I definitely have to say that this episode of Riverdale, yes, we are talking about men of honor.
And yes, it's chapter 69, which I definitely did that about for at least five minutes before watching the episode.
It's better than the last episode.
It is better.
I will agree with you, but it's interesting because I never know whether you're going to like an episode or not.
I thought that I understood your patterns.
I mean, usually sexy than in, but there's no sexy in this one.
There isn't.
And there's always intrigue, but some of the intrigue we like and some makes us angry.
So I'm interested to hear why you think that this episode is better than the previous episode.
Because you know what?
There was a lot of Uncle Daddy in this episode.
And you know how I do not like Uncle Daddy?
We don't like Uncle Daddy.
We are on the same page here of not liking Uncle Daddy.
And this episode, I guess it made me like him a little bit more.
I will say this is the first time that the series writer and the co-executive producer, Ariana Jackson,
it was her first time writing this episode.
And it seemed like they came in with an idea to advance the plot in some manner.
And I will say I liked that this episode actually went places for the first time in a couple.
of episodes. You know what I mean? You like plot advancement? I know, shock. How dare I ask for plot
advancement as well as teen kisses. But I was very happy because we saw FP at least just a little
bit in this episode. I miss him. I miss F.P. I miss how I miss his face. I miss his arms. I miss
his big burly chest. I miss him. I miss him so much. I miss his like wise rogue justice.
I miss his rough guidance for the children.
I miss everything about FP and I don't, I said it last week and I'm saying it again.
I don't want hot Uncle Daddy.
I want hot bad daddy who's not a cop, FP, Serpent Daddy.
But let's talk about Uncle Daddy for a minute because now we know.
So I didn't realize this.
So I was rewatching last week's episode with Jeff because he was out of town.
And every time.
Let's just say that that is extremely devoid.
You're both a devoted girlfriend and a devoted Riverdale watcher.
Thank you, Molly.
I'll take it.
Well, because also he's not going to watch it and he's going to ask a bunch of questions.
So really, I'm just being selfish.
So I'd rather you just fucking watch it so I don't have to answer all these questions.
So I didn't realize in the last episode that every turn that Uncle Daddy was like,
well, I did have spent, you know, I did serve my time.
You know, I was in the military.
You know, all those years when I was in active war.
fair. Like that's what he kept bringing up and I didn't realize. And like so Jeff just kept being like,
did you know he was in the military? Did you know he served? Yeah, I actually realized that what,
as soon as we started watching this episode, I was like, it's funny that Jackie and I haven't
talked about how annoying it is that he mentions that he like, like the expository like back
when I was abroad, like mentioned at the beginning of every single sentence. And I always just
took it as like shitty efforts at character development.
But it turns out they were planting little seeds.
Seeds. Riverdale was giving his little seeds.
That's why you never know where the seeds are going to come from.
So this episode, guys, what did we find out about Uncle Daddy?
Number one, he has another daddy friend.
He has a gingy daddy friend.
Although, you know what I'm going to throw it out there?
Not into him.
And usually I love a gingy daddy, but I wasn't into him.
No, no, thank you, Ted Bishop.
Ted Bishop shows up.
Gengi Daddy shows up. He was an old pal. And he came to tell him in person that one of their old war buddies, because he was also in the war, had his, what did it say? It was like, his guts got all rancid.
And he died of cancer. Cancer, yeah, ate up his guts or something. And he ate up his guts, which also just called.
Archie is like ever the bright-eyed loser who can't read the room is like
Oh Mr. Bishop you want to come to dinner with us oh Mr. Bishop sleep in my mom's bed
Mr. Bishop you can stay as long as you want it's just leave it alone Archie he wants
New Jinji Daddy to also be another daddy in his life the boy is desperate for a father figure
So now he has two of them, but guess what, Molly Neffle?
They were both mercenaries for a shady paramilitary organization.
And he's come to not only kill Uncle Daddy, but to kill his entire family.
I got to say, I was not expecting a mercenary plot in Riverdale.
