Starting point is 00:00:21 Roundup, everybody. The Riverdale Round Us. It's time to talk about the cold stillness of Alice Cooper. Yeah. My God, I love her. I love her so much. And I know this is fast-forwarding through way much of the episode. But when FP held her hand at that table, every, every inch, every fucking nerve within me just was set of flame.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Yeah, they went. They're all tied together now. By the end of this episode, FP and Alice and Jughead and Betty, they're all really in it together. And I think that means that FP and Alice have to finally fuck again. That's what we're all hoping for.
Starting point is 00:01:04 So let's start at the beginning. Let's start with the whole thing starts. Alice is cleaning up the body of the guy that chick. We find out Chick killed this guy. We don't know why, really. Yeah. Did they ever say specifically why Chick killed this man? Or did they just gloss over that?
Starting point is 00:01:21 No. And Chick is going to. completely weird this whole episode. Yeah, he's super weird. He has a secret, I guess. Or he's just weird. Who knows that the Riverdale writers, it could go either way. The problem is, is that I really hate his smirks.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Yeah. I find myself weirdly attracted to him. I'm sorry. Molly. I know, it's like a Randy thing. From Scream. Yeah, I can't explain it, but I think he's kind of handsome in a creepy way. creepy way, yeah, because there was a point where
Starting point is 00:01:54 they were talking about cleaning up the body and he did smirk. He smiled and smirked just a little bit. Yeah. But yeah, so they took the body and they wrapped it up in a carpet and just put it in a drain pipe that Alice Cooper used to play in when she was a little girl.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Their own carpet. That's a weird thing. I mean, they couldn't go out and buy a carpet. They had to use their own carpet. Fair, but can't, I watch a lot of forensic files. Can't you trace that? I guess you can You definitely can
Starting point is 00:02:24 So they came back And they cleaned the house With bleach And why was Betty scrubbing the apples Fingerprints She was so scared Scrubed him apples Betty is traumatized
Starting point is 00:02:37 Admittedly Betty has been through a lot In the last four months Or whatever the fucking span Yeah but at the same time If you think about it In 12 hours She number one lost her virginity Number two
Starting point is 00:02:49 Cleaned up a murder scene and dropped off a dead body? Yeah, and this is all after, this is like three weeks after having just barely evaded being killed by a serial killer and then watching her best friend be buried alive by a serial killer.
Starting point is 00:03:05 She's got a lot of trauma that she needs to work through. I think that she should be seeing somebody about it. Yes, she needs a therapist. Also, she needs a therapist because I don't know why I immediately noticed when she was cleaning up the blood and she had that pretty party dress on. Bitch shouldn't even take off her heels. so damn girl that obviously means you got some issues you at least take off your heels if you're going to clean up that much blood i mean
Starting point is 00:03:28 i like everything about that murder cleanup was just and alice cooper was just like we have no choice and there's not really so and she's just like i'm a mother and so i'm going to protect my boy and i guess that's the explanation we're given as to why she's willing to engage in you know conspiracy to cover up a murder or whatever But Betty never asked any follow-up questions. No. She never asked, like, so how did this happen? Yeah, no, as one of the recaps that I read, put it, like, Archie was uncharacteristically smart in this episode,
Starting point is 00:04:03 and Betty was uncharacteristically dumb. But at the same time, it makes me respect Betty even more. I think it makes me like her even more, and that's crazy to me. Because as someone that fucks Jughead, I should hate her completely. You respect her because she was willing to clean up the body? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, you know, and also she's going through all her shit,
Starting point is 00:04:23 and she's like, oh, just typical Cooper House lunacy. It's like, whoa, you crazy, girl. That is how she put it to Jughead when Jughead came by. It's like, so what's going on? She's like, yeah, Samo, same old, same all. Yeah, but she was saying that to cover up her hurt in her darkness. But then she immediately told her boyfriend about the murder. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Yeah. And now he's in big trouble if they ever get caught. Yeah, now he's in big trouble, and Halves, he's on the trail. And by the way, Hal comes like, I'm just here to pick up toiletries. It's like, Hal, you just go to the store. Go to the store. Yeah, hell, but that's, I think Hal is, yeah, he's sniffing. He's on the, yeah, he's on something.
