00:00:02,461 --> 00:00:04,379
JUGHEAD:  Previously
on Riverdale...

2
00:00:04,421 --> 00:00:06,423
The story is about a
town,  once wholesome and
innocent,

3
00:00:06,465 --> 00:00:09,384
now forever changed
by the mysterious murder
of Jason Blossom

4
00:00:09,426 --> 00:00:11,052
on the 4th of July.

5
00:00:11,094 --> 00:00:13,597
The bookkeeping position
at my company...
It's still open.

6
00:00:13,639 --> 00:00:15,933
-If you're interested...
-Yes, yes, yes.

7
00:00:15,975 --> 00:00:17,351
Oh, Hiram.

8
00:00:17,392 --> 00:00:19,770
A donation to your
re-election campaign.

9
00:00:19,812 --> 00:00:22,564
And Lodge Industries gets
one of the most prime

10
00:00:22,606 --> 00:00:25,024
pieces of real estate
in Riverdale.

11
00:00:25,066 --> 00:00:27,361
What did Jason do
that was so bad?

12
00:00:27,402 --> 00:00:28,863
Jason and Polly had a fight.

13
00:00:28,904 --> 00:00:31,198
Afterwards, Polly was
pretty devastated,

14
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:33,283
so we sent her to a hospital.

15
00:00:33,325 --> 00:00:35,870
If your parents lied
about Jason and Polly,

16
00:00:35,911 --> 00:00:37,913
there's probably more
that they lied about.

17
00:00:37,955 --> 00:00:40,624
Dad, Jason and Polly
were engaged.
Did you know that?

18
00:00:40,666 --> 00:00:43,711
I'd die before I let them
steal my daughter.

19
00:00:43,752 --> 00:00:46,171
-Where is she?
-She is sick!

20
00:00:50,009 --> 00:00:51,552
JUGHEAD:  Fear.

21
00:00:51,593 --> 00:00:54,763
It's the most basic,
the most human emotion.

22
00:00:56,598 --> 00:00:59,643
As kids, we're afraid
of everything.

23
00:00:59,685 --> 00:01:04,231
-The dark...
-Will you stay in my room
tonight, Polly? Please?

24
00:01:04,272 --> 00:01:06,483
The boogeyman under the bed...

25
00:01:07,943 --> 00:01:09,486
Mom won't let me, Betty.

26
00:01:09,528 --> 00:01:12,990
But I'll turn
the night-light on, okay?

27
00:01:13,032 --> 00:01:16,284
And we pray for morning.
For the monsters to go away.

28
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:25,293
Though they never do.
Not really.

29
00:01:25,335 --> 00:01:28,255
Just ask Jason Blossom.

30
00:01:28,296 --> 00:01:30,007
Oh, Mom, I forgot to mention.

31
00:01:30,049 --> 00:01:32,133
I invited Jughead
over for breakfast.

32
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:34,970
Hmm.

33
00:01:43,562 --> 00:01:44,855
(CLINKING ON PLATE)

34
00:01:48,233 --> 00:01:51,445
So, Jughead...

35
00:01:51,486 --> 00:01:54,949
I suppose we have you
to thank for Betty's
ongoing obsession

36
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:56,867
with this Jason Blossom
ghoulishness?

37
00:01:56,909 --> 00:01:59,870
BETTY: Actually, Mom, I was the
one who asked Jughead

38
00:01:59,912 --> 00:02:02,205
to help me write it
for the  Blue and Gold.

39
00:02:02,247 --> 00:02:03,707
(LAUGHS)

40
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:06,418
Relax, Betty.
I'm just making conversation.

41
00:02:13,216 --> 00:02:14,802
Do you guys have a bathroom
I could use?

42
00:02:14,843 --> 00:02:17,220
-Sure, I'll show you.
-No, no. I'll show him.

43
00:02:18,722 --> 00:02:20,015
Follow me...

44
00:02:20,682 --> 00:02:21,683
Jughead.

45
00:02:37,449 --> 00:02:40,077
JUGHEAD:  Another fun fact
about fear.

46
00:02:40,119 --> 00:02:41,787
Sometimes it grows up
with you.

47
00:02:49,128 --> 00:02:51,672
Or it curls up inside of you,

48
00:02:51,713 --> 00:02:54,591
tightens around your guts.

49
00:02:54,633 --> 00:02:58,345
KEVIN: Archie Andrews?

