Serpents as my full-time protection,
Copy !req
78. and that service
extends to you, Archie.
Copy !req
79. You don't have to worry about Hiram's
goons coming after you or your dad.
Copy !req
80. You won't be able to see 'em,
but I have guys watching you 24/7.
Copy !req
81. And I have a possible lead that could
diffuse this threat permanently.
Copy !req
82. What, Jug?
Copy !req
83. You can't tell anyone.
Copy !req
84. Fangs is deep undercover
in the Gargoyle Gang.
Copy !req
85. He hasn't met the King yet,
but he's still working on it,
Copy !req
86. and when we get access to him,
we're gonna take him down.
Copy !req
87. My bet is that it's Hiram
underneath the mask.
Copy !req
88. - Sorry, Veronica.
- Don't be.
Copy !req
89. I wouldn't put it past him.
Copy !req
90. Well, there goes
studying for the SATs.
Copy !req
91. What? SATs?
Copy !req
92. Yeah, they're this Saturday.
Copy !req
93. Don't worry, Arch. I will help you
study and get you caught up, okay?
Copy !req
94. We all will.
Copy !req
95. I'm sorry, Betty,
but your debit card was declined.
Copy !req
96. I got you, Bee.
Just put it on my tab, Pop.
Copy !req
97. This is
a new low, Mom.
Copy !req
98. I just got off the phone
with the Bank of Riverdale,
Copy !req
99. who told me
that all of my accounts,
Copy !req
100. including my college fund
Copy !req
101. have been completely
drained of assets.
Copy !req
102. Not drained,
just transferred.
Copy !req
103. Most of it was blood-money that
you inherited from The Blossoms...
Copy !req
104. Okay. Tell me where
that money went.
Copy !req
105. It was wired to the Farm
as a tax-deductible donation.
Copy !req
106. You gave my money
to the Farm?
Copy !req
107. To help support those children that
you liberated from the Sisters.
Copy !req
108. You just gave away
my tuition money!
Copy !req
109. Or, of course,
you could always study at the Farm for free.
Copy !req
110. Mom, I swear to God, you are not
cornering me into joining your cult.
Copy !req
111. Fred Andrews, FP Jones...
Copy !req
112. What can I do for you fellas?
Copy !req
113. I came to let you know that
my son is home. Permanently.
Copy !req
114. He is?
Copy !req
115. - Well, that's just great, Fred.
- Cut the crap, Hiram.
Copy !req
116. We all know you have it
out for his kid.
Copy !req
117. I'll stop you right there.
Copy !req
118. I've never wished
any harm to...
Copy !req
119. either of your sons.
Copy !req
120. Hiram, if you harm a hair on Archie's head,
I will kill you.
Copy !req
121. Make no mistake about it.
Copy !req
122. And I will be at peace
Copy !req
123. with whatever the
consequences of that are.
Copy !req
124. As you transition back
into your life at Riverdale High,
Copy !req
125. I would advise you to be
realistic in terms of your goals.
Copy !req
126. I am, Mr. Weatherbee.
Copy !req
127. I just... I wanna
get caught up
Copy !req
128. and I wanna be
a normal student again.
Copy !req
129. The SATs are
this coming Saturday.
Copy !req
130. I'm guessing you haven't really had
a chance to adequately prepare?
Copy !req
131. Not yet, sir.
Copy !req
132. Mr. Andrews,
given your situation,
Copy !req
133. I would strongly recommend
Copy !req
134. that you repeat
your junior year.
Copy !req
135. And not graduate
with my friends?
Copy !req
136. In the long term,
Copy !req
137. I believe it would be
best for you.
Copy !req
138. Everything all right?
You didn't text me back last night.
Copy !req
139. Reggie, cool it.
Copy !req
140. Archie's back.
Copy !req
141. Archie's back? Since when?
Copy !req
142. Look, I know we were... But...
Copy !req
143. I can't tell Archie that
one of his best friends
Copy !req
144. and his ex-girlfriend got
together while he was away, so...