I was not expecting a mercenary plot at all.
But I will, I got to throw it out there.
the fight scenes in this episode were to die.
I loved it.
So first of all, then Gingy Daddy, he attacks Uncle Daddy after Archie left to go to a school,
but Archie forgot his phone.
So he comes in and almost kills Gingy Daddy.
With a cast iron skillet.
And then he runs away.
Yeah, he with a skillet.
Which I appreciate it.
And Gingy Daddy just had a knife.
And there was some knife throwing in that scene.
but my favorite, I feel like I do miss Riverdale's, like, camp, like, a lot.
I talk a lot about what I miss about Riverdale.
And I feel like it should be cornyer, you know?
And I liked that scene because it was really corny because, like, there's this, like, real tense,
like, wrestling match with a knife in the kitchen and then Archie knocks him out with a skillet.
And he just goes, I forgot my phone.
And I think that's what I want from Riverdale.
That's the shit that.
keeps me coming back.
I love it now.
So also Uncle Daddy has, he had earned the red badge of courage in the war, which
that I, like, I don't know why Riverdale will still get me every once in a while, like
with the late, like when she went to Lacey's instead of Macy's, that I love it.
I hate it.
And I love it.
He got the red badge of courage for saving Gingy Daddy in the war, which just call it a Purple Heart.
You're allowed to say Purple Heart on television.
Yeah, yeah, it's ridiculous.
And now Gingy Daddy is on the run and he's in Riverdale and he has to kill Uncle Daddy.
But Uncle Daddy's like, no, no, no, I didn't mean to come here.
And see, I started yelling about Uncle Daddy because it was like, oh, so how dare you ex-mercenary on the run from the paramilitary organization?
How dare you just show up in Riverdale and put your whole family in danger?
But Jeff did mention, and I'll give it to him, that he did keep him.
that he did keep saying like,
I'm just here to visit.
I'm just giving my condolences.
I'm not staying.
And Archie did this.
Archie archied it and kind of like forced him to stay.
I don't know.
I don't know who to root for.
This is why I hate this plot line because I,
I won't root for Archie.
But I also won't root for Uncle Daddy because yes,
you're right or Jeff is right like that he kept being like,
no, I shouldn't stay.
But he was saying that with the like,
you know,
with the clear intent of a grift.
who was like, oh, I guess I'll just stay at your house for one more month if that's cool.
You know, like, he's a grown-ass man.
He could have left and he didn't.
You're right.
But also, yes, Archie was like, just stay and be my daddy.
So they're both to blame.
They're both to blame.
And you know what?
I will say they are definitely written like they are family.
It's that saying like, oh, I've got to do what's good.
It's like, okay.
And then, which I don't even possibly understand how.
that this ex, well, I guess current mercenary, gets into, again, another adult that does not even have a child is on Riverdale campus.
Now, in a bathroom, no less, where underage children pee, and then he attacks Archie, puts him through multiple walls and through a sink.
I enjoyed that bathroom scene, that bathroom fight quite a lot.
That was like a real, it was just the right amount of like ridiculous damage being done to the school.
Like nobody getting too hurt.
But like, like, Archie like rips a pipe out of the sink at some point.
Like it was, that was like a perfect fight.
It was a perfect.
Nobody got hurt, but yet everything was destroyed.
It was absolutely amazing.
But I was also like, I mean, I felt like I needed this catharsis.
I know we've watched Archie get the shit beaten out of him before,
but you know what it is?
I think I've always been chasing the dream
because we never got to see him fight the bear.
And I think that I've always wanted to watch him fight the bear.
And this was a good close second.
I mean, getting thrown through multiple bathroom stalls
and through a sink is pretty great.
Yeah, and at least they're using the whole Archie
such a good boxer thing because I was like,
well, finally it matters that this guy spent his last like two years being like,
I only care about boxing
so that I was like, do they really just
do two years of a plotline
of Archie being a good boxer so that he can just
like kick the ass of whoever ever gets in his
way which is like, you know, I guess
that's fine. Yeah, which I mean
I'm down to watch it. Now he's
did Gingy Daddy die?