50
00:02:58,386 --> 00:03:01,598
JUGHEAD:  Each fall,
Riverdale High hosts
a Variety Show.

51
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:03,517
But this event
is no mere student frolic.

52
00:03:03,558 --> 00:03:06,687
And what will you be
auditioning with?

53
00:03:06,728 --> 00:03:10,273
Uh, an original song
that I wrote called  I'll Try.

54
00:03:10,315 --> 00:03:12,191
-(FEEDBACK RINGING)
-REGGIE: Try harder!

55
00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:13,944
Maybe try not sucking so much.

56
00:03:14,820 --> 00:03:16,738
(CROWD LAUGHING)

57
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:24,412
Take your time, Archie.
Though we do have
people waiting.

58
00:03:28,291 --> 00:03:30,377
Oh, my God, what's happening?

59
00:03:30,418 --> 00:03:32,295
He's choking.

60
00:03:32,337 --> 00:03:34,882
Archie? Clock's ticking.

61
00:03:34,923 --> 00:03:38,301
-(MIC GIVING FEEDBACK)
-Excuse me. Sorry, I gotta go.

62

(CROWD LAUGHING
AND APPLAUDING)

63

(REGGIE CHEERING)

64
00:03:47,936 --> 00:03:51,773
When I was up there,
looking out...
I don't know, I just froze.

65
00:03:51,815 --> 00:03:53,901
That was stage fright, Archie.

66
00:03:53,942 --> 00:03:57,071
Yeah, but when
I'm on the football field,
the stands can be packed.

67
00:03:57,112 --> 00:03:59,990
-Packed, and it doesn't affect
my game at all.
-Singing makes you vulnerable

68
00:04:00,032 --> 00:04:02,409
in a way
that football doesn't.

69
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:06,287
Or maybe what I was missing
out there onstage was my team.

70
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:08,957
Or at least a partner.

71
00:04:08,999 --> 00:04:10,834
What if we sang  I Got You?

72
00:04:10,876 --> 00:04:13,420
Archie, I'm a Pussycat.

73
00:04:13,461 --> 00:04:15,422
We're headlining
the Variety Show.

74
00:04:15,463 --> 00:04:18,175
What if you sang with them
first and then me?
Just this once?

75
00:04:18,217 --> 00:04:21,011
-To help me get my sea legs.
-Have you met Josie?

76
00:04:22,679 --> 00:04:24,305
I can't step out on the Cats.

77
00:04:27,726 --> 00:04:32,189
BETTY: "The Sisters
of Quiet Mercy."

78
00:04:32,231 --> 00:04:35,650
What is that? Like a church?
Or a charity?

79
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,156
No. It's a...

80
00:04:42,157 --> 00:04:44,492
"Home for troubled youths.

81
00:04:44,534 --> 00:04:49,456
"Where disenfranchised teens
will learn such virtues
as discipline and respect,

82
00:04:49,497 --> 00:04:53,668
"enjoying lives
of quiet reflection
and servitude."

83
00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:57,089
Poor Polly.

84
00:05:00,592 --> 00:05:02,719
BETTY: It's been months.

85
00:05:02,761 --> 00:05:05,222
There's gotta be a reason
my mom and dad don't want
me to see Polly.

86
00:05:05,264 --> 00:05:07,182
But I don't care anymore.

87
00:05:07,224 --> 00:05:10,393
What are you guys
talking about?
Anything I can help with?

88
00:05:10,435 --> 00:05:12,813
What we're attempting
is a stealth operation,
Archie.

89
00:05:12,854 --> 00:05:15,065
If we go in there
with the entire Scooby Gang,

90
00:05:15,107 --> 00:05:17,651
forget it, we're compromised.

91
00:05:17,692 --> 00:05:20,361
Well, don't you have to
practice for the Variety Show
anyways?

92
00:05:22,239 --> 00:05:24,324
Uh, no, I don't.

93
00:05:24,365 --> 00:05:28,495
Except that yes, you do.
Thanks to a certain
Veronica-ex-machina.

94
00:05:28,536 --> 00:05:30,413
VERONICA: Excuse me.
VALERIE: What do you mean?

95
00:05:30,455 --> 00:05:33,750
Oh, nothing. Just that
I had a few words
with our director/host,

96
00:05:33,792 --> 00:05:36,753
and reminded him
that he's heard you sing
on numerous occasions.

97
00:05:36,795 --> 00:05:39,173
Even though it compromises
my artistic integrity.