Copy !req
145. - You and I, this has to...
- No, I get it.
Copy !req
146. Archie's back.
Copy !req
147. Enough said.
Copy !req
148. How's he doing?
Copy !req
149. He's feeling...
Copy !req
150. unsettled and stressed.
Copy !req
151. I may not be able to do
anything about the former,
Copy !req
152. but I definitely can
about the latter...
Copy !req
153. with something that'll help
all of us blow off some steam.
Copy !req
154. She can't
do this, can she?
Copy !req
155. She can as long as both of your parents
signed off to release your funds.
Copy !req
156. And from these,
it looks like
Copy !req
157. your father did sign.
Copy !req
158. No, that's impossible.
She never goes to see him.
Copy !req
159. Is this his signature?
Copy !req
160. No. That's a forgery.
Copy !req
161. And I know,
because I myself have forged it in the past
Copy !req
162. as part of an investigation.
Copy !req
163. Well, you need to get your real
father to sign an affidavit
Copy !req
164. attesting to the fact that he never
agreed to liquidate your funds.
Copy !req
165. Then we can pursue
legal action.
Copy !req
166. Which means...
Copy !req
167. I have to see my dad.
Copy !req
168. I'm sure you've heard, Hiram,
Copy !req
169. The Sisters of Quiet Mercy
estate is up for auction.
Copy !req
170. It appears to be a competitive
situation with multiple bidders,
Copy !req
171. including the Farm,
coming in with strong offers.
Copy !req
172. I have other plans
for that property.
Copy !req
173. For my brothel?
Copy !req
174. The Sisters will not be turned
into a brothel, Madame Blossom.
Copy !req
175. So then why did you
summon us here, Hiram?
Copy !req
176. Because we need a new Sheriff.
Copy !req
177. Someone who will allow
our various enterprises
Copy !req
178. to continue without scrutiny.
Copy !req
179. And I'm nominating
you, Claudius.
Copy !req
180. The last Sheriff, Minetta,
was found decapitated.
Copy !req
181. You're out of
your mind, Hiram.
Copy !req
182. Oh, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
183. Did I make it seem as if you had
a choice in the matter, Claudius?
Copy !req
184. That's where I want you.
Copy !req
185. It's not a request.
Copy !req
186. Iconoclast.
Copy !req
187. Iconoclast...
Copy !req
188. Okay, iconoclast...
That is...
Copy !req
189. A person who attacks
another's cherished beliefs.
Copy !req
190. I'm in high school.
How am I supposed to know that?
Copy !req
191. Why don't we start thinking about
the SATs in terms of strategy?
Copy !req
192. When in doubt,
why don't you just...
Copy !req
193. fill in all the bubbles
marked D?
Copy !req
194. Betty, how did I do
on the practice test?
Copy !req
195. I tanked it, didn't I?
Copy !req
196. Um...
Copy !req
197. I got a 600
on this part.
Copy !req
198. That's your combined
score, Arch.
Copy !req
199. It's in the bottom
tenth percentile.
Copy !req
200. All right, gotta go, guys.
It's Fangs.
Copy !req
201. Do you want me
to come with you?
Copy !req
202. No. I'd stay and get a couple
extra hours of cramming in.
Copy !req
203. If anyone's gonna get you up to speed,
it's gonna be Betty.
Copy !req
204. - Bye.
- Bye.
Copy !req
205. Good luck.
Copy !req
206. What's the point?
It's hopeless, right?
Copy !req
207. That's what you said when you were in
second grade and couldn't read, remember?
Copy !req
208. And we got you
caught up.
Copy !req
209. You did, you mean.
Copy !req
210. Maybe Weatherbee's right.
Maybe I'm...
Copy !req
211. I've just missed too much
or I've changed too much.
Copy !req
212. Well, in one respect,
maybe you have.