Starting point is 00:05:03 But don't you find it weird, too, that every time they cut back to Chick and Alice Cooper, they're just like eating pancakes or when she came in and it's like, we just covered up a dead body. They're like playing clue. Yeah, they were playing clue. And the clue game, the clue board game was. not a clue board game. They were like, we're playing Clue, and it didn't look anything
Starting point is 00:05:24 like Clue. Well, yeah, just like Hal's going to stay at a share B&B. Uh-huh. Except he's not. He's getting Penelopey fucking blossom as Cher B&B and her pussy out all over the place, dude. Yeah, we gotta get to that. Now Cheryl's
Starting point is 00:05:40 back, Cheryl's stirring up the fucking pot. Because, yeah, Cheryl, and I gotta say, fucking Cheryl, as an archer, so fucking high. Yeah. It's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. And so Cheryl, she's going on through all kinds of shit.
Starting point is 00:05:53 And now Cheryl told Betty about, and that's the other thing that Betty's also going through is Betty's finding out that her dad is having an affair with, I guess. So, okay, so. Aren't they family members? I think they are. Holy shit. Yeah, that's what I was just thinking. Yeah. They're cousins.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Yeah. Yeah, because it was his parent, I think, or granddaddy, great granddaddy Cooper. Yeah. Not great granddad. Alice's maiden name. So it was his great granddaddy or Mammy or whatever. And then great-grandparent Blossom
Starting point is 00:06:26 was the one. So I think that they, well, I guess maybe then they're not cousins because maybe it was her husband's blood relatives. It was her husband's blood relative. That's what it was. Yes. They're not cousins. But he's still banging in his cousin's wife. Yeah, definitely cousins by marriage.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Yeah. And Penelope Blossom is definitely, quote, destroying families with your cordisun ways which was hilarious by the way Cheryl Blossom and Cheryl as predicted I think you Mark is predicted
Starting point is 00:06:56 that Cheryl was going to come in and stir shit up as she does and she decided to you know quote unquote comfort Betty while Betty was puking from her unresolved trauma and Betty was puking and then Cheryl went in and was like
Starting point is 00:07:10 oh Betty are you okay and then she didn't at that moment decide to tell her but she was like, oh, this is tearing Betty apart. And then she went and yelled at her mom. And then she later on just for vengeance or spite or just on a whim decided to tell Betty. Yeah, I'm not sure why either. But yeah, Penelope's like, he's not a client.
Starting point is 00:07:30 It's real. It's real. Ew. Also, Hal is disgusting. Yes, he is. He's the crazy guy from Dead Man on campus. That's all I can think when I watch that show. Oh, interesting.
Starting point is 00:07:42 See, all I can think is he is the least attractive person and the intent. higher town of Riverdale. By far, too. It's just like, why, how did he even get in the show? He's not hot enough to be in the show. It's not like he's an amazing actor, and that's why they chose him. No, everyone on the show is attractive, except for Hal. Yeah, and his only demeanor is eternally perturbed.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Yeah, right. And it's about time that they tell us what's going on with him and Chick. Is he the father or not? They've been building the storyline up, and I'm afraid they're going to forget about it because I don't trust them anymore, but I really want them to resolve it. I really want to know if FP is the father. And also, I got to, I mean, Betty, when she's trying to salt, like, all of the conversations about the murder all happened in Pops, in a public diner, like, with open air seats, you know, with, like, booths. And she's calling people, and she got the phone from the guy that her brother killed.
