00:00:01,084 --> 00:00:02,460
[narrator] Previously on Riverdale:

2
00:00:02,544 --> 00:00:05,463
[Hiram] I am excited to fulfill
a lifelong dream of mine

3
00:00:05,547 --> 00:00:07,257
and announce my candidacy for mayor.

4
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:09,384
Our father needed help.

5
00:00:09,467 --> 00:00:11,052
"Our father"?

6
00:00:11,136 --> 00:00:13,555
Thanks for meeting with me, Mr. DuPont.
I wanted to talk to you

7
00:00:13,638 --> 00:00:15,724
about the first book
in the Baxter Brothers series.

8
00:00:15,807 --> 00:00:17,934
-You didn't write it.
-You're very lucky...

9
00:00:18,643 --> 00:00:21,563
I don't take you to the headmaster
and get you expelled.

10
00:00:21,896 --> 00:00:23,982
-Are you okay?
-[Chipping] I'm sorry, Jughead...

11
00:00:24,649 --> 00:00:25,984
that I couldn't help you.

12
00:00:27,026 --> 00:00:29,070
I will be taking over
Mr. Chipping's seminar.

13
00:00:30,238 --> 00:00:31,990
[Cheryl] Aunt Cricket? Uncle Bedford?

14
00:00:32,073 --> 00:00:33,241
-Cheryl.
-Uncle Bedford.

15
00:00:33,616 --> 00:00:37,203
You are going away
for a long, long time, Cheryl.

16
00:00:37,287 --> 00:00:40,874
[Toni] Let go of her, you monster! [yells]

17
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:45,587
-You wanna fight me again?
-Don't you need to put your mask on first?

18
00:00:46,838 --> 00:00:48,423
We gotta get him to a hospital.

19
00:00:51,092 --> 00:00:52,135
[Jughead] Thanksgiving.

20
00:00:52,969 --> 00:00:56,056
The time of year when friends
and family gather to eat turkey,

21
00:00:56,639 --> 00:00:59,934
watch the big game and give thanks
for all that they have.

22
00:01:04,981 --> 00:01:07,776
But for Archie,
this year was all about what he'd lost.

23
00:01:08,485 --> 00:01:10,528
It was the first Thanksgiving
without his father.

24
00:01:11,029 --> 00:01:12,906
And the void that Fred Andrews left

25
00:01:12,989 --> 00:01:15,450
was as cold as the winds blowing
through the town.

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,996
And while Archie was thinking of ways
to give back,

27
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,916
Riverdale's new mayor was grabbing
all that he could.

28
00:01:23,666 --> 00:01:25,668
Hiram Lodge had run unopposed,

29
00:01:26,002 --> 00:01:29,005
allowing him to ascend to power
virtually overnight.

30
00:01:29,798 --> 00:01:33,259
Meanwhile, across town,
at Riverdale General Hospital,

31
00:01:33,343 --> 00:01:35,595
a different family gathering
was taking place.

32
00:01:35,678 --> 00:01:37,305
For the Dickenson crime clan,

33
00:01:37,388 --> 00:01:39,724
the only dish on the Thanksgiving menu
was revenge.

34
00:01:40,099 --> 00:01:42,018
Now that our boy Dodger is stable...

35
00:01:43,186 --> 00:01:44,938
we'll find whoever did this to him.

36
00:01:45,647 --> 00:01:47,982
Guy from the community center. Gotta be.

37
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:50,360
What community center?

38
00:01:51,569 --> 00:01:52,946
Who the hell are you talking about?

39
00:01:53,029 --> 00:01:56,116
[Jughead] Weather forecasters were calling
for an epic ice storm,

40
00:01:56,199 --> 00:01:58,326
and you could literally feel
the temperature dropping.

41
00:01:58,409 --> 00:01:59,244
Mija.

42
00:02:00,286 --> 00:02:02,539
Hey. You were missed this morning.

43
00:02:03,081 --> 00:02:06,334
Oh, wait, was your inauguration today?

44
00:02:07,752 --> 00:02:10,588
Well, you can make it up to me
tomorrow night.

45
00:02:10,672 --> 00:02:13,299
I made reservations
at the Sweetwater Country Club.

46
00:02:13,383 --> 00:02:15,677
I'm helping Archie
at the community center.

47
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,512
Yeah, Archie's community center.

48
00:02:18,638 --> 00:02:20,974
Wasn't a man found bleeding out,

49
00:02:21,057 --> 00:02:22,934
on the verge of death,
right in front of it?

50
00:02:24,519 --> 00:02:27,021
Just terrible what's going on
in that part of town.

51
00:02:27,856 --> 00:02:28,940
It's a real problem.

52
00:02:31,276 --> 00:02:36,364
Well, you make sure you wish Archie
a very happy Thanksgiving for me.

53
00:02:39,659 --> 00:02:41,786
All right, everyone. Bring it in! Come on.

54
00:02:42,579 --> 00:02:43,663
Hustle up, hustle up.

55
00:02:47,625 --> 00:02:48,501
All right, look.

56
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,297
We know some of you guys have nowhere
to go for Thanksgiving,

57
00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:54,716
so Munroe and I are gonna keep
the center open tomorrow.

58
00:02:55,258 --> 00:02:57,635
We're gonna have hot meals
with all the fixings!

59
00:02:57,719 --> 00:02:59,345
[all cheer]

60
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,432
-Seriously? You guys are cooking?
-Hell, yeah.

61
00:03:02,515 --> 00:03:03,892
-And my mom.
-And grandma.

62
00:03:03,975 --> 00:03:06,019
So, tell your friends
there's an open door policy.

63
00:03:06,102 --> 00:03:07,937
-Everyone is invited.
-All right.

64
00:03:10,648 --> 00:03:14,110
And with that, the seminar is adjourned
for the remainder of the week.

65
00:03:14,193 --> 00:03:18,656
I hope you all have a restful
and productive Thanksgiving break.

66
00:03:20,116 --> 00:03:22,452
Mr. DuPont, before you go,
I was wondering...

67
00:03:24,746 --> 00:03:26,289
I was wondering
if you had any more information

68
00:03:26,372 --> 00:03:28,583
about why Mr. Chipping killed himself.

69
00:03:29,292 --> 00:03:32,170
Alcoholism. Drove him to the edge.

70
00:03:32,253 --> 00:03:34,339
Rupert had many demons, I'm afraid.

71
00:03:34,964 --> 00:03:36,132
Well, he didn't leave a note.

72
00:03:36,215 --> 00:03:38,801
-Hasn't been much of an investigation.
-At the family's request.

