When is the Riverdale season 3 finale on? Read the "chilling" synopsis here By Katie Louise Smith When does Riverdale season 3, episode 22 air? Here's everything we know so far about what happens in the Riverdale season 3 finale... It's about that time! There's only ONE episode of Riverdale season 3 left and it's all getting a bit much. People are in danger and no one is safe, but then again, isn't that every episode of Riverdale? We are still in the midst of the sinister Farm storyline at the hands of Edgar and Evelyn Evernever featuring Cheryl, Alice, Kevin, Fangs, Toni (who has just managed to escape) and now Betty. Following the departure of Gladys Jones, the drug trade will have hopefully subsided, but the Gargoyle King has returned. Hiram Lodge is now in jail, the Black Hood has returned and um, Jason Blossom might be alive... Riverdale season 4: news, spoilers, release date, cast, trailers and everything you need to know But what lies ahead in 3x22, the final episode? As always, the cast have been sharing behind-the-scenes pics and videos (read: spoilers) from the set that could clue us in to what's about to go down. Here's everything we know about the Riverdale season 3 finale so far... Riverdale season 3 finale: when does it air? Picture: The CW When is the Riverdale season 3 finale on? The Riverdale season 3 finale (3x22) will air on: Wednesday May 15th. The episode will be called 'Apocalypto' (although some sources are saying it's titled 'Survive The Night'.) If you’re in the UK, the episode will be available on Netflix at 8am on Thursday May 16th. What time is the Riverdale season 3 finale on? As always, the episode will air at 8/7c on ABC. Where can I watch the Riverdale season 3 finale? You can watch the Riverdale finale live on The CW or on the The CW app. If you're in the UK, you can watch it on Netflix just a couple of hours after each episode premieres in the US. New episodes usually drop at 8am GMT. What will happen in the Riverdale season 3 finale episode? The official synopsis for the episode reads: "THE FINAL QUEST — After receiving mysterious invitations, Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead band together to confront the evils of their past once and for all. Meanwhile, chaos ensues at The Farm after Edgar makes a chilling announcement." Seeing as there’s still a few more episodes to go until the season finale, a lot could change. And a lot will change but the two main storylines for the finale appear to be... 1) The Gargoyle King mystery: As of episode 19, it becomes clear that there is another Gargoyle King. In episode 21, Ethel tells Jughead that Jason Blossom is the Gargoyle King, which is of course impossible... because he's been dead this whole time. (More on that here.) In the final episode, the core four end up in a final showdown with the Gargoyle King but who is he? (It could be Chic...) 2) The Farm's "chilling" announcement: Alice, Cheryl, Kevin and Fangs - along with other characters like Principal Weatherbee and Midge’s mum - have all been sucked in to the Farm. Toni has now escaped from The Farm with Cheryl's help and Betty is also leading an escape plan. But what could Edgar's chilling announcement be? In the trailer, he mentions that it's time to "ascend" so does that mean... Mass kool aid drinking? IT BETTER NOT BE! Here's all the behind-the-scenes pictures from the cast: Mädchen Amick's Instagram posts and stories from the final days on set indicate that The Farm is still well and truly on its bullshit. The group were filming at Farm HQ (the old Sisters of Quiet Mercy building) and the pictures seem to confirm that Alice, Cheryl, Kevin and Fangs are still at the Farm with Evelyn and Edgar. Madelaine Petsch has also featured in a bunch of behind-the-scenes pictures posted by Vanessa Morgan. She's still wearing the same blue sweater and red trouser combo and in one particular shot, her trousers are incredibly muddy. WE GOING ✈️ FARM ESCAPE! ? If you look closely at the first picture, you'll also notice Toni wearing gloves similar to Cheryl's archery gloves... and a bunch of arrows in the back of the truck. Madelaine is also wearing this same blue sweater in episode 21, which means the penultimate episode will likely roll over into episode 22. In episode 21, the Farm crew can be seen at a function at Farm HQ. cheryl's wearing that turtleneck in 3x19 and until the finale,,,,and her pants are dirty in the finale and toni has her arrows with her - what if they actually kidnap her ???? pic.twitter.com/dp4K7JgXyP — kenzie (@cherylsIight) April 26, 2019 Even more evidence that seems to back the farm escape conspiracy theory is the fact that the Pretty Poisons and the Serpents have been out in the woods together. Uniting to save both Fangs and Cheryl (and Alice and Kevin by extention) from the Farm? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT! In Madelaine's 'Last Day of Riverdale season 3' vlog, she can be seen filming at Thistlehouse (3m48s) with Vanessa Morgan, Barbara Wallace (Nana Rose) and Bernadette Beck, who plays Peaches n' Cream (4m 30). She also says that they did a lot of filming with the babies for the final episode (2m28s), suggesting that Polly's twins make an appearance in the finale. In an Instagram story with Mädchen, it also seems like Alice has a few scenes with the twins too. Seeing as Penelope currently has Dagwood, and Juniper is still at the Farm with Polly... who knows what's going on here. Either way, legends Juniper and Dagwood are back. In other news, the core four look like they're set to be reunited. KJ Apa shared this picture of the gang - with Lili Reinhart wearing a suspiciously similar outfit to the one Betty was wearing the very first episode of the season. Fans have speculated that the show could be doing a flashback or revealing that it was all a fever dream BUT, on closer inspection, it's definitely not the same. 3x01 was a denim dress with thin straps and in this pic, you can clearly see the dungaree clips. Theory: Debunked? ! The cast also appear to be shooting quite a few night scenes for the finale episode. And you know what that means... TERRIBLE LIGHTING. Anyway, Camila Mendes shared a picture of KJ Apa dressed up in a suit on her Instagram story. KJ has also shared pics of him in the same outfit with considerably wetter hair. Don't know what's going on here but... there's two pictures of KJ so don't complain. Lochlyn Munro, who plays serial killer, world's worst dad and terrible terrible husband Hal Cooper, is also set to return by the looks of things. In episode 19, it was revealed that the bus tranferring him to Hiram Lodge's prison had crashed and there were allegedly no survivors. Looks like that was a LIE. Shared in a video by KJ Apa, Lochlyn was pictured in casual clothing which means... he's totally out of jail. Riverdale's resident brothel madam Penelope Blossom will also feature in the finale episode. On April 10th, Nathalie Boltt and Vanessa Morgan were filming scenes together... but why? To discuss Cheryl's whereabouts, perhaps? Who knows? But whatever the convo between Penelope and Toni is about... I'm already scared. In case you're wondering, FP Jones is still Sheriff and still looking like a SNACC in the finale episode too. You'll be thrilled to know that it looks like his role in the robbery of Pop's during Jellybean's kidnap hasn't affected his job. AMEN! THANK GOD! MORE UNIFORM! YES!<doc-sep>Is Jason Blossom the Gargoyle King on Riverdale? Three main theories explained By Katie Louise Smith Jughead finally learned the identity of the Gargoyle King on Riverdale but the big reveal is *literally* impossible... because as far as we know, Jason has been dead since episode 1. After a season long mystery, several attacks, multiple murders, two un-maskings and one very long and confusing game of Gryphons and Gargoyles, Riverdale finally (again?) revealed who the Gargoyle King is... or did they? In season 3, episode 21 titled 'The Dark Secret of Harvest House', Jughead finally made huge ground on his quest to uncover the true identity of the most recent Gargoyle King. Jug's investigation leads him to Ethel Muggs, who has been MIA since she was freed from the Sisters on the night of the quarantine. After saving her life, Ethel rewards Jughead by telling him who the Gargoyle King is. Apparently, it's Jason Blossom. What happens in Riverdale 3x22? TERRIFYING finale episode trailer is here Yes. Jason. Cheryl's twin brother. Polly's baby daddy. The one who has literally been dead since the very first episode of the series. OR SO WE THOUGHT. After receiving the news, Jughead goes and digs up Jason's grave to double check and lo and behold, his body is not there. But how is this possible? Is Jason Blossom actually still alive or is someone posing as him? Did the Fizzle Rocks that Ethel was popping cloud her vision? Is she genuinely tripping? So many questions and with only one episode left before the finale, there's a LOT that needs to be answered. Is Jason Blossom alive on Riverdale? Ethel says Jason Blossom is the Gargoyle King but... is