Starting point is 00:08:36 She got the phone, and she's calling everyone in his phone book in public. And then after FP helps to dispose of the body, after FP buries the body, in his serpent's jacket, by the way, in his easily identifiable serpent's jacket. Also, FP was like, I can't do this again with what I did with Jason Blossom. And then he just did the exact same thing again. He was like, it was too hard for me to dispose of a body before. And then the next scene is them of disposing of a body. Well, no, I think what he was talking about with, I can't, I'm not going to make the same mistake,
Starting point is 00:09:10 is that with Jason Blossom, they just dumped him out. You know, and they found the body because they just took him out into the woods and just left him there. Oh, that was the mistake he was talking about. Not killing someone or being a party to kill him. Not being a party to killing someone because they, and Alice did the same thing. It's like we're just going to lay him in a pipe instead of burying him out there, which would have been the much smarter decision. And they did they put some sort of chemical on him?
Starting point is 00:09:33 Lime. That was lime. Yeah, yeah, that was lime. And then they all got together at pops. and they loudly discussed the body disposal that FP had just participated in, and now they're all in it together. And this is how FP and Alice get together. This is how they get back together.
Starting point is 00:09:53 They're bonded by murder. Oh, my God, I can't wait to watch them. At the same time, you know, if you're going to have a huge mafioso party at Pops, you may as well talk about a murder that just happened at Pops, right? So many different law enforcement agencies, if they were smart, would already have Pops' butt. You know, local law enforcement. I keep wanting to call him Hopper, but he's not. Who's the actual sheriff?
Starting point is 00:10:20 Sheriff McCoy. No, no, no, no. That's the mayor, Sheriff Keller. Keller, not Hopper. I've completely conflated the two sheriffs from Stranger Things in Riverdale. But, yeah, Keller should be bugging pops. And if it turned out if it was actually the FBI, they should have been bugging it too. But that was a whole other development.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Yeah, well, I mean, Sheriff Keller, he has his hands full with banging Mayor McCoy, which the lodges were going to take full advantage of and use blackmail. But Veronica got in the middle of all that. And now Mayor McCoy has resigned doing that weird thing when she resigns and then brings her child, family member into the picture with her. Because Josie is, this whole season, Josie has been nothing but a prop. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:05 It's true. And I'm annoyed because I like Josie, and I like the plot lines that she had before. She's just become like a weak prop, a put-upon character. Yeah, she's always crying. Not to get toilet flushed here, guys, but do you find it weird that was called Operation Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? Isn't that a little much? You know what? I hadn't thought about it.
Starting point is 00:11:34 that because I was going to bring up Operation Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, but I think they missed the point of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Because the point of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was that, you know, Sidney Portier was the boyfriend of this girl. Like, it was an interracial relationship. Uh-huh. And Sydney Poitier was the boyfriend and guest who's coming to dinner was about this girl's family accepting Sidney Poitier, about her being in an interracial relationship. But that just, did they just mean the black people are coming to eat with us? No, I think what it was is that I think that they were describing Mayor McCoy and Sheriff Keller's relationship. Oh.
Starting point is 00:12:15 No. Oh, Riverdale. Oh, you just got actually bad. Right? That has to be what it means. Oh, God. I think they were just trying to be clever because you know how they love their movie references. They do.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Yeah, like, for example, not saying the verbs, bittersweet symphony is saying, you know, from the Cruel Intention soundtrack, and all of the episodes are titled after movies and all that. I think they just tried to put in a movie reference there and kind of miss the mark. Oh, it's rough, dude. I think it might be a little rough, dude.
Starting point is 00:12:55 I think that's rough. That and when Veronica mentions, like, what did you say? It's like a Martin Scorsese nightmare, but she says it in like a Spanish, it's like, is it Martin Scorsese, Knight? It's like, just say Scorsese. Everybody says Scorsese, okay?
Starting point is 00:13:11 Yeah, I'm still, last week I expressed it, and I feel like I'm still very confused about Veronica's true motivations. Like, Veronica's just, she's the one character in the show right now that's just a total mess. Yeah. They lost the plot on Veronica.