Copy !req
213. Do you trust me?
Copy !req
214. Jughead, I'm in.
Copy !req
215. Tell me everything.
What happened?
Copy !req
216. The Gargoyle King.
Copy !req
217. The other guys told me that he's
impressed by my Fizzle Rocks sales,
Copy !req
218. so he wants to invite me
into his inner circle.
Copy !req
219. They're having a ceremony
tomorrow night.
Copy !req
220. He'll be there.
Copy !req
221. Fangs, this is huge.
Where's it happening?
Copy !req
222. A clearing in Fox Forest
not too far from here.
Copy !req
223. - What do you want me to do?
- I want you to go.
Copy !req
224. Don't worry,
you're gonna have backup.
Copy !req
225. Okay, Archie,
let's see it.
Copy !req
226. There he is.
Copy !req
227. Just in time, too.
Copy !req
228. Just in time for what?
Copy !req
229. Surprise!
Copy !req
230. What is...
what is all this?
Copy !req
231. Well, it was going to be
a study party,
Copy !req
232. but that was before
you came back home to us.
Copy !req
233. So now it's a Study-slash-Welcome
Home party, Archie,
Copy !req
234. complete with a musical amuse bouche
provided by moi.
Copy !req
235. So take a seat, lover,
and let me entertain you.
Copy !req
236. It's good to see you, Betty.
Copy !req
237. I'm disappointed
it took so long.
Copy !req
238. So let's skip the small talk.
Copy !req
239. Is this your signature?
Copy !req
240. No.
Copy !req
241. What is that?
Copy !req
242. Mom stole my college funds,
Copy !req
243. so I need you to sign
an affidavit that says
Copy !req
244. that this signature
is a forgery.
Copy !req
245. In reading the papers
most recently,
Copy !req
246. I've found myself compelled
by this Gargoyle King.
Copy !req
247. Fourteen souls he's claimed.
Copy !req
248. Remarkable.
Copy !req
249. Of course. You'd find
a kill-count impressive.
Copy !req
250. I'll bet it roils you up that you
haven't caught him yet, doesn't it?
Copy !req
251. I could help you.
Copy !req
252. I'm just trying
to go to college.
Copy !req
253. This Gryphons and Gargoyles manual
that I've read so much about,
Copy !req
254. bring me a copy.
Copy !req
255. And I'll be happy
to sign your affidavit.
Copy !req
256. I'm not down
with it, Ronnie.
Copy !req
257. Archie taking off like that?
It's not cool.
Copy !req
258. He's in extremis, Reggie.
Copy !req
259. For all we know, he walked back to
Riverdale all the way from Canada.
Copy !req
260. And right into the pressure
cooker of school and the SATs.
Copy !req
261. All I'm saying is,
the Archie I saw last night, he's different.
Copy !req
262. I don't disagree.
Copy !req
263. He is different, Reggie.
Copy !req
264. And if it's permanent, hmm?
Copy !req
265. And he's not your
Archiekins anymore?
Copy !req
266. Look, I know what
you want me to say.
Copy !req
267. I just can't even think
about that right now.
Copy !req
268. You got some
pretty big coconuts
Copy !req
269. pulling that kind of stunt
last night.
Copy !req
270. You don't know what the hell
you're talking about, Reg.
Copy !req
271. I'm talking about how you stormed out of
the speakeasy like a little bitch, Andrews.
Copy !req
272. Bro, I'm warning you.
You don't wanna start with me.
Copy !req
273. Dude, what the hell happened?
How'd you get those scars?
Copy !req
274. I was attacked by a bear.
Copy !req
275. What? You serious?
Copy !req
276. You were attacked
by a friggin' bear?
Copy !req
277. Damn, no wonder why
you're all messed up.
Copy !req
278. Mi amor,
we've outgrown the Pembrooke,
Copy !req
279. so I've decided to buy
The Sisters of Quiet Mercy.
Copy !req
280. It'll be our castle,
our stronghold.
