ARCHIE FINALLY ADMITED HIS FEELINGS

Let's start this off with my main point here. This show is centered around Archie. It is based on the Archie comics after all, and like it or not this show is mainly telling Archie's story. It began with him seeing Betty as his best friend, as he had for so many years. I feel like her confession of her feelings took him by surprise in 1x01 and he was still so young. He had her on this pedestal of being perfect and never felt good enough. And although he turned Betty down, he has never once spoke the words that he didn't love her. But now...oh boy have things made a 360. Now it's Archie who is falling for Betty because he has come to see who she really is, and that she's not so perfect after all. And that it's okay she's not. This is the moment we have been waiting for all four season. For Archie to actually show how much he loves her, and now he is. I think that's a HUGE step forward for them.

THE FLASHBACKS

Tell me, why would they go through the trouble of this for this entire episode if it doesn't matter. I believe one reason they did the flash backs is because it's a case against what Cheryl said. "Your in love with the idea of him." Which proves wrong with the flashbacks I believe. Because it shows all the love and history they have together already. Also, what was with all the flashback shots right before they kissed? I've never EVER seen Riverdale do anything like that. They have been very romantic about how they're approaching Barchie. *cough* Archie writing Betty a song *cough*

ALL THE PARALELLS

These totally speak for themselves. I can't even name them all. Seriously. This show is also continuously reminding us of how much history they have together. But my favorite has to be the dance in Betty's bedroom to the one from the dance in 1x01. I mean, that was a MASTERPIECE. Just sayin.

THE SONG

Ahhh, my favorite. I'm sorry but you don't just write a song for anyone. You write a song for someone your either already in love with or falling in love with. Not to mention, the lyrics. As well as the fact that Archie has never EVER done anything remotely close to this caring and tender for Veronica. And she's his damn girlfriend of 4 seasons. But yeah, him and Betty are nothing serious or special. Yeah okay, Bugheads.

"A LITTLE PART OF ME.."

Yet another parallel. Damn, they are good. This one is very important I feel. They both basically almost said the same thing about the other. And remember, Archie said this back in season 1 so damn. They always always have imagined and yearned for one another. Wondered how it would feel to really be together and have a chance. They both feel they're meant to be together. And this isn't a fantasy, they have kissed many times and cared for one another for so long. That's not fantasy. It's yearning for something that's just out of your reach.

THE KISS + time jump - that kiss was 100000% real and pure perfection. I'd say best kiss of Riverdale ever. Their chemistry is on fire. And I feel like this time jump is going to show just how much they really do love one another. Because they're the others safe place and you always return to where your feel safe, where you feel at home. And for them that is each other.