Starting point is 00:13:25 They lost the whole thread on that character. I don't think they tried doing something with her, and it's just not quite working. She just does whatever they need her to do. You know what I mean? mean? Yeah, yeah. There's no consistency.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Until she disrupts, Operation, guess who's coming to dinner. I didn't even really truly understand why she had some sort of weird alliance with the mayor who, like, has never been nice to her. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:47 And in fact, the mayor has been nothing but awful to her. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So, which makes me think that she has another motivation that's going to come out if they might choose this subplot to continue.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Sometimes down the line. Well, also, I mean, but it also could be, it seemed as if, Well, I think the reason why Veronica did it, but I thought the reason behind it was she wanted to save Kevin the embarrassment. Because remember, Sheriff Keller is Kevin's father, and I think she was trying to protect her friends. Josie, because she does, even though her and Josie had, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:20 kind of an on again, off again, a relationship here, I think it was more about Veronica protecting her friends, and that's another conflict. But I don't think they're illustrating it well. I think they're being a little too subtle with it. You're being very generous with them. writing there. That was not there in the text
Starting point is 00:14:37 at all, but in the subtext, perhaps. Well, I think they, I think they did say, like, when she was, like, Sheriff Keller, Kevin's father. I think she did say that to let us kind of, to give us a little bit of a, but there also
Starting point is 00:14:53 could have been, like, a subplot of them, like, talking to Kevin a little bit, like, maybe trying to talk, maybe trying to talk to him. Because Kevin, I always wonder, how does Kevin feel about the fact that his dad is the cop? And, like, because he's always like, guys, my dad, because usually his dad's been trying to find a serial killer. And so usually everyone's like, all right, your dad's fine.
Starting point is 00:15:09 But also your dad's at the cop, and he's kind of a buzz kill, you know, and I feel like that must be kind of hard for Kevin. They talked about it a little bit in the first season. I think Kevin's fine. Kevin stands by his dad. Yeah, because his dad's a good dad. Yeah. And then there's the whole Jughead situation, which, okay, number one.
Starting point is 00:15:26 So it turns out Jughead is the one that sent the head to Hiram Lodge. but why did Jughead have the head? Why would you give the head to a 16-year-old? Maybe FP had it. Maybe FP had it and Jughead took it. FP did have it because FP, remember, FP came in the trailer. He's like, where's the head?
Starting point is 00:15:49 Uh-huh. Yeah, so FP was left in charge of the head and Jughead took the whole thing into his own hands. And then FP was like, you're getting in over your head, boy. He said something like that that was real ominous. He's so sexy when. he's mad. I love it when he's mad. Yeah, he's, you know, put him in a paper hat, he's sexy, get him maddy's sexy, watch him get rid of a body while he's wearing his definitely, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:11 his serpent jacket that could definitely get linked back to him. Sexy. All sexy. It's true. I continue to be confused by how incredibly attracted I am to Skeelwreck. Oh my God, I just, oh, but also it's like, I mean, both Hirams are just so, so hot. I mean, the parents are really starting to take the cake on who's hottest here. Yeah, I'm definitely finding myself increasingly attracted to Hiram and also, yeah, Hermione looks great too. Hermione, she had an air about her
Starting point is 00:16:40 at the end of the Archie plotline this episode, which we got to get into that now. Yeah, we gotta talk about this fucking archipel. Turns out, okay, just first of all, turns out the FBI agent's name is actually A. Adams. It's Arthur Adams. At least the name that the FBI
Starting point is 00:16:57 agent told Archie his name was, because he was not an FBI agent at all, but rather a man one of Hermione's Capos who is testing Archie to see if Archie should be brought into
Starting point is 00:17:13 the Lodge family. Which is a nice twist and a convenient way to make up for the fact that that whole plot line made no sense from the beginning. All awash now. The fact that like just even up top, when you're trying to have a secret conversation, right, and then you knock over the drum.