Copy !req
281. Sounds wonderful.
Copy !req
282. Except for the fact
that the place is probably
Copy !req
283. being haunted by the ghosts
of the nuns that died there.
Copy !req
284. I'll have it cleansed
by a Senora.
Copy !req
285. In the meantime, I need you to appoint
Claudius Blossom Sheriff of Riverdale.
Copy !req
286. After some
careful consideration,
Copy !req
287. he's agreed
to take on the challenge.
Copy !req
288. Hiram...
Copy !req
289. no.
Copy !req
290. Claudius Blossom is
your business partner.
Copy !req
291. - People will talk.
- Let them talk.
Copy !req
292. Given our recent expansions,
Copy !req
293. it's imperative that we have a friend
we can trust in the Sheriff's office.
Copy !req
294. Ironic, considering I don't
know what these expansions are.
Copy !req
295. Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Copy !req
296. It's what's best
for the family, Hermione.
Copy !req
297. So, for all our sakes,
Copy !req
298. but especially yours,
Copy !req
299. I'd do it quick.
Copy !req
300. The G&G manual,
as requested.
Copy !req
301. Did you bring the affidavit?
Copy !req
302. Leaving so quickly?
Copy !req
303. Can't we at least
exchange pleasantries?
Copy !req
304. What? What do you
want to talk about, huh?
Copy !req
305. The SATs,
my college applications...
Copy !req
306. I think we're beyond
that point, don't you?
Copy !req
307. Perhaps.
So what if we talked about Ascension Night?
Copy !req
308. How do you know about that?
Copy !req
309. I was there.
Copy !req
310. How?
Copy !req
311. You weren't a member
of the Midnight Club.
Copy !req
312. No, but I knew about them.
Copy !req
313. Who they were.
Copy !req
314. I was the one who sent them the
invitations for Ascension Night.
Copy !req
315. Who dressed up
as the Gargoyle King.
Copy !req
316. And who poisoned
the chalices.
Copy !req
317. Wait. You killed
Principal Featherhead?
Copy !req
318. - Why?
- My plan had been to kill
Copy !req
319. as many members of the
Midnight Club as possible
Copy !req
320. because they were
all sinners, Betty.
Copy !req
321. Every last one of them.
Copy !req
322. But Featherhead crashed the
party and drank from the cups...
Copy !req
323. Was he your first kill?
Copy !req
324. Yes.
Copy !req
325. Is that why you think
you can solve the mystery
Copy !req
326. of the Gargoyle King
in the present? Because...
Copy !req
327. Because I was the Gargoyle King,
in the past.
Copy !req
328. You and your mother
keep missing each other.
Copy !req
329. Excuse me?
My mother hasn't been here in months.
Copy !req
330. Her name is Alice Cooper,
isn't it?
Copy !req
331. Yeah...
Copy !req
332. She comes every Monday.
Like clockwork.
Copy !req
333. Fresh whites coming in.
Copy !req
334. What, you changing it up
in here a little bit?
Copy !req
335. I was studying at my desk,
but it was cluttered with all this crap.
Copy !req
336. Whoa. Who is this guy?
Copy !req
337. The Variety Show.
You remember that?
Copy !req
338. - That was great.
- Barely, to be honest.
Copy !req
339. Are... are you
feeling okay, son?
Copy !req
340. Yeah, Dad,
I'm just... restless.
Copy !req
341. It's weird being home,
back in this room after all this time.
Copy !req
342. I'm feeling kind of lost.
Copy !req
343. Wanna talk about it?
Copy !req
344. Maybe after the SATs.
I better keep studying.
Copy !req
345. - Yeah.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
346. Fangs Fogarty,
kneel before your King.
Copy !req
347. To enter his kingdom,
you must bear his mark.
Copy !req
348. The mark of the Gargoyle.
Copy !req
349. Now!
Copy !req
350. It's the Serpents. Scatter!
Copy !req
351. Sweet Pea, get Fangs!
Copy !req
352. You're mine!
Copy !req
353. Tall Boy?
Copy !req
354. We all thought
you were dead, Tall Boy.
