I actually cringed at all the “romantic” scenes in this episode. Jabitha have lost any spark they had when they were friends and watching Jughead kiss Tabitha, after the worst molatov cocktail throw in the world, like he was passionately in love with her was such a huge let down after all the Bughead chemistry. Even the smallest Bughead pecks had more passion than this travesty.
As for Betty and Archie, well don’t get me started on how months of not even really talking to each other seems to not matter as soon as there is cake, balloons and a couple of beers.
I was waiting for Betty and Veronica’s “big” talk to be more than “oh, did you know Archie and I broke up, let me check my manicure”. Riverdale writers have taken what was once a kick*ss friendship between two amazing women and reducing it to a couple of lines, almost like a postscript.
As for Cheryl using Britta as child/slave labour in the mines, isn’t there some kind of law about that?!?!
And can someone please tell me how Betty is now a fully fledged FBI agent when she quit and she gets to run the whole Riverdale FBI office on her own?
I actually didn’t mind Veggie getting together and they had the most believable chemistry, but I feel sorry for Reggie because the only reason Veronica is staying Riverdale is because she’s now the Black Widow of Wall Street and no one wants her in New York.
The best part of this episode for me was Nana Blossom saying “oh, I wondered if anyone would ever find those bodies” as if it’s an everyday occurrence to dig up the skeletal remains of long dead miners. Well I guess it is Riverdale after all where there are more dead bodies than average. I hope for more Nana Blossom in season 6!
I’m patiently waiting for Bughead to come back and hoping there will soon be episodes of Riverdale that I want to re-watch over and over again like I have with the first 4 seasons. I’m going to pretend that Season 5 doesn’t exist and immerse myself in all the amazing Bughead fan fiction so all is right in my Riverdale and Bughead worlds again.