98
00:05:39,214 --> 00:05:42,425
Cutting to the chase,
you have a slot
if you want it.

99
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:45,179
Veronica, thank you,
but you saw what happened.

100
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:47,014
We all did.

101
00:05:47,055 --> 00:05:49,057
Playing my songs
in front of you guys
is one thing,

102
00:05:49,099 --> 00:05:52,769
but getting back up
on that stage by myself...

103
00:05:52,811 --> 00:05:54,188
I'm not sure if I'm ready
for that.

104
00:05:54,229 --> 00:05:56,106
If it's a partner
you're looking for,

105
00:05:56,148 --> 00:05:58,275
Veronica Lodge
is more than willing and able.

106
00:05:58,317 --> 00:06:00,277
Veronica, I didn't know
you could sing.

107
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:02,279
Like a nightingale.

00:06:02,321 --> 00:06:04,114

You don't sing on the bridge.

116
00:06:24,926 --> 00:06:27,888
Actually, the bridge
is meant to be sung
by two voices.

not show time at the Apollo.

at Madison Square Garden
or Ace Bowling Alley,

JOSIE: I'm sorry.

Did you want to say something
to me, Valerie?

127
00:06:55,540 --> 00:06:58,919
It's just that I don't have
to deal with this diva crap
when I'm working with Archie.

128
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,172
Working with Archie how?

-Singing with him.
-Unacceptable.

You sing with the Pussycats.

132
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:11,431
Or with Archie.

133
00:07:11,472 --> 00:07:12,724
But not both.

134
00:07:14,726 --> 00:07:17,938
In that case, I quit.

at risk?

on this huge bid.

the construction

could actually put me
back in the black.

I would plead the case myself.

the next best thing.

So, I invited her to dinner.

Figure I can try to woo her
into giving me the contract.

Maybe you could be my co-host.

00:09:33,614 --> 00:09:36,910
Yeah, me and Hermione...
We're gonna go together.

171
00:09:36,951 --> 00:09:39,329
With each other. I...

172
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:41,289
I don't really know
how to say this,

173
00:09:41,331 --> 00:09:43,417
and I don't want to
make a too big a deal of it,
but, uh...

174
00:09:43,458 --> 00:09:45,168
Dad, it's okay. You're good.

175
00:09:45,793 --> 00:09:47,087
Yeah?

176
00:09:47,128 --> 00:09:49,589
-Yeah. (CHUCKLES)
-Good. Okay.

177
00:09:49,630 --> 00:09:50,924
I do like her, and I...

178
00:09:50,965 --> 00:09:53,801
You know,
I think maybe I'm ready...

179
00:09:53,843 --> 00:09:57,264
If this is something
that makes you happy,
then I say go for it.

180
00:09:57,305 --> 00:10:01,809
You're good. (SIGHS)
Mom's good. I'm good.

181
00:10:04,187 --> 00:10:05,980
All right.

182
00:10:08,567 --> 00:10:10,444
JOSIE: Mom,
Valerie quit the Pussycats.

183
00:10:10,485 --> 00:10:15,115
-Replace her.
-Val writes our songs.
She's irreplaceable.

184
00:10:15,156 --> 00:10:18,952
No, Josie.
You're irreplaceable.

185
00:10:18,993 --> 00:10:21,704
Everyone else is disposable.

186
00:10:21,746 --> 00:10:24,958
You know, maybe it's not
such a bad thing
to try a new voice.

187
00:10:24,999 --> 00:10:26,334
-Ugh.
-A different sound.

188
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:27,794
You know how your father
feels about pop music.

189
00:10:27,835 --> 00:10:29,670
-But it's not pop music
this time.
-Okay,

190
00:10:29,712 --> 00:10:32,466
well, he's catching a red eye
and missing two concert dates

191
00:10:32,507 --> 00:10:34,134
to see you
in this Variety Show.

192
00:10:34,175 --> 00:10:36,136
I would hate for you
to let him down.

193
00:10:36,177 --> 00:10:37,720
I understand, and I won't.

194
00:10:37,762 --> 00:10:41,308
Good, 'cause if you do,
he will somehow blame me.

195
00:10:41,349 --> 00:10:45,145
Find yourself a new Cat.
Someone skinny and beautiful.

196
00:10:45,186 --> 00:10:50,024
-(SCOFFS)
-But not more skinny
and beautiful than you.

197
00:10:50,066 --> 00:10:51,859
And a woman of color, please.

