The last two episodes of Riverdale felt a lot like a two-part premiere - first, we had to find out what happened to our Core Four, then they have to come together. Now? All bets are off. I mean, we’re nowhere near jumping the shark yet, though don’t be surprised if that’s coming soon. I mean, Jughead has to interview an old man in the woods who’s looking to get abducted by “Mothmen.” Most of the drama, though, is centered around the epic highs and lows of school budgeting, missing sisters, and Veronica’s hubby pulling a surprise drop-in that is maybe more terrifying than anything that’s ever happened on this show. We’re far from the shallows now as we discuss “Chapter 82: Back to School” this week on The Doghouse.
