Meet an unexpected season finale, with production shutting down missing key scenes to provide another full episode of television. Again, though, unexpected restrictions make Riverdale better, as we’re left this week with a great big question mark of a cliffhanger - if Mr. Honey wasn’t our big bad, exactly who is pulling all these magnetic tape strings? This also might be one of the best written episodes of the show so far, with tons of solid meta-jokes and a revelation of just how twisted the Core Four / Main Six’s moral compass has become. Is Mr. Honey truly ruining our little mystery gang’s lives? Or is there something much darker and deeper going on with these kids?. We talk about it and about what we already know for Season 5 of Riverdale this week on The Doghouse.