198
00:10:51,901 --> 00:10:54,821
-Josie, don't forget
our branding.
-Yeah, okay. Mmm.

199
00:10:54,862 --> 00:10:56,990
And Josie...

200
00:10:57,031 --> 00:10:58,866

when he gets out of jail?

203
00:11:18,386 --> 00:11:20,888
Ronnie, why would you ask
such a thing?

204
00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:23,224
I saw you, Mom.

205
00:11:23,266 --> 00:11:25,726
With Fred Andrews
in the trailer.

206
00:11:28,938 --> 00:11:31,525
Oh, Veronica.

207
00:11:31,566 --> 00:11:36,363
Honey, I am so sorry
that you did.

208
00:11:36,404 --> 00:11:39,698
But I want you to know
that we've... We've never
even kissed before.

209
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,075
Until today.

210
00:11:41,117 --> 00:11:43,620
What about Dad?

211
00:11:43,662 --> 00:11:45,955
What happens when he
comes home?

212
00:11:52,504 --> 00:11:54,255
I'm not sure.

213
00:11:56,257 --> 00:11:57,925
I'm so sorry, baby.

214
00:11:59,802 --> 00:12:02,305
It just happened, Veronica.

215
00:12:03,764 --> 00:12:06,226
And I know that this
must be confusing.

216
00:12:06,267 --> 00:12:08,687
Yeah, it is.

217
00:12:09,770 --> 00:12:12,106
So, what can I do to help?

218
00:12:16,944 --> 00:12:21,032
You know what, Mom?
There's actually nothing.

Not to be that girl, Archie,

224
00:12:40,343 --> 00:12:43,930
but I didn't get the memo
we were adding another voice
to the mix.

225
00:12:43,971 --> 00:12:47,058
Ronnie, hey. Great news!
Valerie quit the Pussycats.

226
00:12:49,143 --> 00:12:53,440
So, that makes me what, then?
Backup?

227
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:55,816
No. I mean, you were
just doing it as a favor
to me, right?

228
00:12:57,985 --> 00:13:00,280
You are unbelievable, Archie.

229
00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:04,618
You literally have
zero loyalty,
you ginger Judas!

230
00:13:04,659 --> 00:13:06,953
Okay. Hey, Ronnie.
What's wrong?

231
00:13:06,994 --> 00:13:10,789
What's wrong, Archie,
besides the fact that you have
no integrity whatsoever,

232
00:13:10,831 --> 00:13:13,752
is that your father
kissed my mother.

233
00:13:15,336 --> 00:13:16,795
Um...

234
00:13:16,837 --> 00:13:19,798
-Maybe I should leave.
-No, hold on. Hold on.

235
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,509
When my dad told me
how he felt,

236
00:13:21,551 --> 00:13:23,219
it seemed like they were both
really into each other.

237
00:13:23,261 --> 00:13:25,972
They're married
to other people.

238
00:13:26,013 --> 00:13:28,141
Hey, my mom and dad are
separated and your dad is...

239
00:13:28,182 --> 00:13:31,144
My dad is what?

240
00:13:31,185 --> 00:13:33,980
He's...
He's incarcerated, right?

241
00:13:34,021 --> 00:13:35,814
That is so not the point,
Archie!

242
00:13:35,856 --> 00:13:37,984
Of course not. Of course not.
I'm sorry. You're right.

243
00:13:38,025 --> 00:13:41,321
-Do you wanna talk about it?
We can go somewhere and talk.
-(SIGHS)

244
00:13:41,362 --> 00:13:43,490
Or do you want your part back?

245
00:13:43,531 --> 00:13:45,366
Oh, don't do me any favors,
Archie.

VERONICA: Your hunt for a new
Pussycat is over.

248
00:13:54,041 --> 00:13:56,002
I can sing, and I've got
a lot of aggression

249
00:13:56,043 --> 00:13:57,878
that needs channeling
into something positive.

250
00:14:48,429 --> 00:14:50,390
Hey.

251
00:14:50,431 --> 00:14:55,102
Don't judge
a home for troubled youths
by its facade, right?

252
00:15:00,274 --> 00:15:02,109
Hi. My name is
Elizabeth Cooper.

253
00:15:02,151 --> 00:15:04,070
I'm here to see
my sister, Polly.

254
00:15:04,111 --> 00:15:06,113
May I see some identification?

255
00:15:10,618 --> 00:15:12,412
Sign in here, please.

256
00:15:12,453 --> 00:15:14,372
He'll have to wait.