73
00:03:38,885 --> 00:03:42,055
And it was clearly a suicide.
You saw it with your own eyes.

74
00:03:43,848 --> 00:03:46,351
Mr. Chipping didn't come to you
to talk about me, did he?

75
00:03:46,684 --> 00:03:48,478
No, why would he have?

76
00:03:48,561 --> 00:03:51,564
-Well, because I shared with him--
-That ridiculous notion...

77
00:03:52,315 --> 00:03:56,402
of your grandfather writing
the original Baxter Brothers novel?

78
00:03:56,861 --> 00:03:58,029
He never brought it up.

79
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:01,241
And might I make a suggestion, Mr. Jones?

80
00:04:01,699 --> 00:04:04,911
That you forget about this delusion
over the Thanksgiving break.

81
00:04:06,955 --> 00:04:08,790
Now, if you'll excuse me...

82
00:04:13,211 --> 00:04:14,295
[Jughead] You still gonna make it?

83
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:17,215
Even with this biblical ice storm
that they're predicting?

84
00:04:17,298 --> 00:04:19,717
Jug, I don't care what my mom
or the weatherman are saying.

85
00:04:19,801 --> 00:04:22,679
There's zero chance
that I'm not seeing you this weekend.

86
00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:24,597
[on speaker] Well, then, hurry up
and get here already.

87
00:04:24,931 --> 00:04:26,891
-I need your help with something.
-Oh...

88
00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:29,477
You mean writing
your Baxter Brothers sample?

89
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,105
Well, I am on a deadline,
and that's the reason I'm hunkering down,

90
00:04:32,188 --> 00:04:35,900
but also considering you and I are going
to be the only ones on campus,

91
00:04:35,984 --> 00:04:38,027
I figured it would be the perfect time

92
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:41,030
to do a little sleuthing
into Chipping's death.

93
00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:43,783
Because, believe me,
no one else is doing it.

94
00:04:44,492 --> 00:04:48,663
Hmm. Conspiracy theories
and a murder mystery to solve?

95
00:04:49,372 --> 00:04:51,165
Sounds like a romantic getaway to me.

96
00:04:52,083 --> 00:04:54,127
All right. I love you. See you later.

97
00:04:59,841 --> 00:05:01,676
[Cheryl] Did you hear the good news,
Tee-Tee?

98
00:05:02,802 --> 00:05:06,139
There's a Category 4 ice storm headed
towards Riverdale like the wrath of God.

99
00:05:06,848 --> 00:05:08,391
How is that good news, Cheryl?

100
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:13,604
Well, whilst the rest of Riverdale
sits down to give thanks,

101
00:05:13,688 --> 00:05:16,482
we'll be dumping Bedford's body
in Sweetwater River,

102
00:05:16,566 --> 00:05:18,318
just before it freezes over.

103
00:05:18,609 --> 00:05:22,155
By the time spring thaw comes around,
the salmon will have gobbled up his eyes.

104
00:05:25,825 --> 00:05:26,743
Toni...

105
00:05:27,952 --> 00:05:29,245
What is it, my sweet?

106
00:05:30,496 --> 00:05:32,874
I feel like somebody's watching me
all the time.

107
00:05:33,916 --> 00:05:37,837
Whatever guilt you're experiencing,
free yourself of it.

108
00:05:38,963 --> 00:05:42,341
You didn't set out to do anyone any harm.

109
00:05:42,967 --> 00:05:43,801
Remember?

110
00:05:44,385 --> 00:05:46,888
You were defending me,
and I love you for it.

111
00:05:51,017 --> 00:05:55,438
Feast your eyes on this, boys,
a true Thanksgiving cornucopia.

112
00:05:55,855 --> 00:05:59,734
Wha--? Ronnie, how...?
Where did you get all of this?

113
00:05:59,817 --> 00:06:01,944
I put in a to-go order
at the country club.

114
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,488
Daddy gave me the idea.

115
00:06:03,988 --> 00:06:07,325
I figured this could supplement whatever
you and yours are cooking for the kids.

116
00:06:08,785 --> 00:06:13,456
Red, tell me this doesn't mean
you are deep-frying a Thanksgiving turkey.

117
00:06:13,539 --> 00:06:15,083
Yes, I am.

118
00:06:15,166 --> 00:06:17,126
It's tradition.
My dad would do one every year.

119
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:19,337
Best damn turkey I ever tasted.

120
00:06:20,046 --> 00:06:21,756
You should come by tomorrow, Mr. Jones.

121
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,675
Actually, Archie,
that's what we need to talk about.

122
00:06:25,176 --> 00:06:27,887
I hate to do this, but I'm under orders.

123
00:06:28,638 --> 00:06:29,806
To shut you down.

124
00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:32,266
What? Orders from who?

125
00:06:33,518 --> 00:06:34,852
Let me guess, the mayor?

126
00:06:36,395 --> 00:06:38,272
You've got to be kidding me.
He can't do this.

127
00:06:38,356 --> 00:06:41,234
Yeah, he can.
He's mayor now, he can do anything.

128
00:06:41,859 --> 00:06:44,445
And technically, the attack on Dodger's
an open investigation,

129
00:06:44,529 --> 00:06:46,489
so this is still an active crime scene.

130
00:06:46,572 --> 00:06:48,366
Plus, Hiram said
with the ice storm coming--

131
00:06:48,449 --> 00:06:52,036
He's doing this to punish me,
to get me to spend the holiday with him.

132
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,871
-Can't we push back?
-I did.

133
00:06:54,747 --> 00:06:56,040
For a couple of hours.

134
00:07:00,169 --> 00:07:01,003
Look...

135
00:07:01,629 --> 00:07:05,800
I'm not supposed to say this, but I know
what I would do if I was in your place.

136
00:07:06,676 --> 00:07:07,969
Screw him.

137
00:07:08,803 --> 00:07:09,637
Yeah.

138
00:07:10,388 --> 00:07:13,516
I'm sorry, but Hiram Lodge is
not canceling Thanksgiving.

139
00:07:14,225 --> 00:07:15,059
Good man.

140
00:07:16,185 --> 00:07:17,645
You're doing your dad proud.

141
00:07:35,496 --> 00:07:36,664
Hey, stranger.

142
00:07:37,206 --> 00:07:39,834
Hey. Wow, that was fast.

143
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:42,420
I took an earlier train to beat the storm.

144
00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:47,341
Jug, hit save.

145
00:07:47,842 --> 00:07:50,887
I know. I'm sorry.
I'm almost done with my first chapter.

146
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:54,432
Yeah, and I can't wait to read it
and to help you sleuth.

147
00:07:55,725 --> 00:07:57,685
But right now,
we have some catching up to do.

