Betty (Lili Reinhart) is forced to deal with her problems head-on after a heated confrontation with Alice (Madchen Amick) and Polly (guest star Tiera Skovbye) brings up some dark secrets she’s kept hidden. Veronica (Camila Mendes) pleads with Hiram (Mark Consuelos) to step in and help Archie before a verdict is announced. Finally, Jughead (Cole Sprouse) leads the Serpents against the Ghoulies latest attack.” So this episode picks up near the end of the summer, about three months after Season 2 ended. Here’s quick refresher on Season 2. At the end of Season 2, we learned that Betty’s dad, Hal, is the Black Hood. However, Archie also believes there’s a second Black Hood out there. Turns out that second Black Hood was Tall Boy, who died in a shooutout with the police. Jug was beaten up and left in a hospital, but he is going to be OK after the Ghoulies-Serpents showdown. Cheryl has made Nana Blossom her legal guardian and she’s now emancipated from her mother and scheming uncle. But she learns that they were working with Hiram Lodge, which is a big problem. The last piece of Hiram’s plan was to buy Whyte Wyrm. So Veronica gets the $1 million she made ransoming Nick St. Clair. She buys Whyte Wyrm, but agrees to give it to her dad in exchange for Pop’s. Veronica is now on Team Andrews and switched to Fred’s mayoral campaign. She also pulled out of the student council race, just like Betty. And so did Reggie and Josie, leaving the race to Archie vs. Ethel. Near the end, FP announces that he’s retiring and hands the Serpents to Jughead. And Cheryl gets a red Serpent Jacket. Hermione wins the mayor election. But Hiram is planning for Claudius, Penny, and the Ghoulies to run drugs through the new prison, and he’s giving Penny a brothel one of these days. Archie wins the Student Council election, but he’s framed for a murder at Shadow Lake. So the season ends with his arrest.<doc-sep>When you subscribe we will use the information you provide to send you these newsletters.

Riverdale: Dramatic season three trailer tease satanic cult WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Riverdale season 3, episode 1 Archie goes down Episode one of Riverdale opened with the closing statements in Archie Andrews’ (played by KJ app) trial for murder. The high school student’s mother and lawyer Mary Andrews (Molly Ringwald) made valiant effort to save her son from prison. Sadly, it wasn’t looking good for Archie in The CW show as the jury was deadlocked and judge was on the verge of a re-trial. Prosecutor Mrs Wright (Penelope Ann Miller) told the jock that if he pleaded guilty to manslaughter he would only get two years in a juvenile detention centre. Before Mary could say anything, Archie agreed and was quickly on a bus to the centre. Earlier on in the instalment, Archie became an honorary Southside Serpent as FP Jones (Skeet Ulrich) inked him a tattoo that was hopefully going to give him some protection behind bars and help him make friends. HOW TO WATCH RIVERDALE SEASON 3 ONLINE Riverdale season 3, episode 1 focused on Archie' s trial Veronica cuts ties with Hiram After the outcome of the trial, Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes) cut all ties with her father Hiram (Mark Consuelos) as she lashed out at him for framing Archie. However, he told her that he’d put her through the whole ordeal to punish her for choosing Archie over her own blood. Her mother Hermione Lodge (Marisol Nichols) explained that she couldn’t stop her husband because she didn’t have the same protection Veronica did. WILL RIVERDALE SEASON 3 BE SHORTER? Betty scorns The Farm Meanwhile, Alice Cooper (Mädchen Amick) appeared to have become brainwashed by Edgar, the mysterious cult leader of The Farm. Betty poured scorn on The Farm and Edgar, whom she described as a heaven’s gate community leader for pregnant runaways. Her words angered both Cooper (Tiera Skovbye) and Alice, who appeared to have bought into the cult. On top of that, Betty’s sister Polly stirred the pot as she told her mother that there was more about her younger sibling that she didn’t know. WHERE IS RIVERDALE SEASON 3 FILMED? Madchen Amick as Alice Cooper in Riverdale season 3 Betty's secrets are exposed It was revealed that Betty hadn’t been seeing a therapist after all over the summer. To make matters worse, she had been getting prescriptions for a drug called Adderall as she self-medicated to deal with her father Hal Cooper (Lochlyn Munro) being exposed as the Black Hood. She confessed all to her boyfriend Jughead (Cole Sprouse) and together they decided that things needed to change. But just when it looked like all was going well, Betty came home to find members of The Farm at her home carrying out a strange ceremony involving the twins. The strange sight appeared to trigger Betty who ended up having a fit. RIVERDALE SEASON 3 NETFLIX RELEASE DATE, CAST, TRAILER, PLOT Jughead and Betty in Riverdale season 3 The Serpents versus the Ghoulies Betty took Jughead up on his offer as his queen as she went along to a skirmish between the Ghoulies and the Serpents when his beloved pet Hot Dog was kidnapped by the rival gang. Fans got to see Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch) back in her element as she took on the Ghoulies with her bow and arrow. The scene is likely to fuel more theories of a DC Comics Arrowverse crossover with Riverdale. However, despite getting back Hot Dog, Jughead invoked the wrath of Penny Peabody (Brit Morgan), who vowed to wage war on the Northside after taking the Southside from the Serpents in season two. We can expect some more run-ins between the Ghoulies and the Serpents this season as Penny will be causing further problems.
