Well, that was an awful lot to happen in one single episode, probably too much, if we’re being honest. We saved the town, got Betty her FBI badge, put Jughead where he belongs, and after a little relationship musical chairs, coupled everyone with who they belong with. Perfect finale, right? Oh, wait, of course not, Cheryl Blossom is still on this show, and this time she’s pushing some horrid colonizer disrespect over a curse that didn’t need any dressing up to be more important than it is. But leave it to Riverdale to make things awful and bad. Never mind the fact that Diana has a theory that might drive David to scream into the void about this show. Buckle up for a bumpy landing as we discuss the Season 5 “finale,” “Chapter 95: Riverdale: RIP (?)” this week on The Doghouse.
