Thank God, we're back to something good. Betty manages to steal her father's planner and sees that all the Black Hood murder dates align with it. Betty recruits Queen Cheryl to help her sift through the evidence when she gets a call from the morgue, saying she has to come down there to identify a "warm corpse." She thinks it's Chic, but it's not. The whole ordeal, though, shakes Betty to her core.
Across town, Jughead's pissed because the new sheriff won't hand over the footage he gave him that shows Fangs in Midge Klump's dressing room right before she was killed. It makes Fangs look guilty, which hurts the Serpents' image, ergo bolstering the Lodge's agenda—which is exactly what Jughead doesn't want. What I want, though, is to focus solely on Cheryl and Betty's plot line, but that's not going to happen.
This is sort of interesting, though. The Black Hood leaves a note on Fred Andrews' door saying he's a "sinner" and "next" on his kill list. The Lodges want to cancel the debate because of this, but Fred isn't cowering down because, apparently, chest-puffing runs in the Andrews family.
Pivot to Betty, who tells her parents everything: that she gave Chic over to the Black Hood and that's it's partially her fault if he's dead. She says she has a "darkness" inside of her, and Hal responds by weirdly saying he also has a similar "darkness." OMG, he's so the Black Hood. Hal Effing Cooper!
THE CW
The new Sheriff, however, thinks it's Fangs, because that video of him with Midge Klump leaked—so he arrests him. Archie's back to waiting by his front door at night with a baseball bat like a boy playing cops and robbers. The Dark Circle vandalizes a Serpent bar to "celebrate" Fangs' arrest, which is honestly just so much raging masculinity that it makes me want to vom. Archie reprimands them, but they're unapologetic. Reggie then spills to Archie that Hiram's paying the other Dark Circle members, and he told Reggie the organization is "his now." Oof. Mark Consuelous is up to no good, as per usual!