He's dead, right? No, he just
got into the safe custody of the feds.
That's right. Oh my God, I forgot.
I'm sorry. Guys, I watched this yesterday
And yet still, there's just so much happened.
I forgot because then they go to FP, which I'm just, I got so excited because then Uncle Daddy sets up, of course, at the boxing ring.
And he's like, come at me, Jinji Daddy, we're going to fight to the death.
But it was a setup.
It was a sting.
And when all of those people walked in, when they're in the boxing ring and then all the people walked in, I thought it was the serpents.
and I got very, very, very excited.
Wait, it wasn't the serpents?
I don't know.
Or was it?
Who was it?
I thought it was the serpents too.
Because FP's like, oh, I know how to handle a guy in a fight.
Leave it to me.
But then he brought him to jail.
Yeah, I know, which is a total cop out, if you will.
No, if it's the serpents, go beat him to death in the woods.
That's what serpents do.
Serpent never sheds its skin.
Serpent never sheds its fucking skin, which is what I kept to see.
screaming as Tony, which we, I've been desperate for a Cheryl and Tony plotline for a minute.
And now that there's not, you know, which I loved the whole body still living in the house
with a enchanted doll that was coming after them. And then it just all went away. He's like,
oh, it's just mother doing these things. So now you have to remember, Cheryl and Veronica and
Tony are running the maple lounge. Maple box? What is it? Maple Club. They're running the Maple Club, which is used to be a brothel, but it's not a brothel. And yet still, it is filled with very attractive women and very gross dudes and a bunch of beds, but it's not a brothel. It's just a hangout spot. It appears to be a rum club where you could get a private room. It's definitely still a brothel. It is a thousand percent still a brothel, but that's okay. I
I am pro sex work and I think it's a great idea.
Even if it's not, even it's not the work part of it, even if you just drink a lot of rum and want to get laid, which I don't usually do because all the sugar hurts my belly and the last thing I want is for, for sex to happen.
But maybe that's just me.
But why is Nick St. Clair, who you may remember as the date rapist from, I think, season two, he comes back.
And he's like, I'm looking for a place to have a party.
So clearly the secret teenage brothel sex club,
it doesn't seem that they employ sex workers,
but it does seem like they just have rooms around if you want to fuck,
which I think makes it more of like a sex club than a maple club.
But then Nick St. Clair, who doesn't even live in Riverdale,
comes in and is like,
I'm looking for a place to celebrate with my friends
because we all got into Harvard.
And then Tony's like,
all right, let me show you what we have to offer, at which point she walks up over to a table with, like,
three bottles of rum on it. And I'm just like, how does this business establishment work?
You just like... I don't understand. It's all secret, Molly.
Come in and choose your type of rum you'll be getting, I guess. And, uh, but then Cheryl sees him
and is very upset and, uh, and, uh, kind of triggered, retomitized from, because he had, uh,
tried to date rape her in season two, which is like, reminded him.
me that Riverdale used to have like slightly actually serious plotlines rather than just like
our characters are today are like having a fucking war in the woods you know like there was a time
when Riverdale was like here are some issues that affect teens and I think that that was good but
you know they pepper them they pepper them in kind of have we had anything even remotely as grounded
is that plot line.
And they handled it well, to their credit.
Like, it was like a great, this is Riverdale
at its best man when somebody does something
fucked up and then all the teens unite
against it. Like in season one, there was
that notebook where the boys were shaming the girls
and all the girls fucking round up and
got revenge on him.
That was like my favorite thing that has ever happened
in Riverdale. And then season two, there's a date rapist
and then they all get vengeance on him.
This is what Riverdale does best.
Wait, do they just keep,
do they keep Ethel in their back pocket
until they need someone at least slightly different from all of the young, tight,
hearts to come in.
I'm going to go ahead and guess.