148
00:07:57,768 --> 00:07:59,353
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.

149
00:07:59,437 --> 00:08:02,315
♪ Feel the heat under the tide ♪

150
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:05,693
[Alice] FP, what's wrong?

151
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:07,987
Hiram.

152
00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:12,742
I can't believe I'm working for him again.
Still doing his damn dirty work.

153
00:08:13,242 --> 00:08:17,413
Well, you can do like we talked about.
You could quit.

154
00:08:17,496 --> 00:08:20,500
That's what he expects me to do.
But you know what I'm not gonna do?

155
00:08:20,583 --> 00:08:23,503
I'm not gonna wear that crap uniform
to tell a bunch of teenagers

156
00:08:23,586 --> 00:08:25,713
that they can't feed homeless kids.
It's...

157
00:08:27,131 --> 00:08:30,468
Well, whatever you decide,
I back you 100 percent.

158
00:08:31,969 --> 00:08:33,512
I appreciate that, Alice.

159
00:08:34,222 --> 00:08:36,807
-But I do have one request.
-Hm.

160
00:08:39,435 --> 00:08:40,603
Mm-hm.

161
00:08:41,062 --> 00:08:42,146
Mm-hm.

162
00:08:43,147 --> 00:08:44,982
I'm not really in the mood to cook.

163
00:08:46,442 --> 00:08:48,861
So, can we have turkey dinner
at Pop's tomorrow night?

164
00:08:49,445 --> 00:08:51,364
-Fine by me.
-[squeals]

165
00:08:52,990 --> 00:08:55,618
-Since we have the house to ourselves...
-[chuckles]

166
00:08:56,619 --> 00:08:57,453
Oh.

167
00:09:01,832 --> 00:09:03,334
What happened to dinner at the club?

168
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:06,379
Well, the club was closed
because of the storm,

169
00:09:06,462 --> 00:09:07,630
so we decided to order in.

170
00:09:07,713 --> 00:09:10,633
[Hermosa] Plus, I have to take
an earlier flight back to Miami.

171
00:09:11,592 --> 00:09:16,931
But I couldn't bear to miss
my first Thanksgiving all together.

172
00:09:17,473 --> 00:09:18,474
Hermanita.

173
00:09:20,434 --> 00:09:21,602
Please. Join us.

174
00:09:22,728 --> 00:09:23,980
[Veronica] Never.

175
00:09:24,063 --> 00:09:26,190
Only your blackened heart

176
00:09:26,691 --> 00:09:30,528
would take away Thanksgiving
from a bunch of underprivileged kids

177
00:09:30,611 --> 00:09:32,196
just to get what you want.

178
00:09:33,364 --> 00:09:35,700
Are you referring to my decision
to close Archie's shelter?

179
00:09:35,783 --> 00:09:38,828
It was a matter of public safety, mija.
It's nothing personal.

180
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,631
Neither was that, Papi.

181
00:09:53,968 --> 00:09:55,678
[Archie] Are you sure
you still wanna come, Mom?

182
00:09:55,761 --> 00:09:57,388
[Mary] Yeah. It's Thanksgiving.

183
00:09:57,471 --> 00:10:00,850
I know the difference between the letter
of the law and doing what's right,

184
00:10:00,933 --> 00:10:02,893
and feeding those kids is what's right.

185
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:07,231
Anyway, Hiram's not gonna have
guards stationed outside the door.

186
00:10:07,315 --> 00:10:08,983
Honestly, I'm more worried
about the storm.

187
00:10:09,066 --> 00:10:13,112
Well, I'll put chains on the truck tires
and salt the sidewalk around the center.

188
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:17,283

It's your father.

191
00:10:23,456 --> 00:10:24,665
I just miss him.

192
00:10:25,124 --> 00:10:26,584
-It's not right.
-No.

193
00:10:28,878 --> 00:10:31,130
But, hey, we'll get through this.

194
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:34,842
And we're doing exactly
what he'd be doing.

195
00:10:40,765 --> 00:10:42,016
[Toni] We're in trouble, Cheryl.

196
00:10:42,558 --> 00:10:44,894
-Pray tell.
-I just ran into your Aunt Cricket.

197
00:10:44,977 --> 00:10:47,563
She's parked down the road, spying on us.

198
00:10:47,646 --> 00:10:49,482
That's the reason
why I've been feeling watched.

199
00:10:49,565 --> 00:10:51,776
Did you interact
with that nosy, old turkey waddle?

200
00:10:52,276 --> 00:10:54,612
Babe, how are we gonna get rid
of your Uncle Bedford's body,

201
00:10:54,695 --> 00:10:56,322
now that she's staking us out?

202
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,786
We need to scare dear Cricket off,
once and for all,

203
00:11:02,203 --> 00:11:05,206
and disabuse her of the idea
that she will ever get

204
00:11:05,289 --> 00:11:08,084
even a sliver of our maple empire...

205
00:11:11,921 --> 00:11:12,880
by...

206
00:11:15,883 --> 00:11:19,678
inviting her to celebrate a traditional
Blossom Thanksgiving with us.

207
00:11:20,096 --> 00:11:23,265
One honoring my gothic, ghoulish roots.

208
00:11:23,682 --> 00:11:25,059
I'm afraid to ask.

209
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:27,353
Toni...

210
00:11:28,479 --> 00:11:30,523
there's a family legend
Nana Rose shared with me

211
00:11:30,606 --> 00:11:33,067
on one of her more lucid days

212
00:11:34,151 --> 00:11:38,239
that will be the centerpiece of
a carefully planned performance art piece.

213
00:11:39,073 --> 00:11:42,076
A tale so gruesome,
it will turn Aunt Cricket's hair white

214
00:11:42,410 --> 00:11:45,704
and send her fleeing into the night,
never to be heard from again.

215
00:11:50,084 --> 00:11:50,918
I missed you.

216
00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:53,295
I missed you, too.

217
00:11:56,632 --> 00:11:58,592
I was thinking
about Mr. Chipping again earlier.

218
00:12:00,177 --> 00:12:03,722
How he died just after he went to talk
to DuPont about my grandpa.

219
00:12:06,058 --> 00:12:10,187
I think Mr. DuPont threatened
or blackmailed him into killing himself.

220
00:12:12,606 --> 00:12:17,361
Wow, that's an extreme theory, Jug.
What's the motive?

221
00:12:17,820 --> 00:12:21,574
Well, the Baxter Brothers franchise
is worth something like $200 million.

222
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:25,202
That's a compelling motive for Mr. DuPont
not to want his fraud exposed.

