[Veronica] Previously on
Riverdale...

How many times are we
gonna push each other away?

[Betty] I know about
the webcam-ing.

Can you show me
how to do that?

Serpent law says you
can't hurt one of your own.

No! No!

How did the Uktena evolve
into the Serpents?

We didn't evolve,
we were all slaughtered
by General Pickens.

You interviewed my grandfather
for a history report,

not some half-assed
newspaper article.

I think we can all be
proud to live in a Riverdale

where young people
stand up for justice.

Let me tell you something
about Veronica's parents

and the way they do business.

Isn't this something
the Serpents would do?

[Hiram] As long as you're
dating Veronica,

I'm going to demand
the best from you.

How would you like to
start your business tutelage

under my shepherding?

[Jughead] It's a classic trope
of mob movies.

Rich, high-rolling gangster
takes small town kid

under his wing.

-Here you go, Archie.
-Thanks, Pop.

[Jughead] Small town kid

is ushered into
an intoxicating

but dangerous life of crime.

[Hiram into phone] No, Poppa,
you don't need to travel

with your own chef,

we have excellent poutine
right here in Riverdale.

Because I've tasted it
and it's superb.

Hey, run this
to your dad's trailer.

And then pick up some loafers

I had resoled
at the Shoe Doctor on Main.

Happy to, Mr. Lodge.

-There he is.
-Sorry, Dad.

Sorry, guys. Mr. Lodge
has me running all over town.

Stick around.
I've got the truck.

I'll give you a ride home.
I'm done here in 20 minutes.

I've got my bike.

And I still gotta pick up
his shoes, but I'll see you.

Ronnie...

[Veronica] That hem '3
high enough, Terry.

It's a confirmation,
not a sock-hop.

[Veronica] Usually, it happens
when you're 12 or 13,

but my parents wanted

the same monsignor
who baptized me.

Monsignor Murphy,
he's a friend of the family,

to confirm me, as well.

Wow, so this is
a big deal, then?

It is. Especially to
my mom and dad.

And, well, my whole family.

A lot of them
are coming in for it.

So, do you have to...
memorize stuff?

During the ceremony, Monsignor
will ask me to renounce Satan,

which, of course I will.

But otherwise, you mostly
do things in advance.

Like picking a sponsor.
I asked my abuelita.

And performing
charitable works.

I'm volunteering
at a soup kitchen,

if you'd care to join me.

[Hiram] There she is.

Let me take a look at you

[Hiram gasps]

My beautiful daughter,
confirmed

in front of my family...
Our family.

Oh, mija,
you've made me the happiest

and the proudest father alive.

[clears throat]
What do you think, Archie?

Isn't she a miracle?

She is.

She definitely is.

[knocking at door]

Sheriff Keller,
what a surprise.

Jughead. FP.

Sorry to bother you. It's...

We don't have
General Pickens' head,

and we do not
know who stole it.

Same as the last four times

you came by to ask us
and our neighbors.

[Jughead] You know, Sheriff,
these visits

are starting to feel
a lot like harassment.

There's absolutely no evidence.

Zero proof whatsoever

pointing to any
particular group of suspects.

Well, you did write
a rather scathing article

about the General's legacy,

which prompted the Southside
Serpents to stop by

at Pickens' Day
with an ax to grind.

I'm actually writing
a new article

about how you seem
to care more about

catching a vandal
than the Black Hood.

Can I get a quote?

[chuckles]

[man on cam] Do I look good?

-[Betty] Mmm-hmm.
-Can I undress for you?

[Betty] Yeah.

I love talking to you.

[Betty] I like talking
to you too.

-Can we meet sometime?
-[Betty] Maybe.

[doorknob turns]

[Alice] Betty?

What's going on in there?

Why is the door locked?

You know how I feel
about locked doors.

Yeah, you're the one who
likes to do the locking.

I heard voices.
Who were you talking to?

Jughead. He had some
questions about homework.

Now can I finish
getting dressed, please?

Well, I--

[bell rings]

[Veronica] I already
invited Archie,

but I want you guys
to be there, as well.

Usually these kinds of events,

baptisms, confirmations
are family-only,

but since it's all about me

and you guys are my
chosen family,

I pulled a few strings
and reserved you a pew.

What is the dress code?

Catholic chic. So, dresses
for the girls, veils optional.

And coats and ties
for the boys.