Starting point is 00:17:30 It's like you're making a bunch of noise. And then, yeah, let's have another really upsetting conversation while we're in a park, playing fetch with a dog. These people have such sensitive conversation. Like when Betty was talking to Jughead about the body, she just brought him into the chemistry lab and was yelling about it in the chemistry lab. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:52 There is not a lot of opsec going on in Riverdale. That or Betty and Jughead in front of her house talking about, killing a person and then when the when the traffic cop came over like what about that car and they're like oh it's mine which why would you say it's yours you say that you don't know anything about the car and then it goes how fast can you hot wire a car and betty knows how to hot wear a car because there was that one scene in the first season when she's hanging out with her dad and he's fixing a car and she's like dad i like hanging out with you and fixing cars uh okay because i was going to ask where the fuck did betty cooper learn how to hotwire her car her dad even the Because apparently watching your dad fixed cars the same as being able to hot wire one in under two minutes when the cop is coming back. I also want to go back to the FBI agent harassing Archie's dad and harassing him about undocumented labor from Canada. From Canada. Yes, that was a nice. That was a nice move. It's like nice dodge there, Riverdale. Nice way to dodge. Oh, I was employing some undocumented workers from Canada.
Starting point is 00:18:58 We got some Sadloos Perry, though. You can't make fun of guess who's coming to dinner and migrant workers from Mexico in the same episode. I think that might be too much. And Verona, speaking, they're really hitting Canada hard, you know, with the Papa Putin. And also, like, the whole Veronica thing, like, you can't have a Tinder moment with your father. And you're like, Dad, did you have anything to do with Papa Putin? And then she's just like, okay, I totally believe you. Even though, I don't know, are we supposed to believe him?
Starting point is 00:19:29 I don't know. Do he think he's telling the truth Would he lie to his daughter? Probably. But I think it's telling him because in the same episode she also lied to him. I think that he knew
Starting point is 00:19:39 that she knew that he was lying and then he knew that she was lying and she knew that he knew when that happened and I think now it's just like at an impasse.
Starting point is 00:19:51 What did she lie to him about? About telling Mayor McCoy about giving her the heads up. Okay, yep. So that's what I think is really what was going on with that. I think that was just like two, you know, criminal mother or criminal father-daughter conversations. I think that's just what they do.
Starting point is 00:20:07 So what is Archie's, so Archie obviously passed the test with a fake FBI agent. Welcome to the family, Archie. But what was Archie's game? Is Archie? Because Veronica, again, is all like, oh, Archie, you're so innocent. I don't want to drag you into my murderous family. But also, I still want to date you. And Archie's like, yeah, Veronica, I get it.
Starting point is 00:20:27 I understand. I get that your father's a mobster But like what is is he trying to just protect himself Is he trying to actually become a mobster with Hiram Lodge? Like what is what does he want? What do you think Jackie? I think that I I think that he just kind of got in over his head
Starting point is 00:20:44 He doesn't really realize what's happening But I feel like once you're into a family like that Like now they have to get married right Yeah I think that's what they're kind of I think that's what they're shooting for I think they're shooting for like getting the kid young Like and bringing him up instead of like, you know, meeting the, because like, imagine you're, like, I don't know, mid-20s, mid-to-late 20s and finding out that the girl is involved in, or the guy is involved in an organized crime family.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Oh, you love that. But if you get a guy when he's 16 and you bring him in and you make him complicit from the beginning. Especially a guy as stupid as Archie. A guy is stupid as Archie. But Archie's very, he's very honest. I think what it is, Archie likes it. It seems like he very much enjoys this whole thing. Yeah, because he wants to be a little bad boy.
Starting point is 00:21:33 And I think what could happen, you know, I mean, we're looking like way far in the future. You know, Archie, he goes to college, he goes to business school, he learns the tricks of the trade. He comes back to Riverdale, helps run his dad's business. And then what you got is you got Veronica running the lodge business. You got Archie running the construction business, husband and wife team, taking over Riverdale. Ooh, I love that idea. But that's, you know, season 10. Yeah, it's not going, it's, there's no way they're going to do that.
Starting point is 00:22:05 By then, none of this will matter anymore. So it's all going to be a wash, you know? So we've got like two seasons in one school year, right? Yeah, one school year, which is smart because you don't want to have like a saved-by-the-bell-new class situation. Exactly. And I wonder, oh, do you think they're going to do like a summer? Or do you think they're going to do that thing where, uh, that they always do in every, like, school show? where they just skip over summer and it comes back in the fall.