she telling the truth? Picture: The CW Ok. So. If Jason Blossom is, in fact, alive and has been recently posing as the Gargoyle King, how? And if Jason Blossom is not alive, then why is Ethel under the impression that he's the King? As far as we know, Jason is dead. He was shot by his father Clifford on camera and his body was disposed of by FP Jones with Joaquin as an accomplice. Prior to discovering his dead body and holding a funeral, the Blossoms did actually bury an empty casket. That *could* explain what Jughead found, but you never bloody know, do ya? If he's alive, Jason's motives for being the Gargoyle King are quite foggy (unless he's working for someone?) but as always, all bets are off with Riverdale. At this point, literally anything could happen and there's a few theories as to how all of this could be explained. Let's investigate... jason blossom was shot on his head his body was recovered from the river his body was autopsied we saw a video of him being shot dead by his dad AND NOW HIS CASKET IS EMPTY AND YOU'RE TELLING US HE'S ALIVE AND HE'S THE GARGOYLE KING HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE I'M--- #Riverdale pic.twitter.com/WbJsMAAiMh — bee (@abeeauty) May 9, 2019 Jason Blossom is alive and that body wasn't even his. Even though we've seen a dead body, it's not out of the realms of possibility that the body that was found at the river wasn't actually Jason. When Jason's body was discovered, it was extremely disfigured and could have easily been a random ginger kid who fit Jason's measurements. With the corrupt Curdle family at the morgue, fake death certificates, autopsies and evidence could have easily been forged. Could Jason have faked his own death after all? It's possible, seeing as it was his original plan. Jason and Polly were set to leave for The Farm long before he was killed so what if he's actually just been holed up there this whole time, plotting his revenge on the town? It might explain why Edgar was so keen to get Cheryl into The Farm. And, not being funny, but if you were shot in the head at THAT close range, your brains would be absolutely splattered out of the back of your head. As we saw in the footage of his "murder", the bullet wound didn't even exit Jason's head, which is weird. Maybe that's a censorship thing but either way, it's a bit sus. Jason Blossom has a twin (that's not Cheryl). Surprise! Another twin twist - exactly what we don't need in Riverdale, but it kind of makes sense, doesn't it? As we know, there's a long running history of twins within the Blossom family so what if Jason has an identical brother? Following Penelope's revelation that the Blossom family adopted and groomed young redheaded girls from the Sisters in order to marry them off to their sons, there's already a theory that Cheryl could actually be adopted, and not Jason's real twin. (Again, it's just a theory...) If Jason had an identical twin brother, it would certainly explain why no red flags were raised by FP Jones, who knew what Jason looked like, when he was disposing of the body. It could also explain why Ethel thinks that Jason is the Gargoyle King and why Cheryl was so sure that Jason was at The Farm. But again, the twin thing has been DONE. Riverdale wouldn't pull that stunt again, would they? (Please. No.) Jason Blossom is 100% dead and someone is posing as him. Look, it's impossible to predict what twists and turns Riverdale is gonna throw at us next but Jason being alive will truly be the biggest WTF of all time - and it might break the fandom if it's true. Jason is dead. He has to be. Far too many people were implicated in his death to even suspect otherwise. But given what we now know about how Edgar goes about hypnotising and creating hallucinations, it's more than likely that someone has been pretending to be Jason this whole time (and somehow managed to remove his body from his grave.) Just as Polly was physically posing as Betty, it would explain why Cheryl said she was able to speak and physically hug him. As for Ethel? Well, we know she experienced hallucinations while playing G&G at the Sisters which could tie into her whole "Jason is the Gargoyle King" statement. Maybe she's only seen that from a hallucinatory experience? If that's true, then who is pretending to be Jason? Chic, maybe? Chic being involved with the Gargoyle King certainly backs the claim made by the tattoo artist about the blue eyes and sandy hair thing. Chic isn't confirmed dead, so he's likely still out there. Maybe he found a home at The Farm while he was on the run? And listen, the true Gargoyle King wouldn't wanna blow his cover by revealing his true identity to Gossip Girl Ethel, would he? No, he'd trick her with a little... hypnosis? That he learned from... Edgar? Idk idk idk... via GIPHY Or, you know, maybe Ethel is just a big ol' liar and I am wasting my damn time.<doc-sep>