223
00:12:25,286 --> 00:12:27,955
Yeah, but what leverage
did DuPont have over Chipping

224
00:12:28,038 --> 00:12:29,748
to make him kill himself?

225
00:12:29,832 --> 00:12:31,167
This is where it gets interesting.

226
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:34,962
How do you get someone to do
something they don't wanna do?

227
00:12:35,337 --> 00:12:36,338
Blackmail, right?

228
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:44,054
Look... at these yearbook photos
I printed out of Mr. DuPont and Chipping.

229
00:12:44,138 --> 00:12:45,347
These are decades apart.

230
00:12:46,182 --> 00:12:47,224
You notice anything?

231
00:12:49,685 --> 00:12:51,770
-Is that the same tie pin?
-Yes.

232
00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:57,276
Apparently, that is the mark
of Quill and Skull.

233
00:12:57,359 --> 00:13:00,404
It's one of Stonewall's
oldest secret societies.

234
00:13:00,905 --> 00:13:02,823
And like so many secret societies,

235
00:13:02,907 --> 00:13:04,700
what if their initiation has
something to do

236
00:13:04,783 --> 00:13:07,119
with you revealing your deepest
and darkest secrets?

237
00:13:07,203 --> 00:13:10,664
Well, then, DuPont may have used
Chipping's blackmail material

238
00:13:10,748 --> 00:13:12,333
to coerce him into suicide.

239
00:13:12,416 --> 00:13:14,251
That's exactly what I was thinking.

240
00:13:14,335 --> 00:13:17,588
And maybe some of my current classmates
are part of the same society.

241
00:13:17,671 --> 00:13:20,299
I mean, I checked Bret's side of the room,
but so far there's no sign

242
00:13:20,382 --> 00:13:22,051
of a telltale tie pin.

243
00:13:23,886 --> 00:13:25,596

338
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:39,284
You said it.

339
00:18:39,368 --> 00:18:41,578
Your chums like playing games.

340
00:18:43,831 --> 00:18:45,791
Let's give them a taste
of their own medicine.

341
00:18:49,378 --> 00:18:52,339
Aunt Cricket. We're so thrilled
you were able to join us

342
00:18:52,756 --> 00:18:54,258
and that you brought Cousin Fester.

343
00:18:54,341 --> 00:18:55,843
Well, I wanted witnesses

344
00:18:55,926 --> 00:18:58,387
so we don't go missing
the way Bedford did.

345
00:18:58,762 --> 00:18:59,638
Don't be silly.

346
00:19:00,347 --> 00:19:01,890
Dinner will be ready soon.

347
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:04,518
Can I offer you
some mulled berry wine to start?

348
00:19:06,019 --> 00:19:08,230
[oil bubbling]

349
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:18,240
-Hey, Archie.
-What's up, Eddie?

350
00:19:19,491 --> 00:19:21,118
You see those people over there?

351
00:19:22,536 --> 00:19:24,621
I've seen them before at the arcade.

352
00:19:26,623 --> 00:19:27,875
They're Dodger's family.

353
00:19:30,419 --> 00:19:31,253
What the hell?

354
00:19:31,753 --> 00:19:32,588
You sure?

355
00:19:35,799 --> 00:19:38,886
All right. Thanks for the heads-up.
Go grab a seat, I'll take care of it.

356
00:19:38,969 --> 00:19:40,304
And, hey, be cool.

357
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:53,775
I'm not sure what you're here for,
but you and your boys need to leave.

358
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:55,694
We've got kids here.
We don't want any trouble.

359
00:19:56,862 --> 00:19:58,906
We don't want any trouble either.

360
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:05,370
But we've come for the man
who tried to kill our Dodger.

361
00:20:07,122 --> 00:20:08,457
Got a feeling he's you.

362
00:20:09,708 --> 00:20:11,251
Or one of your friends.

363
00:20:11,335 --> 00:20:14,838
I swear to you,
no one here tried to hurt Dodger.

364
00:20:14,922 --> 00:20:16,215
Well, someone did.

365
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:20,219
And whoever it is,
he's got a real soft spot for this place.

366
00:20:20,636 --> 00:20:24,765
We think we hang out here long enough,
he'll show.

367
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:27,643
[Darla] In the meantime...

368
00:20:27,726 --> 00:20:31,230
how about some of that delicious food
I'm smelling?

369
00:20:32,522 --> 00:20:35,442
You guys remember back in high school
when we all used to hang out together?

370
00:20:36,151 --> 00:20:38,570
Us griping about how horrible
our parents were?

371
00:20:38,654 --> 00:20:40,489
And now we're the horrible parents.

372
00:20:42,157 --> 00:20:44,868
Fred never complained about his folks,
not once.

373
00:20:45,619 --> 00:20:48,246
And look what an amazing father
he turned out to be.

374
00:20:49,623 --> 00:20:51,917
I think we could all take a lesson
from that, huh?

375
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:52,834
Yeah.

376
00:20:54,461 --> 00:20:57,756
Hey, what say we continue
this downstairs over drinks?

377
00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:00,217
-Yes, yes.
-Huh? To toast Fred.

378
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:03,720
What do you say, FP, huh?
You're not on duty, are you?

379
00:21:07,057 --> 00:21:08,684
Why the hell not, Mr. Mayor?

380
00:21:09,309 --> 00:21:11,186
[Hermione and Hiram chuckle]

381
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:15,357
Well, considering we are trapped here
until the morning at least,

382
00:21:16,024 --> 00:21:18,652
let's say we pass the time with a game
of Never Have I Ever.

383
00:21:18,735 --> 00:21:21,488
I do love a good salacious drinking game.

384
00:21:22,406 --> 00:21:23,365
I'll start.

385
00:21:24,783 --> 00:21:27,703
Never have I ever kissed a girl.

386
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:31,290
Betty.

387
00:21:35,836 --> 00:21:37,504
Never have I ever...

388
00:21:38,547 --> 00:21:39,381
done drugs.

389
00:21:42,968 --> 00:21:46,680
Jones, I'm surprised. Isn't Riverdale
like the drug capital of the world?

390
00:21:49,016 --> 00:21:50,767
Never have I ever...

391
00:21:51,643 --> 00:21:52,644
been in a gang.

392
00:21:55,439 --> 00:21:56,273
[Donna] Really?

393
00:21:57,399 --> 00:21:58,900
But you look so sweet.

394
00:21:59,234 --> 00:22:01,528
Oh, well, I'm not as sweet
as you might think.

395
00:22:07,951 --> 00:22:10,287
Never have I ever been
in a secret society.

396
00:22:15,250 --> 00:22:17,627
Oops, looks like you lose that round,
Forsythe.