I'm throwing it out there now that Ethel's going to be brought in for the musical
because they don't have enough people that can sing.
Is Ethel still?
What is Ethel status?
Where's Ethel?
I don't know.
Where's Ethel?
She was one of the children in the, in the, the, the, oh, what?
What was it? The Sisters of Quiet Mercy, right?
But then she was in the bunker for a while, remember?
That's right. She was like the dead mother. She was like the Wendy to the Lost Boys.
That's right. She was the Wendy of G&G. So she's probably somewhere
forcing her mouth on some kind of tiny. And you know what? Cuffa.
She's in the woods. Gotta be in the woods. If she's still alive. I don't think she died.
Oh, my God. Maybe she's kissing on what are the Woods Boys called? The Gang.
The Boy Scout gang?
There was so many gangs.
This show.
This show.
Well, so now here's my question.
Okay.
So what ends up happening with Nick St.
fucking Claire is Tony, oh my God.
I just, I love Tony so much because the serpent never sheds its fucking skin.
And what does Tony do?
Tony fucking drugs the motherfucker.
Ties him up, brings in our new tickle boys.
We got tickle boys Kevin and fangs.
to come in so they tie him up.
They make a tickle video that they're all going to make money off of.
And now they've got this to hold against him,
which is if you've seen the tickled documentary,
pretty much what they already did in real life
with a bunch of very unsuspecting men that needed money.
So the tickle documentary is very upsetting.
And then watching it again, it kind of brought it up a little bit.
But I was like, but Jackie, he's bad.
You don't have to feel bad for him.
But it is a little, I mean, is it.
Gandhi that says an eye for an eye mixed all world blind. But you know, we're not, it is still
some sort of, I mean, I guess it's not sexual assault. It's just like emotional assault. Like,
it's like, it's a consent assault. Like, I don't even know what that is. I was struggling with
this too, because I had absolutely zero reservations about the season two plotline about
Nick Sinclair of like getting, you know, violent revenge on a date rapist. Bring it more, more power to
him. There was something about this where it was like, Riverdale tried to be like, well, let's
have it be revenge porn, but instead of it being porn, it'll be a tickle video. So it's not actually
as bad as them like having revenge porn on Nick St. Clair. They just have a video of him getting
tickled. And I guess that's okay, but I'm not sure if it's okay. I think it might not be okay.
But it's still in the same lines that in real life, people's lives were destroyed because of the
tapes that were made. Uh-huh. Right. So that, yeah. I don't mean to be on my little box here because
I know I'm not usually, but I still was like, I mean.
he's awful and get him the fuck out of Riverdale,
but like, uh,
they already like, did they like break his legs or something?
Like, what did Archie do?
They did.
Archie did him almost to death?
Yeah, Archie almost beat him to death.
Which I get, I had no problem with.
I'm fine with it.
I do.
I get it.
Please.
I get it.
Make him never come back.
I think you're right, though.
I think I was like,
I think that this is Riverdale trying to work its way around like the consent issue
and being like, yeah,
they obviously like did something that was fucked up to
to St. Clair,
but it wasn't sex.
and so it was fine, but I think you're right.
I think it's not fine.
I think that this was Riverdale trying to do something and not succeeding.
Yeah, it's still like, it's not with his consent.
I don't know.
It really weirdly kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
But at the same time, I still love my T.T.
And T.T. did it for Cheryl.
And I love their love.
So I'll fucking give it to him.
And I bet he's never going to fucking come back.
Yeah, but you'd think he wouldn't have come back after Archie broke his legs.
You'd think.
You would think, I don't know.
You know, Lord knows where the brothel is.
But we do need to jump into.
We got to talk about Jughead and his trilogy of honor that he's going up against Brett Weston Ellis.
Brett Weston Ellis.
And now I just, Molly, I don't know.