[Weatherbee on PA]
Jughead Jones
and Betty Cooper,

please report
to the principal's office.

Jughead Jones and Betty Cooper
to the principal's office.

[Weatherbee]
Since your article
attacking General Pickens

among others has come out,

it's been a steady stream
of outrage.

Most recently,

Hiram Lodge's lawyer,

a Mr. Sowerberry has called

saying his client's considering

legal action against
the Blue and Gold.

On what grounds?

Defamation of character,
Mr. Jones.

Effective immediately,

you are both suspended
from the newspaper's staff.

You have the day to clean
out your personal things.

[Jughead] I'm so sorry, Betty.

I don't care if
they harass me at home

or school, but you...

You don't deserve this heat.

Who's harassing you at home?

Sheriff Keller.
He has no proof,

but he suspects
one or more of the Serpents,

probably me, decapitated the
statue of General Pickens.

And did you?

Betty, how...

Why would I decapitate
a bronze statue?

Maybe the same reason
you wrote that article.

To avenge Toni's grandfather.

I mean,
you and Toni are close.

Sure.

-We're pals.
-Close pals.

I saw you guys at Pop's

early one morning,

in the middle of
the Black Hood attacks.

You were having breakfast,

and you seemed
like more than pals.

And I know
it's not my place to ask,

but did anything
ever happen between you two?

Yeah.

The night of the Gauntlet,

after you sent Archie
to break up with me,

Toni stayed over. [sighs]

She gave me a...

Tattoo.

And we did some stuff,
but not everything.

Uh-huh.

But since you brought it up,

have you done anything with
anyone since we broke up?

No.

No.

Of course not.

[Veronica] Ooh-Ia-Ial

-|s that for me?
-It is.

It's a confirmation present

from the St. Clairs,
of all people.

Why would they think they
have the right to do that

after everything
that went down between us?

It's what families
in our business do.

Even when we're at war,
we give gifts.

To show respect.

Or, in this case,
to try and make amends.

Well, whatever it is,
feel free to burn
or regift it.

Veronica...

Simone St. Clair called
to follow up on this gift.

She said that Archie
paid Nick an unfriendly visit.

Is that true?

Sorry to keep making you
double-check everything, Pop.

It's more to make sure
I got it right.

Mr. Lodge's special orders
can get pretty complicated.

No problem, Archie.

After all, he's the boss.

What do you mean by that, Pop?

[cell phone chimes]

Crap!

[Archie] You cannotjust show
up at my house like this.

I haven't heard
from you in a while.

I've been calling and texting.

There's been nothing to report.

You don't think
your girlfriend's confirmation

is worth a mention?

No, why would it be?

Our sources are telling us

Hiram Lodge's family
is coming to it.

And by that,
I mean his crime family.

I need you to be my eyes and
ears at that event, Archie.

-[sighs]
-What?

Is there a problem?

It's my girlfriend's
confirmation.

It's a big deal to her.

I want to be there for
Veronica, not the FBI.

Unfortunately, Archie,

you'll have to be there
for us both.

[rap music playing]

Sheriff Keller,

we have to stop
meeting like this.

Where's your dad at?

Had a shift at Pop's. Why?

It's an eviction notice.

You, your dad, pretty much
everyone in this place,

you all got to clear out.

What?

Don't tell me this is because
of that statue?

For the millionth time,
Sheriff,

we did not decapitate
General Pickens.

And you can't use that
as some trumped-up excuse

to try and evict all of us.

Look, I'm just
the messenger, all right?

This order comes down
from the mayor's office.

Apparently, there's a lot of
back rent owed here.

You have 14 days to vacate.

Then perhaps while
you're packing,

you might
come across that head.

Calm the waters a little.

Sierra and Josie
are here to--

Offer an apology
after Pickens Day.

I had misgivings

about some of the decisions
your parents were making.

That was wrong
and inappropriate.

[Hermione] Oh, these are
stressful times, Sierra.

And neither Veronica
nor I hold any grudges.

[Veronica] Not at all.

In fact, I would love it

if you'd both come
to my confirmation.

Veronica, Hermione,
we accept your invitation.

That makes giving you your
gift that much easier.

Josie?

If you'll have me,

I'd be honored to sing
at your confirmation,
Veronica.

-No, you don't have to
-That's a lovely idea, Josie,

-we accept.
-But, Mom, I was gonna sing.