Copy !req
355. Where you been hiding?
Copy !req
356. A small town called Athens.
Copy !req
357. Gotta say,
it's good to be back.
Copy !req
358. And Alice Cooper,
she was looking extra sweet
Copy !req
359. the night me and my boys
broke into her house
Copy !req
360. and scared the crap out of
her and her bitch daughter.
Copy !req
361. That was fun...
Copy !req
362. All right,
let's cut to the chase.
Copy !req
363. We know
you're working for Hiram.
Copy !req
364. You've been dressing up
in that little costume,
Copy !req
365. like his mascot.
Copy !req
366. So now you are gonna
help us take him down.
Copy !req
367. You know what else was fun?
Copy !req
368. Carving that symbol into Joaquin's
forehead after I killed him...
Copy !req
369. - You're dead!
- You son of a bitch!
Copy !req
370. What? He killed Joaquin!
Copy !req
371. What do you think,
Tall Boy, huh?
Copy !req
372. Should I let them tear you
limb from limb
Copy !req
373. or are you gonna help us
get to Hiram?
Copy !req
374. I know you have access to him.
Copy !req
375. The Man in Black would never
agree to meet with me.
Copy !req
376. Not unless I have something
Copy !req
377. that he really wants.
Copy !req
378. Mom?
Copy !req
379. Why are you
dressed like that, hmm?
Copy !req
380. Oh, is that what you wear
when you go visit Dad?
Copy !req
381. Okay, I don't have time for
your mad ranting, Betty.
Copy !req
382. I'm prepping for an interview
with RIVW.
Copy !req
383. You know it's been my lifelong dream
to work for local broadcast news.
Copy !req
384. I went to see Dad.
Copy !req
385. To try and get my money back
after you forged his signature.
Copy !req
386. - Okay, Betty...
- Dad said he was the one
Copy !req
387. who murdered
Principal Featherhead.
Copy !req
388. Well, that's impossible.
Copy !req
389. Your father wasn't
even there that night.
Copy !req
390. And how would Dad know details
about Ascension Night, and he does,
Copy !req
391. unless he was there,
or someone told him about the Midnight Club,
Copy !req
392. and that someone
has to be you, Mom.
Copy !req
393. Okay, Betty, I swear to you,
in 25 years of marriage,
Copy !req
394. I never mentioned
Ascension Night once.
Copy !req
395. And I haven't gone
to see your father
Copy !req
396. since before this whole Gryphons
and Gargoyles mess started.
Copy !req
397. Well, someone named Alice
Cooper's been visiting him.
Copy !req
398. No. No.
Copy !req
399. Hey, Reg, you busy?
Copy !req
400. Nah, just swiping on Bumble,
Copy !req
401. praying that the future Mrs.
Mantle is within a 30-mile radius.
Copy !req
402. The truth is,
love doesn't come easily to me these days.
Copy !req
403. Or does it?
Copy !req
404. Yeah.
Copy !req
405. Listen, Reg.
Copy !req
406. I need to talk to you
about something.
Copy !req
407. I need to talk to you
about cheating.
Copy !req
408. Aw, dude, she told you?
Copy !req
409. You know it's over, right?
Copy !req
410. What are you
talking about, Reg?
Copy !req
411. What the hell
are you talking about?
Copy !req
412. I... figured you'd know
a way to cheat on the SATs.
Copy !req
413. Oh, crap.
Copy !req
414. She's gonna kill me.
Copy !req
415. She didn't think
you were gonna come back.
Copy !req
416. I didn't think
you were gonna come back.
Copy !req
417. Maybe I shouldn't have.
Copy !req
418. Look, Jug, I don't know if I
can handle any more quizzing.
Copy !req
419. That's not why I'm here.
I need your help, Archie.