It's just, so he, if you guys remember in the last episode, that Jughead challenged Brett to a duel because of the
honor. What a jughead thing to do. Just fucking punch the guy. Just pull on it. Sorry to say this,
but just pull it Archie. You know, at least Archie just punches people. Archie does have a lot of like
formalities about honor that he also goes through. But just punch the guy. You just want to beat the
shit out of him. Just beat the shit out of him. Don't why are you getting Mr. DuPont involved?
This is the thing. Isn't Quill and Scroll supposed to be like an underground like cool society?
but it seems like the entire school is in the society
because everybody's watching the three of them,
including Mr. DuPont.
So instead of,
I thought it was going to be a duel.
In my brain,
I thought they were going to be on horses
with really big swords,
and I got very excited,
but it's not.
First they had to fence,
and then they had to bare knuckle fight,
and if that was tied,
then they had to play chess.
Yeah.
And so, of course,
Jughead lost at fencing,
because they definitely had two people that looked nothing like them in their fencing outfits,
which was very funny.
And then, which this doesn't make any sense,
the Jughead knocked Brett out with one punch,
even though Brett's a lot bigger than he is.
But I guess, you know, again, Serpent never sheds its skin.
And then in the end, what ended up happening is that they played chess.
And you know what?
Jughead threw the game.
He threw the game because he said that, you know what,
he doesn't want to be a stonewall man.
And why doesn't he want to be a Stonewall man?
Because apparently Brett is making sex tapes in the room.
So this goes back to the tapes that we saw earlier when the red light was blinking.
So Moose is here now.
He's back from the Army?
The Army.
And Moose comes back and is like, oh, yeah.
Well, Brett took a video of me banging another classmate and he held it against me.
That's why I left Stonewall PrEP.
because if you remember, Moose was at Stonewall Prep.
Right.
And so...
Am I being confusing?
I feel like I'm losing everything.
Like, I'm losing my brain over here.
It's very hot.
It's not you who's confusing.
But you're right.
Before we started recording, I said, I think that the Riverdale writers forgot a lot of what
had happened in the beginning of this season, because a lot of it is just not at all coming
back.
But you were like, well, some of it's coming back.
And you're right.
The red light in the corner of Jughead's room, perhaps videotaped.
them and their sex did come back.
Yes.
So now they've got all these sex tapes.
And then when Betty, which I'm so happy, that Betty and Alice Cooper are again a detective team.
Because Betty's been expelled from school because of the Quiz Bowl thing.
And Alice Cooper has been put on leave without pay from working at the news station.
So now what they're doing is trying to take down Brett and Stonewall prep.
So they burgled and entered twice in this episode.
I love the two of them.
And especially I wrote down this interchange of them.
And when Betty is looking through stuff in his room and she goes,
Brett is afraid of me.
Why?
And then her mother's like, apparently you cracked him open his head with a golf club.
And then she's like, oh, right, I did do that.
Which I completely forgot about that with the bunny masks when she hit him over the fucking head with the golf club.
That was. Yeah, I had forgotten about that too.
But yeah, I couldn't agree more.
I love Alice and Betty as a team.
I love it. I love how that they, like, hated each other like four episodes ago.
And they should, by all accounts, hate each other now because it's totally Alice's fault that Betty is in this conundrum.
But instead, Alice is just helping her break into the rooms of fellow children.
It is terrific.
It's amazing to try and take them down.
So they find the sex tapes, but they also found the conundrum.
confession tapes of the Quillen Scroll Society.
So remember a couple episodes ago when Jughead told the story about watching that dude get
beaten to death in front of him when he was living on the streets?
And so apparently it's all on tape.
But what they did watch was Donna's tape.
And I am very surprised that Donna is actually not just, what were we, we were calling
or something.
Denise.
Denise.
Because Denise was always around.
but like not really in any of the scenes.
And now it's a big possibility.
So we watch her do her confession
because again, another of the 20 million plot lines,
Donna had said that she had had an affair with Mr. Chipping
and Mr. Chipping was the one that threw himself
out of a window in front of them like six episodes ago.
And she said he did it because she was cheating,
she was having an affair with him.
Right.
