I loved this episode. It was wonderfully campy a la Riverdale, but also emotionally grounded and powerful. I loved seeing friend and relationship dynamics explored and tested, as well as finally giving Cheryl, Toni, Moose, Kevin, and Midge some overdue screen-time. I was beyond happy to have Cheryl confide her secret in Toni. Finally, so much about her character makes sense.
I love how Riverdale is establishing increasingly high stakes this season, showing us how Archie is falling in deeper and deeper with the Lodges, the extent of which is unbeknownst even to Veronica. This entire Archie/Hiram plot is brilliant and perfect for a campy, tense, and soapy show like Riverdale.