Copy !req
420. The Gargoyle King
is Tall Boy.
Copy !req
421. We have him locked down
in the bunker.
Copy !req
422. - Tall Boy's alive?
- Yeah, he's been hiding in Athens.
Copy !req
423. This is our shot to finally
smoke out Hiram Lodge.
Copy !req
424. But we're going to need bait to lure
the Man in Black out of the shadows.
Copy !req
425. I'm betting the thing
that he still wants most...
Copy !req
426. is you.
Copy !req
427. Save your breath, Jug.
Copy !req
428. You don't have to convince me to
take down Hiram Lodge. I'm in.
Copy !req
429. - This is Hiram.
- I have the Red Paladin.
Copy !req
430. Him and his friends tried
to ambush us in the woods.
Copy !req
431. - If you want him...
- I do.
Copy !req
432. - Where?
- Usual meeting place.
Copy !req
433. Nine o'clock.
Copy !req
434. Understood.
Copy !req
435. Good work.
Copy !req
436. Hi, this is Elizabeth Cooper.
Copy !req
437. I was just there yesterday
visiting my dad, Hal Cooper,
Copy !req
438. and you mentioned that
my mom has also been visiting.
Copy !req
439. I know this is gonna seem
like a weird question,
Copy !req
440. but can you just describe to me
what Alice Cooper looks like?
Copy !req
441. Thank you for
meeting me, Auntie.
Copy !req
442. I was reluctant to show up
Copy !req
443. since the last time we met,
Copy !req
444. you accused me of murder.
Copy !req
445. - I trust that won't be happening again.
- No, Auntie.
Copy !req
446. But I did want to ask,
Copy !req
447. are you one of those sickos who
fantasizes about serial killers?
Copy !req
448. As a young woman,
Copy !req
449. I did write the odd letter
to Jeffrey Dahmer, yes.
Copy !req
450. Was there a specific reason
you asked?
Copy !req
451. Yeah. You've been posing as
my mother to visit my father.
Copy !req
452. Why?
Copy !req
453. It's the only way
to get conjugal visits.
Copy !req
454. A man has his needs.
Copy !req
455. Did you ever tell him
about Ascension Night?
Copy !req
456. Yes, during pillow talk.
Copy !req
457. He's claiming he was
the Gargoyle King back then.
Copy !req
458. Why would he lie to me
about that?
Copy !req
459. Oh, men and their delusions.
Why do they do anything?
Copy !req
460. Self-aggrandizement.
Copy !req
461. You sick narcissist.
Copy !req
462. You made it all up.
You were not at Ascension Night.
Copy !req
463. The only reason
you even know about it
Copy !req
464. is because Penelope Blossom
told you.
Copy !req
465. So I've been asking myself,
Copy !req
466. why would you take credit
for murdering Featherhead?
Copy !req
467. Was it so
I would write about it?
Copy !req
468. To put you,
the original Big Bad, Black Hood
Copy !req
469. back in the spotlight?
Copy !req
470. Try again.
Copy !req
471. Why would I dangle such an
outrageous lie in front of you?
Copy !req
472. I have no clue!
Copy !req
473. Come on,
think about it, Betty.
Copy !req
474. Why would a father tell
his daughter such a thing?
Copy !req
475. For what possible reason?
Copy !req
476. To keep me on the line.
Copy !req
477. To keep me coming back to you.
Copy !req
478. Oh, Betty,
how I've missed you and our chats.
Copy !req
479. You will stoop to any level
Copy !req
480. to get me back in your clutches,
won't you?
Copy !req
481. I just wanted some
father-daughter time.
Copy !req
482. Well, I hope you got
your fill today,
Copy !req
483. because I will never be
coming back here again.
Copy !req
484. Well, that's what
you said before.
Copy !req
485. You're not Hiram.
Copy !req
486. Tall Boy?
Copy !req
487. Looks like neither of us
is who we were expecting.
Copy !req
488. - What the devil...