257
00:15:15,832 --> 00:15:18,251
Polly's room
is right this way.

258
00:15:18,292 --> 00:15:20,754
Though right now
it's silent reflection time,

259
00:15:20,795 --> 00:15:24,965
and she usually spends
that time in the Garden
of Deliverance.

Polly... You're...

266
00:16:19,019 --> 00:16:21,314
With Jason's...

267
00:16:21,355 --> 00:16:25,025
-Please be happy
for me, Betty.
-I am, Polly.

268
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,322
I'm just...

269
00:16:29,363 --> 00:16:31,574
I am so sorry
I didn't come sooner.

270
00:16:31,616 --> 00:16:33,992
-I should've, but Mom
and Dad... They stopped...
-No.

271
00:16:34,034 --> 00:16:35,536
What did they tell you?

272
00:16:35,578 --> 00:16:38,164
That I was on drugs? Alcohol?

273
00:16:38,205 --> 00:16:40,667
They said you were sick.

274
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:43,670
That you tried
to hurt yourself.

275
00:16:43,711 --> 00:16:47,882
And they told me you didn't
want to come and see me,
which I knew was a lie.

276
00:16:49,383 --> 00:16:52,011
So, they locked you up
because you're pregnant?

277
00:16:52,052 --> 00:16:55,682
It's because they couldn't
control me, Betty.

278
00:16:55,723 --> 00:16:59,352
Mom and Dad hated
that Jason and I were dating.

279
00:16:59,393 --> 00:17:02,021
They were thrilled
when Jason dumped me.

280
00:17:02,062 --> 00:17:05,358
Jason's parents forced him
to break up with me.

281
00:17:05,399 --> 00:17:09,195
Of course they didn't approve
of a Blossom boy dating
a Cooper girl.

282
00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:11,739
But when I told him
about the baby,

283
00:17:11,781 --> 00:17:13,366
our baby...

284
00:17:13,407 --> 00:17:15,910
Oh, he was so happy,
Betty.

285
00:17:15,952 --> 00:17:19,330
We were gonna run away.
Start our family
in a beautiful place.

286
00:17:20,957 --> 00:17:22,000
So, on July 4th,

287
00:17:23,250 --> 00:17:25,545
I woke up, I packed a bag,

288
00:17:25,586 --> 00:17:27,630
and I went downstairs
to start my new life.

289
00:17:27,672 --> 00:17:29,716
Just like Jason and I
had planned.

290
00:17:29,757 --> 00:17:33,052
We were gonna meet
on the other side
of Sweetwater River.

291
00:17:33,093 --> 00:17:35,805
But Mom and Dad found out
about everything.

292
00:17:35,847 --> 00:17:38,265
When I went downstairs,
there was a woman
I didn't know

293
00:17:38,307 --> 00:17:40,393
sitting at the kitchen table
drinking tea

294
00:17:40,434 --> 00:17:43,604
-with two men behind her.
-BETTY:  Oh, my God.

295
00:17:43,646 --> 00:17:45,439
POLLY:  They threw me
in the back of a van.

296
00:17:46,190 --> 00:17:48,401
I was screaming.

297
00:17:48,442 --> 00:17:51,946
I don't think I stopped
screaming until I got here,
in this place.

298
00:17:53,823 --> 00:17:55,616
Have you talked to him?

299
00:17:55,658 --> 00:17:57,535
Does he know that I'm here?

300
00:17:59,453 --> 00:18:02,248
-Who, Polly?
-Jason.

301
00:18:02,289 --> 00:18:05,292
If I give him a message,
will you make sure
it gets to him?

302
00:18:08,796 --> 00:18:11,591
-Polly, Jason...
-What does he think happened?

303
00:18:11,632 --> 00:18:14,092
He knows that I'm here
because of Mom and Dad, right?

304
00:18:14,134 --> 00:18:15,428
Polly, you don't understand...

305
00:18:15,469 --> 00:18:17,680
I can fix this, Betty.
I know I can.

306
00:18:17,722 --> 00:18:20,934
You just have to help me
get out of here,
and then I'll go to meet him.

307
00:18:20,975 --> 00:18:23,436
I'll go to the car
on the lost highway
off of Route 40.

00:18:34,238 --> 00:18:35,782
What's the matter, Betty?

314
00:18:35,823 --> 00:18:37,533
What? What is it?

315
00:18:39,702 --> 00:18:42,288

316
00:18:42,329 --> 00:18:44,331