And the video that they watched
was her confessing that she, like, word for word, the same confession she had worked on and said to Betty to try and make herself seem like a victim.
But she said the name of another teacher.
Yeah.
So we've been over here sleeping on Donna, thinking she's the world's most boring character.
Turns out she might be a professional saboteur of various male teachers at Stonewall Prep.
Why?
Why? And also she was the one that was Jugged's coach in all three of his, you know, chalices for honor.
And maybe she's been the one that's been doing all of it.
Right?
And I also really think that back to which they have to bring up at some point, does the mercer.
All right, so go with me here.
Do you think that the mercenary, like paramilitary organization,
that Uncle Daddy and Ginger Daddy work for,
do you think it has something to do with possibly the houses in Riverdale being videotaped?
Do you think that the military organization is going to be a much bigger deal than just this one plot line?
Honestly, it better because I don't have time in my life to keep track of all of these plot lines.
If we have somebody's videotaping the front doors of all of Riverdale,
That is happening for two episodes
And then now like 10 episodes later
Nothing. And now
We're gonna have this one episode about a paramilitary
Blackwater-esque organization
That is seems to have been neatly tied up by the end of the episode like
I need somebody to start connecting these threads and we need it into something
Because otherwise I'm just trying to hold it all in my hands like sand and it's and it's it's not
Turning into anything.
Charles wasn't even in this.
one. I just need them to just narrow their reach just a teeth. I need it to be a little bit simpler because if it's if the paramilitary organization is the one videotaping the doors, that's a real surprise. That's not all what I thought was going to happen. But at the same time, but then Riverdale still it's like rather than rather than tying up any of the plot like.
they just keep reintroducing more plot lines,
which now it's like, we never even looked at Donna.
I never even for a second thought about Donna.
And we've been throwing out all these other ideas of what these things could be.
And they just keep coming up with more cockamamie.
Yeah.
I honestly think that they have forgotten.
I think that they,
did they fire everybody like four episodes ago and then just start anew?
Because ever since we came back from Christmas,
nothing is even remotely continuing from what all the seeds,
that which they had sewed before.
Oh my God.
I also just realized I just wrote this down that the name that Donna says is Mr.
Cotter, like, what?
Oh, Mr. Coddle!
Like the John Travolta show, welcome back, Connor.
Who is a teacher?
Oh, my God.
Riverdale, I just, it's a lot.
It is.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
And it's off the fucking rails now.
Like, I thought it was off the rails before, but now it's,
it's really off the rails.
And I can barely keep up.
And I'm not saying I'm not into it.
But you guys hit me up.
Like, did us even talking about it?
Did this make any sense?
There's no.
And I know that the whole point of Riverdale Roundup is like us talking about is that
is that it's not ever going to really make that much sense.
But this, how could we make sense when the episodes don't,
when the source material doesn't make any sense?
We really have a mercenary plot line?
What?
started and finished in one episode?
Also, we didn't even bring up the fact that they debuted Katie Keene,
which is, you know, the crossover of the new CW show Katie Keene with Lucy Hale.
And also, it really just showed how much older Lucy Hale is than the young 20s that play
teenagers.
And she's just a couple years older, but I, it's not, I don't mean, I'm not like age-shaming her.
It's just, you could tell she had a lot of,
Botox done to look younger, I'm assuming in comparison, but it just made her look so frozen.
I was like, girl, you wouldn't look like that.
Like, you don't need it.
You're beautiful.
You're gorgeous.
You're gorgeous.
I know that it's your choice and everyone has their own choice to do those things.
But they meet up in New York because Katie Keene is a fashion designer and they are going to, you know, try on clothes for Barnard.
And then in the end, we just have to even get, we have to bring it up.
up. Now apparently Hiram Lodge has some sort of neuromuscular disease. And I'm assuming it's like an ALS and that daddy is dying, but he might not be dying. But then Hermione, who also has had too much Botox, was just like, yeah, that is dying. They're going to be dying because she couldn't move her face, Molly. Please go back and look at it again. I was like, I couldn't even pay attention to what you was saying because she couldn't move her.
face at all. That was just her being sad, Jackie. It's her being sad. Is that what it is?