397
00:22:17,711 --> 00:22:19,296
Now you gotta finish the whole flask.

398
00:22:25,343 --> 00:22:26,344
[Betty] Time for a refill.

399
00:22:26,428 --> 00:22:28,096
I'll go get the bottle
from your room, Jug.

400
00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:17,479
Jug, I found this tie pin in Donna's room,
and it has an engraving on the back.

401
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:19,731
The initials RC.

402
00:23:20,774 --> 00:23:22,984
-What was Mr. Chipping's first name?
-Rupert.

403
00:23:23,777 --> 00:23:25,821
These are his initials.
How does Donna have this?

404
00:23:27,072 --> 00:23:29,491
Killers often take something
from their victim

405
00:23:29,574 --> 00:23:31,618
as a souvenir or trophy.

406
00:23:38,208 --> 00:23:40,001
How long can this go on for?

407
00:23:41,211 --> 00:23:42,462
We have to fight back.

408
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:45,841
No offense to your guns, Munroe,
but they have real ones.

409
00:23:45,924 --> 00:23:48,009
If I can get into the office, in my desk,

410
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:51,054
I have a drawer full of weapons
that I confiscated off the kids,

411
00:23:51,138 --> 00:23:52,055
knives, switchblades--

412
00:23:52,139 --> 00:23:53,348
Now hold on.

413
00:23:53,431 --> 00:23:55,433
I'm not sure I endorse this plan.

414
00:23:55,517 --> 00:23:58,061
Adding more weapons to the stew?
One of those kids could get hurt.

415
00:24:02,315 --> 00:24:04,317
-[Fagan] Ooh.
-[Bill] Whoo!

416
00:24:04,401 --> 00:24:05,652
[Darla] Mmm.

417
00:24:09,156 --> 00:24:10,574
-[Munroe] Malcolm!
-What you doing, runt?

418
00:24:10,949 --> 00:24:13,034
-Want this?
-Relax! He didn't know what he was doing.

419
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:14,619
Don't do it! He's just a kid.

420
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:16,163
Everyone, stay back.

421
00:24:16,580 --> 00:24:17,873
[Mary] Archie!

422
00:24:18,456 --> 00:24:19,457
That's for my brother.

423
00:24:22,502 --> 00:24:24,212
You know what I think, Carrot Top?

424
00:24:25,547 --> 00:24:27,591
I think you've got a hero complex.

425
00:24:29,342 --> 00:24:30,594
You know what else I think?

426
00:24:31,761 --> 00:24:34,639
I think you beat my boy Dodger
into a coma,

427
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:38,143
and then you called an ambulance
so no one would suspect you.

428
00:24:38,768 --> 00:24:40,687
But a mother, she knows.

429
00:24:41,688 --> 00:24:42,522
And you...

430
00:24:43,356 --> 00:24:45,775
you are gonna pay for what you've done!

431
00:24:46,985 --> 00:24:48,445
Now get your ass down!

432
00:24:58,246 --> 00:25:00,498
[oil bubbling]

433
00:25:00,582 --> 00:25:01,416
Say it.

434
00:25:02,751 --> 00:25:03,877
Say it's you.

435
00:25:04,127 --> 00:25:06,129
You're the one who almost killed my son.

436
00:25:06,213 --> 00:25:07,464
Ms. Dickenson, please...

437
00:25:08,590 --> 00:25:10,759
whatever it is that you think
you have to do, you don't.

438
00:25:10,842 --> 00:25:11,676
Say it!

439
00:25:13,511 --> 00:25:14,512
Confess, boy,

440
00:25:15,138 --> 00:25:17,641
before things start getting
real ugly in here.

441
00:25:23,230 --> 00:25:24,189
If I say it...

442
00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:27,192
you'll let everyone else here go?

443
00:25:27,275 --> 00:25:28,818
Then you can do whatever you want to me.

444
00:25:28,902 --> 00:25:29,945
I'll take that deal.

445
00:25:31,446 --> 00:25:33,198
But I need to hear you say it.

446
00:25:34,950 --> 00:25:35,784
Fine.

447
00:25:38,954 --> 00:25:40,372
[Eddie] Please, stop, stop. It's me!

448
00:25:40,872 --> 00:25:42,249
I wear the mask! I'm the dark dude!

449
00:25:42,332 --> 00:25:43,750
-Leave Archie alone!
-Eddie, shut up.

450
00:25:44,125 --> 00:25:45,043
It's not him.

451
00:25:45,126 --> 00:25:46,503
It's me! The mask is mine.

452
00:25:46,586 --> 00:25:48,421
Toby, sit down and shut up.

453
00:25:48,505 --> 00:25:49,881
I'm the guy you want.

454
00:25:49,965 --> 00:25:51,132
[Darla] That's enough!

455
00:25:52,384 --> 00:25:55,136
Now, that was a touching display.

456
00:25:55,804 --> 00:25:59,266
Hell, another day, I might've even cried.

457
00:25:59,683 --> 00:26:00,600
But not today.

458
00:26:00,976 --> 00:26:03,687
I already spilt all my tears over my son.

459
00:26:03,770 --> 00:26:04,729
And, boy,

460
00:26:05,730 --> 00:26:09,526
your mother is gonna find out exactly
what that feels like.

461
00:26:10,610 --> 00:26:12,529
[all gasp]

462
00:26:13,113 --> 00:26:15,907
Go! Get in the office! Go, go, go!

463
00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:27,002
-[screams]
-Don't even try it.

464
00:26:28,878 --> 00:26:31,006
Stop! Step away from my son!

465
00:26:31,715 --> 00:26:35,719
I have the right to protect myself
against intruders with deadly force.

466
00:26:35,802 --> 00:26:37,387
So, unless you want me to use it,

467
00:26:37,470 --> 00:26:40,724
you have exactly five seconds
to get the hell out of here.

468
00:26:41,766 --> 00:26:42,600
One...

469
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:44,644
two...

470
00:26:45,729 --> 00:26:47,272
-three...
-[groans]

471
00:26:48,398 --> 00:26:49,482
four...

472
00:26:55,238 --> 00:26:57,532
Lock the door behind them.
Let's call the police.

473
00:26:57,615 --> 00:26:58,575
Mrs. Andrews.

474
00:27:00,118 --> 00:27:01,202
I'm obsessed.

475
00:27:02,370 --> 00:27:04,331
Yeah, Mom, since when are you Dirty Harry?

476
00:27:05,957 --> 00:27:07,334
What was that explosion?

477
00:27:18,553 --> 00:27:22,515
Who in their right mind tries
to deep-fry a turkey inside?

