Riverdale's Seven-Year Time Jump

 

Spoiler alert: to anyone who hasn't watched last night's episode yet! Do not read!!

The episode takes place seven years after graduation. 


Archie went into the army and got injured in the battlefield. Now, he comes home to find out Riverdale is different in a very bad way. 


Veronica is a successful business woman 💪 💰 in New York but her Wall-Streeter husband, Chad, is a controlling, weak-minded jerk 😠 , (yeah, I said it). He's trying to pressure her into having a baby. 😡 Hey Chad, it's the 21st century, women aren't just baby-makers! Archie called her to Riverdale just in time. 👍


 
Betty is a badass FBI agent! 💪🤩 After being captured by a serial killer for two weeks, she's haunted by the case. Her boss and boyfriend, Glenn, put her on desk duty in the Cold Case Unit because of it. I can't put my finger on it but something is off about their relationship. 😒 It's as though she's only pretending to like him. Also, IT'S WEIRD TO SEE HER KISSING A GUY THAT ISN'T JUGHEAD! 😳 She seems so happy when Archie calls. 😀





Jughead is a published author, living in New York. His first book was very successful but now, it's been years and he's having extreme writer's block (I know Jug, that sucks, lol). When Archie calls, he's having a bad day. He's getting evicted, his live-in girlfriend, Jessica, is leaving him, debt collectors are looking for him, and he's being blackmailed by a girl that he met at the bar. This crazy girl wants him to read her book or she'll call the debt collectors. I think that Archie calls just at the right time. Also, I do miss the beanie but Jug looks so good with his sexy, studious, gruff aesthetic. The glasses, the facial hair, the new tattoo; I love it! 🤩 Oh, for the love of Peter Pan, if Betty and Jughead don't get back together, I'd take him! 😍🤤 



Cheryl's story is just heartbreaking. 😢💔 She has rebuilt her family business and it's a success again but she never leaves the house. She just spends time with her grandma and paints. No one has seen her in town for years. She's basically the Boo Radley of Riverdale, just more glamorous. She still loves Toni but acts aloof towards her. Cheryl thinks that she's cursed to be forever alone. 😟 


Toni is finally the queen of the Southside Serpents 🐍💪 but she's also the counselor at Riverdale High and does other social work. 😁👍 She's pregnant 🤰👼 but I don't think that the sperm donor is a nice guy. She cares about the people of the town as well 🤗 . She shows Archie how the town has gone to the dumps. Crime is high and the poor is voiceless. Hiram is the mayor and gives the town's money to a bigger city.  

Archie and the gang come together to figure out a plan. They have to save the town before it's too late. Hiram can't win.


Smooches and think Tink!  🧚