- Claudius Blossom.
Copy !req
489. You're not
the Man in Black.
Copy !req
490. What happened?
Why would Hiram send you?
Copy !req
491. I don't know what you mean.
Copy !req
492. Save it for
the judge, Blossom.
Copy !req
493. You may not be the Man in Black,
but his stink is on you.
Copy !req
494. I'm making a citizen's arrest.
Copy !req
495. Ronnie...
Copy !req
496. Hey.
Copy !req
497. Reggie called me.
Copy !req
498. - Archie...
- Ronnie...
Copy !req
499. You don't have to explain.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Copy !req
500. Archie, when we broke up,
Copy !req
501. I was angry.
Copy !req
502. At my father
for driving you away,
Copy !req
503. but mostly at you
Copy !req
504. for not fighting
to stay by my side.
Copy !req
505. And the more time passed,
Copy !req
506. the more I got tired
of missing you.
Copy !req
507. And now that I'm back?
Copy !req
508. Oh God, Archie.
Copy !req
509. This is the worst time
to be doing this.
Copy !req
510. Then let's not.
Copy !req
511. Let's finish this
conversation tomorrow.
Copy !req
512. But tonight,
can we be together?
Copy !req
513. Will you stay with me?
Copy !req
514. You have 30 minutes to complete the
first portion of the SAT Math section.
Copy !req
515. When you are finished,
do not skip ahead to other sections.
Copy !req
516. I will issue a five-minute
warning for your convenience
Copy !req
517. prior to the time limit.
Copy !req
518. Do you all understand?
Copy !req
519. Good.
Copy !req
520. You may begin.
Copy !req
521. Is there a problem?
Copy !req
522. Archie...
Copy !req
523. If you follow him out that door,
it's an automatic zero.
Copy !req
524. Don't worry about
Claudius' arrest, mi amor.
Copy !req
525. Why do you think I sent him
instead of going myself?
Copy !req
526. I have instincts
about these things.
Copy !req
527. It's how I stay alive,
Copy !req
528. by always being one step
ahead of everyone else.
Copy !req
529. Eat up.
Copy !req
530. Betty, you're just in time!
Copy !req
531. We are celebrating with some raw
milk and oatmeal-raisin cookies.
Copy !req
532. Mmm. Celebrating what?
Copy !req
533. With a little help from
Edgar's connections,
Copy !req
534. I got the job!
Copy !req
535. And that's not all.
The Farm has found and bought
Copy !req
536. its new headquarters.
Copy !req
537. The convent where The Sisters
of Quiet Mercy used to live.
Copy !req
538. Thank you so much, Betty.
Copy !req
539. What? What did I do?
Copy !req
540. Well, thanks to your
generous contribution, Betty,
Copy !req
541. all of us, including those
lost souls you saved
Copy !req
542. will benefit with a new
permanent home in Riverdale.
Copy !req
543. It's the dawn of a new era
for the Farm.
Copy !req
544. - Cheers!
- Cheers.
Copy !req
545. Excuse me, room 260. Lodge?
Copy !req
546. Ronnie...
Copy !req
547. I'm sorry
I missed your calls.
Copy !req
548. Where have you been?
Copy !req
549. I came as soon as I heard.
Copy !req
550. How is he?
Copy !req
551. We don't know.
Copy !req
552. He just got out of surgery.
Copy !req
553. What the hell happened?
Copy !req
554. He was shot...
Copy !req
555. sometime after you
ran out of the SATs.
Copy !req
556. Sometime after I...
Copy !req
557. Wait.
Copy !req
558. You don't think that I...
Copy !req
559. Did you?
Copy !req
560. No.
Copy !req
561. But the fact that you could
even ask me that...
Copy !req
562. It's over, isn't it?
Copy !req
563. Fangs, Sweet Pea.
What happened?
Copy !req
564. - Don't touch him don't touch him.
- What happened?
Copy !req
565. Tall Boy was just
trying to escape...