And now, and now if I said, I said it and I'm saying it now and everyone hears it now,
if they fucking kill off Hiram Lodge, I'm out. I'm tapping out of Riverdale.
If they kill him off with a, with an autoimmune neuromuscular disease.
There's a logic. Neuromuscular disease. If they kill him that way instead of having Archie kill him,
You know, two years ago or whatever it's been, then yeah, come on now.
Kill him with a gun.
You got, if you're going to kill him, you just got to kill him.
But then, oh, my God, Veronica decided that she changed her name back to Lodge.
Oh.
Like, I, oh, Riverdale.
Riverdale, you can't.
Riverdale.
When you can't, when you're failing to create any sort of emotional stakes and you just.
You just pull some emotional stakes right out the ground by making a character sick.
And then it's once again, oh, too bad that Daddy tried to kill my boyfriend for like four years.
But you're sick.
I'm going to change my name back.
Daddy, don't make a federal case out of it.
It's just, okay, daddy, just for you.
I forgive you for being a sociopathic murderer.
I want to shake everybody to death.
Maybe it's just because I'm having a bad, like,
body week, but in watching it, it was just like, I'm going to break the television.
Today is the day I break the television. And, you know, I don't usually, I don't like to blame,
like, period shit on that every once in a while you watch it. And I'm just like,
fuck everybody in this. I hate it. And I don't, but I love it. And I know I love it. And womb,
uterus, don't tell me what to feel. But sometimes it does. And this week, I did want,
I wanted to shake them all to death. I mean, I don't think there's any other show that.
That is a better example of like how one's own like hormones and body chemistry can interact with because Riverdale is is a show about, you know, teen angst.
And it's just so poorly done that it makes sense, I think, that your, that your own body, uh, confusion and feelings, uh, is deeply wrapped up like a like, like a moon cycle with Riverdale.
You're right. That is exactly what it is. And sometimes you just.
up to scream. Oh my God, I forgot. I wrote this down.
Remember that Mr. Chipping
when his, when Betty and
Alice interviewed his wife,
his widow, and
she said he never had
an affair with a student,
but he did have all of those
army pamphlets in his
desk. That's what I wanted to bring up. That's
why I was thinking that maybe the military organization
has something more to
do with things. And with
the recording of things of why
that. Why and why, you know,
You know what I mean?
Let's make it an X-Files thing.
You know, maybe the military is controlling everything in Riverdale.
Let's go there.
Maybe that's where all the, like, where jingle jangle came from, where busy rocks came from.
Maybe that's where the G&G was dropped in.
You can't trust the government.
You can't trust the government.
You cannot trust the government, but we do, you know what we can trust?
Each other and our friendship.
And I love you guys so much.
Thank you for joining us on this week's Riverdale Roundup.
And you know what, as Kevin said in this episode, what the hell is happening?
This school is insane because I forgot that Kevin was like in on like the multi, in through the hallway into multiple rooms, two grown men fighting a child when Archie was fighting both of the daddies.
And he got he cut tail, man.
He got the fuck out of there.
And that wasn't even the, that wasn't even the craziest thing about Kevin's week.
No.
It wasn't the craziest thing about Kevin's week.
Jesus Christ, I can't wait to see what next week has is the store because who knows at this point?
Who possibly knows?
Remember when we were so obsessed with like, oh, it's got to have to do with all the grandparents and everything?
Where'd all that go?
Yeah, right.
No, no.
I don't know.
It's gone.
We're just, we are in fucking no man's land for plot predictions right now.
There is no point in predicting a plot of a show that veers around this wildly.
So it's freeing in a way.
It is. I feel like all my ties have been cut. I'm just along for the ride. I feel like I'm
parasailing right now. And whatever happens is going to happen and I'm going to let it happen to me.
