Riverdale is off to a crazy start. 

On Riverdale Season 2 Episode 2, Archie continued to spiral in the aftermath of the shooting, and things do not get better when it emerged that Ms. Grundy had been murdered. 

Archie questioned whether it could have been her abusive ex-husband because that would give a motive for Fred to be targeted. Alice did some digging and found out the murder was a crime of passion.

On top of that, she said that the gift Archie bought for Ms. Grunday was probably the murder weapon. This sent Archie further downwards as he tried to make sense of what was going on in town. 

He realized he needed to get a firearm to keep everyone safe, so he turned to Dilton Doyle. 

Archie stressed that he was not crazy and that it was all just for protection. The killer struck once again, and Moose and Midge were shot. 

In other events, Betty made it her mission to save Pop’s when everyone stopped attending because of the shooting. Everyone seemed to think it was a lost cause, but Veronica joined forces with her.

The two girls were shocked to learn that someone was buying the land. Veronica turned to her father because she thought it was him. She then opened up about how she hated him because he threatened Hermione. 

Veronica then realized that her parents were as bad as each other and that she was just going to have to press on with her life and act like everything was okay. 

At the party to save the diner, Hiram said he was making a charitable donation to the diner. 

Little did Veronica know he was buying it and forcing Pop to lie that he was still the owner. Yes, this dude is very evil, and we’re now officially scared for the residents of Riverdale.

Alice noticed several drug deals going on in the town and told Veronica that the war between the Serpents is going to get ugly, so they should all watch their backs. 

The other big development was Betty threatening Cheryl to testify in FP’s favor, or she would leak the video of her father killing Jason.

In the end, it all worked out, and Cheryl loaded up the video to show her mother.

Cheryl has been vocal about her mother being under her control now, so this could have been yet another one of her power plays.
