This wasn’t really a remarkable episode of television, but it certainly had some trademark ridiculous moments. Such as Cheryl Blossom tapping into her ability to, yes, light fires with the power of her traumas. But there’s so much more ridiculousness in this episode, like Percival Pickens taking up residence in the Babylonium, or Archie doing carny strongman stunts while Jughead barks him up. This episode might not be the best, but it’s certainly weird, and for that, we have to applaud it. Take a deep breath and focus ont he flame as we discuss “Chapter 105: Folk Heroes” this week on The Doghouse.