Starting point is 00:22:30 So what do you do on your summer vacation? I think it's definitely what's going to happen. I hope they do a summer, like, say, by the bell the beach years, the beach episodes, you know. But my real question is, do you think this is tying back to the Betty puking thing? This is what I was thinking at the end of this is that is she pregnant? From that one sex? No, they had sex the night before. Yeah. You never know.
Starting point is 00:22:54 In Riverdale time? I think that it would make sense. And all of a sudden, she's like, I'm immediately throwing up, I've got to be pregnant. If she's pregnant with his child, can you, do you think that you could feasibly fuck the son of the father that is going to fuck your mother eventually? How would you feel about that? Oh, yeah, that's fine. That happens. That's like Cher and Josh and clueless.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I guess, but he was a stepbrother, though. So I feel like that's separate. But that's what I'm saying. It's not like Betty and Jughead are related, even if their parents start fucking. I just want to watch it all.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Well, have we got anything else we want to cover on this episode? The only thing I just want to make a quick comment about is how many red circles Jughead draws on maps for absolutely no reason. Did anyone else know it? And two separate scenes He's just like, well, this is here And this is here
Starting point is 00:24:00 And then drawing lines between it It's like, dude, you know where everything is You've lived here your entire life Right, and the maps are always like South side North side South side Not having as many resources as the North side
Starting point is 00:24:14 And he's got this like complex series of maps Like that meme where the person's doing all the calculations In her head It just makes me think of But it looks like they're old school It's like they're like Marauders maps. Like I don't understand why there's such vintage, weird, old-timey maps. Because I think I also noticed in Archie's house that his TV is that of like a 1960s television set.
Starting point is 00:24:38 So are they trying to do like the weird, like it's still the Archie comics? Like it is kind of in like the 50s, 60s. Is that something that's happening? I don't know. I wouldn't put it past them. Yeah, but it's still, Jughead still has an iPhone. Yeah, I mean, it's definitely the present day, but I wouldn't put it past him for them to be like, also, it's the 60s.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Well, I mean, they've all got like the, you know, like 60 or 50s greaser jackets. I mean, that's exactly what the river. That's what the South Side Serpents are. Yeah. Like, they're an old school, like, greaser gang. Yeah, and Archie's got his letterman jacket and whatnot. So I think they make, you know, allusions to that, to that time period, to that aesthetic. I think that that's okay.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Yeah, Betty's got her ponytail. Yeah, they're trying to, they got one foot in the past. Yeah, she's always wearing those. Yeah. But then there's Cheryl Blossom who looks like a hooker every second. Well, that was also kind of in the comics. Like, Cheryl was always the, she was always the sexy one in the Archie universe. Really? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:25:37 As she was tossing and turning in her canopy sleigh bed. Which also was weird. Remember when she said that to bed? I remember when she said that I was tossing and turning all night in my canopy sleigh bed. Okay. That's the lines I love from Cheryl. But I heard that lot, I was like, Shill, you're better than that.
Starting point is 00:25:55 You're better than bragging. You're better. I know you're better. God damn. But now I think it's a few weeks until the next one. Oh, no, you're kidding. Yeah. Yeah, it makes...
Starting point is 00:26:06 Yeah, March 7th. That's the next one. There's not one tonight? No, it's three weeks until the next one. Jesus. Yeah. So it'll be three more weeks until Riverdale... I mean, do we have any predictions for what's going to happen?
Starting point is 00:26:18 It's so hard to guess. I don't know. I mean, the only prediction we've got right so far is Cheryl stirs up trouble, which is a pretty safe prediction. No, you were right about that the south side serpents would be blamed for the head. Yeah, and I was right that it was a false flag,
Starting point is 00:26:42 but not the kind of false flag that I thought it would be. Yeah. That it was from the serpents. I didn't say that it was the serpents. I thought it was a Reggie plot. I will say that I think that something I can predict is that Chicks got a secret. I don't know what the secret is. We also didn't cover that at the end of the episode,
Starting point is 00:27:02 Chick was cutting Hal out of every family picture. Yes. That was really weird. He's so weird. Molly, of course you have a fucking crush on him. I think he's going to kill Hal. Yeah. That's what I think.