478
00:27:26,102 --> 00:27:28,104
[jazz music playing over speakers]

479
00:27:29,981 --> 00:27:33,234
You're nursing it, FP. What's the matter?
You don't like my rum?

480
00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:34,361
[FP scoffs]

481
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,490
Well, someone's gotta be clear-headed
enough to drive the rest of you home.

482
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:42,994
FP...

483
00:27:44,371 --> 00:27:46,206
you know, I sensed
that you were upset with me

484
00:27:46,289 --> 00:27:49,459
when I asked you to shut down
Archie's community center earlier.

485
00:27:52,212 --> 00:27:55,006
Anyway, I appreciate your cooperation.

486
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:59,594
-I'm gonna make this clear, Hiram.
-FP.

487
00:27:59,677 --> 00:28:01,137
I am not your puppet.

488
00:28:01,846 --> 00:28:04,307
When I took this job,
I pledged to serve and protect Riverdale,

489
00:28:04,391 --> 00:28:05,642
not to do your bidding.

490
00:28:12,899 --> 00:28:15,235
-Why don't you settle down?
-Mm-hm.

491
00:28:15,693 --> 00:28:16,694
What's the matter?

492
00:28:17,612 --> 00:28:21,366
You put a hit out on my son, you bastard.
You think I forgot about that?

493
00:28:21,449 --> 00:28:24,119
Yeah. Is that why you tried to murder me

494
00:28:24,202 --> 00:28:26,371
at the behest of my own wife?

495
00:28:26,955 --> 00:28:27,997
[Hermione] Hiram.

496
00:28:30,625 --> 00:28:31,459
[Alice] FP!

497
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:34,504
FP.

498
00:28:36,881 --> 00:28:38,007
Finish it.

499
00:28:39,050 --> 00:28:40,218
Do it.

500
00:28:40,718 --> 00:28:42,721
-Or get the hell off me.
-FP.

501
00:28:43,304 --> 00:28:44,222
[Hiram] Come on.

502
00:28:44,305 --> 00:28:45,598
I'm not gonna do it,

503
00:28:45,682 --> 00:28:47,058
but you deserve it.

504
00:28:47,809 --> 00:28:50,645
Everyone in this room,
hell, everyone in this town,

505
00:28:50,937 --> 00:28:52,605
knows that you deserve it!

506
00:28:57,193 --> 00:28:58,111
[bottle shatters]

507
00:29:00,864 --> 00:29:04,743
[Cheryl] Whilst we all tuck
into our delicious homemade meat pies,

508
00:29:04,826 --> 00:29:07,328
might I suggest we reminisce
about some Thanksgivings of yore?

509
00:29:08,788 --> 00:29:11,207
Nana, will you regale us?

510
00:29:11,666 --> 00:29:12,500
Well...

511
00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:18,339
there is the story
of the first Blossom Thanksgiving,

512
00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:21,259
but it's a dark chapter.

513
00:29:21,634 --> 00:29:23,011
Deeply dark.

514
00:29:23,094 --> 00:29:23,928
That's fine.

515
00:29:24,220 --> 00:29:25,805
I'd love to hear more about your family,

516
00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:27,640
warts and all.

517
00:29:28,057 --> 00:29:30,101
[Nana] The weather turned,

518
00:29:30,518 --> 00:29:34,355
and the Blossom settlers were surprised by

519
00:29:35,064 --> 00:29:39,360
a sudden brutal onset of ice.

520
00:29:40,695 --> 00:29:42,322
Much like tonight.

521
00:29:42,989 --> 00:29:45,950
The wagons were snowed in, and soon after,

522
00:29:46,367 --> 00:29:48,995
the hunger set in.

523
00:29:51,372 --> 00:29:52,332
Deep.

524
00:29:53,958 --> 00:29:55,460
Aching.

525
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:58,129
Gnawing.

526
00:29:59,088 --> 00:30:04,177
Stomachs groaning so loud,
they drowned out the wind until...

527
00:30:04,928 --> 00:30:06,095
Until what, Nana?

528
00:30:08,598 --> 00:30:11,392
The Blossoms turned on one another.

529
00:30:12,352 --> 00:30:14,437
They had to eat their own.

530
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:16,564
Survive...

531
00:30:17,690 --> 00:30:20,068
on Blossom flesh.

532
00:30:20,735 --> 00:30:21,736
[Fester gulps]

533
00:30:23,238 --> 00:30:25,532
Do you mean... cannibalism?

534
00:30:27,283 --> 00:30:31,120
Why, I can only imagine what a scandal
like that would do to our family name,

535
00:30:31,663 --> 00:30:34,374
especially if it were to come out
right as Aunt Cricket were attempting

536
00:30:34,457 --> 00:30:36,459
to negotiate a sale
for our maple business.

537
00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:40,588
Please. No one would believe that snuff.

538
00:30:40,672 --> 00:30:42,215
I wouldn't be so sure of that.

539
00:30:42,715 --> 00:30:45,677
We Blossoms have always been
highly carnivorous.

540
00:30:46,469 --> 00:30:47,303
I mean...

541
00:30:48,429 --> 00:30:50,390
I ate my brother Julian in the womb.

542
00:30:51,724 --> 00:30:54,686
And you're eating those meat pies
we prepared especially for you.

543
00:30:56,271 --> 00:30:57,981
[grunts] My tooth.

544
00:31:00,567 --> 00:31:01,651
What on earth?

545
00:31:04,946 --> 00:31:05,780
[Cricket] What...?

546
00:31:06,531 --> 00:31:07,991
Is this Uncle Bedford's ring?

547
00:31:10,326 --> 00:31:11,327
What does this mean?

548
00:31:11,411 --> 00:31:13,162
It means, Aunt Cricket...

549
00:31:13,955 --> 00:31:15,957
that you're welcome to search the house.

550
00:31:16,583 --> 00:31:18,334
It means that Uncle Bedford...

551
00:31:19,294 --> 00:31:20,628
will never be found.

552
00:31:21,045 --> 00:31:23,339
It means that any evidence
he was ever here...

553
00:31:25,174 --> 00:31:28,636
is in the process of being... digested.

554
00:31:30,930 --> 00:31:32,056
In other words...

555
00:31:32,557 --> 00:31:34,142
I think you know what it means.

556
00:31:35,101 --> 00:31:35,935
You...

557
00:31:36,394 --> 00:31:37,353
You're bluffing.

558
00:31:37,854 --> 00:31:42,275
Not even you are deranged enough to commit
such an unspeakable abomination.

559
00:31:42,817 --> 00:31:43,860
On the contrary.

560
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,156
[gasps] Which reminds me,
it's time for dessert.