Copy !req
566. I don't know.
It was an accident.
Copy !req
567. You gotta believe us.
Copy !req
568. What are we gonna do, Jug?
Look at him.
Copy !req
569. What do we do, Jug?
Copy !req
570. I told him not to come at me like that.
I told him.
Copy !req
571. What do we do?
Look at him!
Copy !req
572. Shut up! Let me think!
Copy !req
573. Phew.
Copy !req
574. We're gonna throw a party.
Copy !req
575. Okay.
Copy !req
576. Looks like Hiram's gonna be
out of commission for a while.
Copy !req
577. You must be relieved.
Copy !req
578. I'm not.
Copy !req
579. What's wrong, son?
Copy !req
580. Veronica and I broke up.
Copy !req
581. I also walked out of
the SATs today, so...
Copy !req
582. I don't know how to do this.
Copy !req
583. To just pretend
Copy !req
584. like everything's the same
as it was before.
Copy !req
585. It's gonna take you a minute
to pick up the pieces.
Copy !req
586. But listen...
Copy !req
587. Let's take it slow.
Copy !req
588. How did you
get through juvie?
Copy !req
589. All that time alone
Copy !req
590. in the wilderness,
on the run?
Copy !req
591. I fought.
Copy !req
592. Every day.
Copy !req
593. I didn't stop fighting.
I fought for my life.
Copy !req
594. Well, you'll just have
to keep fighting.
Copy !req
595. It's meal time,
Mr. Blossom.
Copy !req
596. How is he?
Copy !req
597. Hermione...
Copy !req
598. How is he?
Copy !req
599. Well, Hiram's stable
for now, at least.
Copy !req
600. That's not why
I called you here, FP.
Copy !req
601. I think it's time.
Copy !req
602. No one else understands
what she's capable of.
Copy !req
603. No one but you.
Copy !req
604. She just gave
my money away, Dad.
Copy !req
605. Mom gave all my money...
Copy !req
606. like my education
meant nothing.
Copy !req
607. It means everything.
Copy !req
608. And I'm sorry, Betty.
Copy !req
609. But here's the good news.
Copy !req
610. Betty, you're gonna have
colleges lining up
Copy !req
611. to give you scholarships.
Copy !req
612. Weren't the SATs
this weekend?
Copy !req
613. So how'd you do?
Copy !req
614. Pretty good, I think.
Copy !req
615. Reggie?
Copy !req
616. Come here.
Copy !req
617. We're freaking out, dude.
Copy !req
618. Hey, just keep it
together, guys, okay?
Copy !req
619. It was an accident.
Copy !req
620. As far as anyone knows,
Tall Boy's been exiled.
Copy !req
621. I exiled him.
Copy !req
622. Relax, okay?
Just grab a drink.
Copy !req
623. And party like your life
depends on it.
Copy !req
624. Serpents...
Copy !req
625. we have a lot to celebrate!
Copy !req
626. We finally unmasked our foe,
the Gargoyle King.
Copy !req
627. Hiram Lodge, the Man in Black,
is down for the count!
Copy !req
628. Yeah.
Copy !req
629. And tonight,
we're welcoming back one of our own...
Copy !req
630. Fangs Fogarty.
Copy !req
631. Serpents!
Serpents! Serpents!
Copy !req
632. God, man,
they know about Tall Boy.
Copy !req
633. Dad?
Copy !req
634. Sheriff Jones now, boy.
Copy !req
635. Listen up!
You're looking at the new law in Riverdale.
Copy !req
636. Son...
Copy !req
637. You hit that thing any harder,
Alice is going to file a noise complaint.
Copy !req
638. It's like you said, Dad,
Copy !req
639. you gotta keep
fighting, right?
Copy !req
640. It looks like a cell
in here.
Copy !req
641. You gonna be okay?
Copy !req
642. I think so, Dad, yeah.
Copy !req
643. Greg, move your head.
Copy !req
