Well, they did it. They sunk to the bottom of the barrel this week. Archie’s on some wacky path to mercenaries and murder plots, Jughead’s in a “duel” with Bret using the most boring tests ever, Betty’s on the hunt for clues with a suddenly clueless Alice, and Veronica turned on a dime after meeting with her “not-forced-at-all-for-ratings-friendship” with Katy Keene. And if Toni avenging Cheryl by drugging and assaulting him against his will for blackmail isn’t bad enough, how about leaning into rape culture by painting Donna as a manipulative liar? It’s one thing to be tone deaf; it’s another to make your ignorance and callousness the focus of the plot. For an episode about honor, this show doesn’t seem to show a lot of it. We’re getting on our soapboxes this week on The Doghouse.
