But this time, Betty gets a call warning her to get out of the house because there's a bomb under the bed. The episode ends with Riverdale's Jughead waking up in Archie's garage when all the windows explode.
All in all, I have to say I enjoyed the th episode. It was entirely crazy, but that's what Riverdale is. And I'm a sucker for callbacks and meta humor of any kind, so this was all very up my alley.
That being said, I don't understand how there was another Jughead at the end? Was Jughead no. Okay, I have to stop saying Jug now. Check out our daily must-see picks — plus news, celeb interviews, trivia, and more — on EW's What to Watch podcast.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Survive the Night. Riverdale acknowledged its craziness and dove in head-first to give us even more outlandish plots. And this time, Riverdale felt like it was in on the joke, playing off of all the shipping, the soap opera plots, and its darker crime noir style. The biggest hurdle with a meta-inspired episode is the layers involved. The story should be easy to explain and have all the elements make sense to the viewer.
The more scientific approach was taken from The Twilight Zone, so there were a lot of parallel universe conversations going on. Think the multiverses from DC and Marvel. One thing: can we make it during the wedding? Jughead: Yeah, I hear that. The many layers were confusing at times, and if I didn't have an understanding of multiverses, I would've gotten lost. And the explanations for the bleeding loops and breaking Riverdale from Rivervale didn't help the confusion.
A bit more finessing of the dialogue could've smoothened out these bumps. Whenever a point needed to be made about the time loop, a fun surprise or callback would show us that something bad was going on.
They could be big scene-changers or subtle easter eggs to the past. Jughead: Wedding? Cheryl: Awkward! Archie: Jug, Betty and I are getting married this weekend. Some of the best callbacks included Jughead entering Rivervale High to relive Riverdale Season 1 Episode 1 in the hallways or whenever someone read from the comics to discuss a storyline from a past chapter.
The nods were so referential and aware of their own backstory. Plus, the nods hit all the right funny and emotional notes. He will always be missed. The cleverest nod was the return of the original Reggie played by Ross Butler. That twist was a chef's kiss moment and peak comedy! Both Reggies might've been different in certain areas, but they were the same in their hotheadedness and ego.
Update March I must admit I have been enjoying this series less and less as the years move along. For this season they jump 7 years ahead when evil Mr Lodge is trying to eradicate Riverdale and the Archie gang of characters as young adults are working against him to preserve the town. Several of them are now teachers at their old school. The stories are too far removed from the old Archie comics and are too dark for me to enjoy, I am gradually giving up on future episodes. However I just watched all of the first season on a 3-DVD set from my public library, I like it best.
A dark live action adaptation of the Archie comic books. Archie is pumped up and muscular in this one a far cry from the comic. Grundy is an old ugly teacher in the comic--here she's young and hot.
Kellar has blond hair and blue eyes in the comic--here he was dark hair and eyes. Also it seems Moose here is gay or at least bisexual. There's also no humor in this one. It's DARK dealing with mostly murder and sex. It moves fairly quick, the cast is young, attractive and can act.
Honestly I was never bored. Worth seeing. There is something watchable about this non action hero Greg Berlanti produced adaptation of the Archie Comics into a teen soap drama. Archie wasn't one of the comics I read as a kid and it's probably better since I didn't have any preconceptions about what the characters should be like or look like. The cast is quite likable and appealing.
What's particularly good is the grown ups are played by A list for TV 40 to 50 something actors. Madchen Amick of Twin Peaks etc stands out as mother of Betty. She has always been watchable. Luke Perry makes a return to the small screen and doesn't look too old. They aren't relegated to supporting idiots like other teen shows and that keeps it interesting.
The younger generation is an appealing bunch. Lili Reinhart is quite sweet as Betty - reminds of Sarah Gadon. Another newcomer Camile Mendes is a striking Veronica who has some really funny lines. AJ Kapa plays Archie and does a good job. Kudos to producers for casting a Samoan actor in this white role. Cole Sprouse is the outsider Jughead. They may not be the best looking cast of the teen shows on the air now but they are good actors and that's what counts in the long run.
There is a fairly diverting mystery in Season 1 of 13 episodes involving murder of the captain of the football team. It's quite a well written plot for this 1 season and is satisfactorily resolved by the end of it. Looking forward to Season 2. My review might not count for much as I only saw one episode but to me that was already enough to have an opinion about it. I thought I gave this series a shot because of the mystery element it is supposed to have.
Not my favorite network, that's the least you can say. Their audience are teenagers, or people that like teenager bad quality acting stuff. I wonder if I would have liked this when I was a teenager myself. I like comics, but the European ones, so I never heared about Archie. I wonder if I would have liked that one. If it's the same garbage than this show probably not. The soundtrack is also terrible, a major point for me to give up immediately. The typical bad sound youngsters listen to.
After one episode I had enough, it might get better, I don't know, even though I really doubt that, but there are so many really good shows on today that I'm not going to waste my time with this one.
Riverdale begins with an interesting set up for a mystery, with a pair of teens heading out to the river for mysterious reasons, and only one coming back. It was a solid five minutes of entertainment.
Then there was about 40 minutes of soap opera stuff, with the mystery popping up again in the last minute. The mystery is mildly intriguing, but I found it difficult to care much about the characters, who seem rather generic.
As for the meta premise of Archie comics with an edge, Mad Magazine did a much more interesting version of the concept decades ago they were, as I recall, all thugs. Perhaps to find this alternate take interesting you need to like the original; I always thought Archie was about the most tedious comic book series on the planet. The series is very much stuff you've seen before, including the evil queen bee and the shy good girl. I will, however, give the show points for not doing the thing that most aggravates me about a lot of teen dramas in which every dramatic moment is backed up by a pop song.
The series actually understands how to use scoring to highlight the action, so bravo for that. None of this is really that bad, except perhaps the evil popular girl trope, which only really works when played for broad laughs Heathers, Scream Queens.
The cast is attractive and overall everything seems pretty competent. But the pilot was all I really need of this. I'm not even intrigued enough by the mystery to look up how it ended on wikipedia at the end of the season. Confused messaging with '70s or thereabouts car, home decor, fashions and appearance for that period then you have cell phones, text messages and emails?
So I'll pretend it's just a timeless series. Which brings up the fifth worst part - dumbed down middle school level short monosyllabic sentences.
Must be for the high number of "attention deficit" disorder viewers. Fifth worst part is outside of talking heads the rest is filled with cheerleaders, dances, singing group, and endless very fakey cat fights people version. So back to second worst, the whole thing is so tedious the producers forced the inclusion of a misdirection killing. Yes, it's not who you think and the show sets up as the killer, but is almost the least likely person. Who would have guessed!
Finally, acting? No comment. The Archie Comics that originated in the s were rated "G" for Goofy. Maybe not as goofy as "Scooby Doo", but it was a wholesome you might say "square" universe.