What happens in Riverdale 3x22? TERRIFYING finale episode trailer is here By Katie Louise Smith The core four face off against the Gargoyle King and Cheryl attempts to escape the Farm in the trailer for Riverdale season 3, episode 22. The extended trailer for the Riverdale season 3 finale is finally here and, in what might be the absolute understatement of the century, everyone is in danger. Episode 21 left us with several questions about what could happen in the final episode: What will happen to Betty? Will Alice escape? Will Cheryl escape?! What sinister games is Edgar playing? Is he behind the Gargoyle King? Is he working with the Black Hood? Is the literally dead Jason the Gargoyle King? IS JASON STILL ALIVE?! The next episode of Riverdale, titled 'Apocalypto', will air on Wednesday May 15th. What happens in the Riverdale season 3 finale? Here's everything we know so far... The synopsis for the episode reads: "After receiving mysterious invitations, Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead band together to confront the evils of their past once and for all. Meanwhile, chaos ensues at The Farm after Edgar makes a chilling announcement." What will happen in Riverdale 3x22? Here's a closer look at the extended promo trailer for the season 3 finale episode... Riverdale season 3, episode 22 trailer: First look at the terrifying finale episode. Picture: The CW Dear Core Four, The Gargoyle King formally requests your presence for a final showdown. First things first, it looks like Betty escapes The Farm after all... (or does she?!) The Gargoyle King sends a TOP SECRET invitation to the core four, bringing them all back together for a game of spin the bottle in the forest. Well, actually, it looks like they might be in Pickens Park because that tree? It definitely looks like the "Devil's Hand" tree that popped up in conversation around The Black Hood in season 2. Six chalices filled with blue liquid are placed on a tree stump with a quest card and a bottle of Blossom Maple Farms Syrup. Nothing like a sinister game of Spin The Bottle in the middle of the night - but who are the other two cups for? The squad also come across what looks like a clearing in the ground full of skulls and Archie ends up in a huge fight against someone? Is it the Gargoyle King? Or is it the Black Hood? via GIPHY Black Hood + The Gargoyle King? Hal Cooper's status was confirmed as alive (sadly) in episode 21 after it was revealed that he literally sawed his own hand off in a bid to fake his death. In the trailer, he pulls off his mask as he says "I will kill you and your friends" but who the f*ck is he talking to? And also why is he standing next to a Gargoyle figure? AND WHERE IS HE? via GIPHY Meanwhile at the Farm... Toni has managed to escape and has made it back to Thistlehouse where the number one Antoinette Topaz stan Nana Rose Blossom helps her recover. It also looks like she's rallied the Serpent and Pretty Poison troops for a Farm Rescue as she's seen running around the forecourt of Thistlehouse next to a truck full of arrows. Cheryl, meanwhile, is still very much at the Farm and in danger. She's restrained after entering Edgar's office and then approaches Kevin and Fangs to let them know that they are busting out. Edgar tells Alice that "ascension is upon us" which is VERY alarming, considering what we know about ascension in relation to Gryphons and Gargoyles. Alice approaches Edgar in his office while Kevin can be seen sat surrounded by white outfits on the floor. They're doing it, aren't they? A mass poisoning? I'M SCARED! via GIPHY IS THIS YOUR KING? Following Ethel's shock confession that the absolutely 100% totally dead Jason Blossom is apparently the Gargoyle King, anyone with red hair is a suspect - which is why this shot of a guy with red hair emerging from the forest with the Gryphons and Gargoyle symbols tattooed on to his skin is terrifying. But who could it be? Is it Archie? Is it actually Jason? Or could it be... Chic? Based on the fact that his all but confirmed appearance in the season is still yet to happen, it could honestly be Chic. Has he dyed his hair in order to pose as Jason as part of Edgar's hallucination plot?