Starting point is 00:27:20 At least he's going to try to kill Howl. But then that's the other thing, too. That means that chick is going to get, if chick goes after Hal, that means that chick is going to be all tangled up with the blossoms. That's true. Yeah, because now Penelope Blossom is in real love with Howe. And How's also think. Live in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:41 And I also wonder if when Betty was making all those phone calls with the guy, the dead guy's phone, is ridiculous. You don't go back to check on a body. With that one call, with the woman was like, oh, are you that bitch that he was with? I think that if they're going to choose this to go after, that that woman's going to come looking for the guy. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Yeah. That is definitely Riverdale style where they've got, they definitely plant that seed. And then, yeah, I think that person is going to come looking. And I'm willing to bet he lives in Greendale. Yeah, I was going to say, they're not, the chick is like, there's like, They've created this new population of shady people who aren't from the south side. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:23 So they come from Greendale, I think. Was the hostel in the south side where chick was living? A good question. Or was that in Greendale? I think it was in Greendale. Yeah. And Greendale's a whole other thing because Greendale's where Sabrina the teenage witch lives. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:28:38 And where they banished that very bad teacher who has sex with her students. That's right. And also like, and we also didn't even talk last week about like tall boy being banished. And say, what did FP do? Just drive them to the city limits and just drop them off? I think that it's just the code of the serpents. He was like, all right, I violated the code. I'm going to honor this myself.
Starting point is 00:28:59 No violence necessary. He just walks into the sunset like the Incredible Hulk. What does he do? Just let him go. He'll never find his way back. Don't worry about it. Yeah, like a stray dog. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Well, I guess we'll be back with, of course, we'll keep doing page seven every week. But I guess Riverdale Roundup. isn't going to be coming back until like March 14th. So about a month, it'll be a whole month before we do another Riverdale Roundup. It's very sad. No, I hate it too. But, you know, and the other thing, too, that we got to look forward to is that hire them is at odds completely with FP and Jughead.
Starting point is 00:29:40 They did not take the bait. They said no deal to hire them paying the rent of everyone in, was it Sunnydale trailer park? Yeah, they said no. And so now it's now FP FP chose his son's high school reporting career The high school newspaper That reporting career over everyone
Starting point is 00:30:06 In the trailer part getting free rent I don't That was another favorite quote of mine when he's like What do you want from this Hiram? And Hiram just yelled Peace in the land! That sounds an awful lot like a bribe, Mr. Lodge. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Don't listen to him. I want to fuck him. I don't want to listen to him. Jugghead is definitely on a slippery slope towards insufferable. Yeah. And, you know, F.P needs to, he needs to listen to his own advice, like last episode when he yelled at him, you will be the death of us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:44 He was right. Yeah, he was right. Because Jugghead makes nothing but bad decisions. Yeah. Yeah. They're all teenagers. The adults listen to the teenagers too much. Give the teenagers some space to be teens.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Stop seeking them out for your mayoral decisions and your, you know, inter-community gang-related decisions and just let the teens and your organized crime decisions, the teens are too involved. We love high-stakes institutions. Let the teens be teens. Oh, my God, I love it so much. I'm going to miss it so much.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Me too. We'll fill the time with other things. We fill the void. We shall, possibly by restarting the entire thing over again. Because I started thinking about the first. I was like, man, you remember how you felt when you were watching Riverdale for the first time on that plane from Los Angeles and how much fun you were having? Why don't you have some more fun? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:37 I think I'm going to watch it again. We can do that. I think I have too. Yes, let's watch it again. Yeah. Maybe we can get to know the characters a little bit better, possibly even better than the writers. All right. Goodbye everyone.
Starting point is 00:31:53 We'll see you in a month. Bye. Bye.