561
00:31:48,531 --> 00:31:49,365
Tee-Tee?

562
00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:51,659
[Fester screams]

563
00:31:52,327 --> 00:31:53,870
[Cheryl] Face facts, Aunt Cricket.

564
00:31:53,953 --> 00:31:57,498
You and Cousin Fester have just committed
a vile act of cannibalism,

565
00:31:57,582 --> 00:31:59,500
which is illegal in this state.

566
00:32:00,043 --> 00:32:01,878
So, unless you want the world
to learn as much,

567
00:32:01,961 --> 00:32:04,339
you will leave us the hell alone.

568
00:32:04,672 --> 00:32:07,175
You do not knock on my door.
You do not harass my girlfriend.

569
00:32:07,258 --> 00:32:10,928
You do not ask me to sell off
my Blossom legacy ever again.

570
00:32:11,429 --> 00:32:12,263
Are we clear?

571
00:32:13,431 --> 00:32:16,684
Now, would you like me to pack up
the rest of Bedford for you in Tupperware?

572
00:32:17,477 --> 00:32:18,686
[gagging]

573
00:32:19,979 --> 00:32:20,855
Fester!

574
00:32:22,690 --> 00:32:25,276
-[door opens, then closes]
-[Cheryl giggles]

575
00:32:31,908 --> 00:32:34,202
There you two are.
We thought you'd been murdered.

576
00:32:34,744 --> 00:32:36,621
No dice on the booze, I see.

577
00:32:36,704 --> 00:32:38,039
Not a drop to be found.

578
00:32:38,915 --> 00:32:41,668
But I say we keep playing the game,
and I'll go next.

579
00:32:42,293 --> 00:32:45,296
Never have I ever tried
to cover up a murder.

580
00:32:48,841 --> 00:32:52,095
Oh, you guys are just so cool.
You know that?

581
00:32:53,346 --> 00:32:56,224
You're never breaking a sweat,
never betraying an emotion.

582
00:32:56,933 --> 00:33:00,019
Hell, writing fake suicide notes,
how cool is that?

583
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,482
But you guys aren't as devious
as you think.

584
00:33:04,565 --> 00:33:07,777
Otherwise, you wouldn't have left
incriminating evidence,

585
00:33:07,860 --> 00:33:10,405
like Mr. Chipping's tie pin.

586
00:33:11,072 --> 00:33:12,699
You went into my room?

587
00:33:12,782 --> 00:33:15,326
It was an accident.
I mean, all the doors look the same.

588
00:33:15,410 --> 00:33:17,370
[Jughead] Between the suicide note
and the tie pin,

589
00:33:17,453 --> 00:33:20,289
you two are trying to cover up something
about Mr. Chipping's suicide.

590
00:33:20,748 --> 00:33:21,708
Or was it a murder?

591
00:33:22,417 --> 00:33:23,251
Care to explain?

592
00:33:24,752 --> 00:33:25,878
You were there, Jones.

593
00:33:26,629 --> 00:33:27,672
You saw him jump.

594
00:33:28,214 --> 00:33:29,632
No one pushed him out that window.

595
00:33:29,716 --> 00:33:31,009
Not physically.

596
00:33:32,135 --> 00:33:35,221
But psychologically, Mr. Chipping could've
been pushed to the edge.

597
00:33:43,438 --> 00:33:44,272
Donna.

598
00:33:45,565 --> 00:33:49,235
How? Where... did you get this?
We just wanna know the truth.

599
00:33:49,610 --> 00:33:51,279
Mr. Chipping gave it to me, okay?

600
00:33:51,362 --> 00:33:52,613
We were having an affair.

601
00:33:59,662 --> 00:34:00,997
I knew it was wrong,

602
00:34:01,664 --> 00:34:04,500
and I didn't want anybody
to get into trouble,

603
00:34:04,584 --> 00:34:06,544
so I tried to break it off with him.

604
00:34:08,463 --> 00:34:10,715
But then he got aggressive.

605
00:34:10,798 --> 00:34:12,550
I was so scared.

606
00:34:12,633 --> 00:34:16,304
I told him if he didn't stop,
I'd go to the headmaster, and then...

607
00:34:18,264 --> 00:34:20,224
the next day, he jumped out the window.

608
00:34:23,311 --> 00:34:26,230
I can't live my life
doing Hiram's bidding, Alice.

609
00:34:27,398 --> 00:34:30,401
I'm not cut out for it.
There's too much blood on the tracks.

610
00:34:31,319 --> 00:34:34,781
-I hear you.
-I am a Serpent, Alice. I'm a Serpent.

611
00:34:36,574 --> 00:34:39,035
Every bone in my body is a Serpent.

612
00:34:41,037 --> 00:34:44,123
Okay. So, is there a rule that says
that you can't be both?

613
00:34:50,963 --> 00:34:52,173
That's not bad.

614
00:34:53,966 --> 00:34:55,968
If Hiram can be mayor and a kingpin,

615
00:34:56,052 --> 00:34:58,012
who says that I can't be sheriff...

616
00:34:58,805 --> 00:34:59,764
and a gang leader?

617
00:35:03,935 --> 00:35:04,977
[Alice chuckles]

618
00:35:09,649 --> 00:35:11,109
How are you feeling, my love?

619
00:35:13,903 --> 00:35:15,655
I think, relieved.

620
00:35:17,281 --> 00:35:20,034
Am I crazy, or did we just manage
to pull our plan off?

621
00:35:20,535 --> 00:35:21,369
The latter.

622
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:25,581
By morning,
Sweetwater River will have frozen over,

623
00:35:25,665 --> 00:35:27,834
and Aunt Cricket
and Cousin Fester will be back

624
00:35:27,917 --> 00:35:30,294
in whatever ring of hell
they typically inhabit,

625
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,756
digesting those yummy Iamb meat pies.

626
00:35:35,216 --> 00:35:38,177
And Uncle Bedford's name
will never be spoken aloud again.

627
00:35:39,470 --> 00:35:41,430
I do feel some kind of peace,

628
00:35:42,223 --> 00:35:43,516
in some weird way.

629
00:35:44,725 --> 00:35:46,853
We defended our home
from hostile invaders.

630
00:35:48,563 --> 00:35:50,731
And for the rest of the weekend,

631
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:53,109
we have nothing to worry about
but ourselves.

632
00:35:57,572 --> 00:36:00,741
And... something I haven't yet said.

633
00:36:06,539 --> 00:36:07,456
I love you...

634
00:36:08,291 --> 00:36:10,334
and I'm so grateful to you.

635
00:36:11,002 --> 00:36:12,503
Yeah, I love you, too, babe.

