Words cannot describe just how bad this episode was. Just how off the rails it went. The creative team at Riverdale didn’t just jump the shark last week; no, they set up a ramp to go across Snake River Canyon and nose-dived in. To get the story resolution that happened last week, every single character had to go completely against their established character development to accomplish the final story - save Jughead and Betty. Throw in illegal organ harvesting, a half-brained plan to take down Hiram for good, and the absolute stupidest twist possible, and we’ve got ourselves a surefire dumpster fire of an episode. Commiserate with us this week on The Doghouse.