636
00:36:14,755 --> 00:36:16,174
And happy Thanksgiving.

637
00:36:27,226 --> 00:36:28,561
I'm just so confused.

638
00:36:29,312 --> 00:36:31,272
This whole time,
Mr. Chipping was the bad guy?

639
00:36:31,355 --> 00:36:33,858
It wasn't Bret or Mr. DuPont?

640
00:36:34,984 --> 00:36:36,152
And poor Donna...

641
00:36:37,862 --> 00:36:41,032
I'm not so sure
that Donna isn't playing us, Jug.

642
00:36:41,490 --> 00:36:44,619
What do you mean?
Are you saying she made all of that up?

643
00:36:44,702 --> 00:36:46,913
Well, I don't wanna say that
because there's a possibility

644
00:36:46,996 --> 00:36:48,664
that they had a harrowing affair.

645
00:36:50,499 --> 00:36:55,212
But there's a possibility
in which the story that she told me

646
00:36:55,713 --> 00:36:59,342
was just to stall us from uncovering
the real truth.

647
00:37:01,802 --> 00:37:04,764
You should just talk
to your headmaster, Jug.

648
00:37:05,598 --> 00:37:08,726
I mean, get it on his radar that something
weird is happening at this school.

649
00:37:08,809 --> 00:37:10,728
Yeah. That's a good idea.

650
00:37:11,395 --> 00:37:12,230
I will.

651
00:37:14,607 --> 00:37:17,443
Hey, I was thinking maybe, if the storm
clears up by tomorrow morning,

652
00:37:17,526 --> 00:37:18,986
that we can go home for the weekend.

653
00:37:19,070 --> 00:37:21,113
Sure. In the meantime, how...?

654
00:37:21,364 --> 00:37:23,115
How will we stay warm tonight?

655
00:37:26,577 --> 00:37:27,745
[Betty giggling]

656
00:37:34,210 --> 00:37:35,920
Before we start...

657
00:37:36,712 --> 00:37:39,590
we were never
a particularly religious house,

658
00:37:40,549 --> 00:37:42,593
but the one thing we always did,

659
00:37:43,010 --> 00:37:45,680
the one thing
my husband always liked to do

660
00:37:46,097 --> 00:37:48,474
when we sat down together
to eat as a family,

661
00:37:49,308 --> 00:37:50,393
was to say grace.

662
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:53,187
He believed in that.

663
00:37:54,605 --> 00:37:56,732
Archie, would you do the honors?

664
00:37:57,441 --> 00:37:58,276
Yeah.

665
00:38:02,571 --> 00:38:06,367
Bless us, O Lord, for these, the gifts,
which we are about to receive.

666
00:38:07,159 --> 00:38:09,328
For this day, for this food,

667
00:38:09,870 --> 00:38:13,374
for our family, for our friends,
we thank you. Amen.

668
00:38:13,833 --> 00:38:15,126
-[Veronica] Amen.
-Amen.

669
00:38:15,209 --> 00:38:16,294
And then he would say...

670
00:38:17,837 --> 00:38:18,838
Dig in, everyone.

671
00:38:19,088 --> 00:38:21,507
I'm grateful to be alive
and to be here with you.

672
00:38:32,435 --> 00:38:33,602
What's this about, sheriff?

673
00:38:33,686 --> 00:38:36,063
Dodger Dickenson's family is at-large
and dangerous.

674
00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:39,233
And we have reason to believe they might
try to get to him before they skip town.

675
00:38:39,317 --> 00:38:41,736
Well, we monitor our patients
fairly closely.

676
00:38:45,197 --> 00:38:47,158
Well, not closely enough, huh, doc?

677
00:38:51,620 --> 00:38:53,080
Ah. Excuse me, headmaster?

678
00:38:54,832 --> 00:38:56,167
[inaudible dialogue]

679
00:39:05,801 --> 00:39:06,844
[Jughead] What's that all about?

680
00:39:08,304 --> 00:39:11,348
Donna came clean to the headmaster
about her affair with Chipping.

681
00:39:12,058 --> 00:39:14,143
How he basically abused and harassed her.

682
00:39:16,062 --> 00:39:19,190
She was trying to protect his family,
prevent any further pain,

683
00:39:19,273 --> 00:39:22,401
but after Betty broke into her room,

684
00:39:22,485 --> 00:39:25,780
Donna felt like she had no choice
but to talk to the authorities

685
00:39:25,863 --> 00:39:28,616
about all the awful things
Chipping did to her.

686
00:39:30,951 --> 00:39:33,788
Well, I guess there's no doubt
about it anymore.

687
00:39:34,914 --> 00:39:36,540
Chipping's death was a suicide,

688
00:39:37,333 --> 00:39:39,460
driven by a guilty man's fear of exposure.

689
00:39:43,756 --> 00:39:45,299
Case closed, Detective Jones.

690
00:40:13,619 --> 00:40:15,621
[playing ballad]

691
00:40:25,172 --> 00:40:26,006
Archie?

692
00:40:28,551 --> 00:40:31,637
Yesterday was, without a doubt,

693
00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:34,014
the strangest Thanksgiving I've ever had.

694
00:40:34,932 --> 00:40:37,518
I mean, I pointed a gun at a woman.

695
00:40:37,893 --> 00:40:39,562
Welcome to Riverdale, Mom.

696
00:40:41,272 --> 00:40:45,067
Yeah, it's a far cry from me, you and Dad
eating fried turkey and watching football.

697
00:40:46,819 --> 00:40:49,989
He never made it past the third quarter.
He fell asleep on the couch.

698
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:57,413
You know, I've been thinking about
that deep fryer exploding when it did.

699
00:40:58,539 --> 00:41:00,291
I mean, what are the odds of that?

700
00:41:01,125 --> 00:41:03,961
-That saved us, Archie.
-Yeah, we got lucky, Mom.

701
00:41:04,044 --> 00:41:05,880
No, that wasn't luck.

702
00:41:06,797 --> 00:41:08,591
That was your dad watching out for us.

703
00:41:11,135 --> 00:41:11,969
I think you're right.

704
00:41:13,345 --> 00:41:14,680
And that gives me an idea.

705
00:41:16,015 --> 00:41:18,017
[applause]

706
00:41:29,945 --> 00:41:30,863
What do you think, Mom?

707
00:41:31,489 --> 00:41:33,657
Your father never would've believed this.

708
00:41:34,408 --> 00:41:36,410
Everything you've been building here.

709
00:41:37,745 --> 00:41:38,704
All of you.

710
00:41:40,122 --> 00:41:41,081
He'd be honored...

711
00:41:42,666 --> 00:41:43,626
and so proud.