Or we could do a duet.

Do you know
"Bitter Sweet Symphony"

from the Cruel Intentions
soundtrack?

I can learn it.

but I swear to you...
No one is goin' anywhere.

But the heat's been on us
since Pickens Day

and they're using
that damn statue

as an excuse to turn it up.

But if we're gonna fix this,
I gotta ask:

Is anyone
in this room responsible

for cutting off Pickens' head?

[Tall Boy] Why don't you
ask your son

what he has to say?

What is your problem
with me, Tall Boy?

You wrote the article
that started this mess.

You and your posse

fired the opening shot
at Pickens Day.

It was a peaceful protest,
Turncoat.

That accomplished nothing.

So what's to say that
you and your boyfriend

didn't go back that night
with a ladder and hacksaw

Hey! We didn't do it.

Hell, Tall Boy, you're
the tallest guy in this room.

You wouldn't even
need a ladder.

Jughead... Tall Boy,

the last thing
we need right now

is to turn on each other.

Hey... We'll find
a way out of this.

[Hiram] I heard a rumor...

That you paid
Nick St. Clair a visit.

And roughed him up a bit.

Uh...

The thing is, Mr. Lodge, I...

When I found out
about what Nick
tried to do with Veronica,

ljust... I got

so angry.

But still.

Beating up on a kid,

even a filthy animal
like Nick St. Clair

while his legs are in casts...

I'm...

Impressed.

No.

I respect a man that will go
to such extremes

to send a message.

And I'm relieved that
Veronica has someone

so fiercely protective.

Of course, sir, always.

I have some out-of-town guests
coming in

for Veronica's confirmation.

I'm hosting a poker game
at Pop's the night before.

I'll need a couple extra
hands to help.

Someone I can trust.

You know... To keep
the drinks filled

and the cigars cut.

Are you interested?

Absolutely.

Sir, I'll be there.

[clattering]

Chic? Is that you?

[footsteps descending]

Uh... Who are you?
Where's Chic?

I'm Ben,
Chic will be right down.

See ya.

Hey, what's going on?

I thought you had
a job interview today.

I did. That was Ben.

He works concessions
at the Bijou.

Pretty sure I got the job.

Well, I thought he might've
been one of your clients.

Never... I'd never tell
those guys where I live.

And don't you
do it either, ever.

-I wouldn't.
-Good.

Boundaries are key.
They'll keep you alive.

[Jughead] This witch-hunt
has to end, Mayor.

The Serpents had nothing
to do with that beheading.

You know that
and in the meantime,

you're gonna tighten
the screws,

you'll send Sheriff Keller
to sow seeds of unrest,

threaten to take
our homes away?

Since when do you care about
the statue of a murderer?

Since Governor Dooley called
and read me the Riot Act.

That statue cost him
a lot of money.

He's furious.

And you're supposed
to be an ally, Mayor McCoy.

So why are you doing this?
Unless it's...

Who's pulling your strings?

Is it Hiram Lodge?

You're a bright kid, Jughead.

I've always liked you.

So listen to what
I'm telling you...

[sternly] Back down!

What do you mean my dad
invited you to his poker game?

No, not to play, just to,

like, serve drinks
and bus tables and cut cigars.

-Whatever that means.
-But those games are private.

Daddy's inner-inner-circle.

Well, I guess I'm in.

Unless there's a reason
why I shouldn't go?

Come here. Excuse me.

This floating poker game
is a long-standing tradition.

It's been happening
for decades.

It's incredibly high stakes,
in every sense of the word.

You're going to have to be
extremely careful

around these other players.

Okay? I just don't want
you to get hurt.

Why would I get hurt?

I thought these guys were
close friends and relatives?

They are, but
[whispers] they're like Daddy.

They're old school.

Industry titans
you don't want to cross.

Just promise me,
you'll play it safe.

Ronnie, I'm refilling
water glasses,

I don't think there's
anything to worry about.

[Jughead] Thank you
for meeting with me.

You're the only person
in this town

that I can talk to about
something like this.

Before you do, can ljust

point out one thing?

I know what
you're going to say.

Last time the Serpents and l
were in trouble,

I pushed you away.

What do you need, Jug?

Mayor McCoy thinks
the Serpents were the ones

who vandalized the statue
of General Pickens.

And now, suddenly,
we have 14 days

to vacate
Sunnyside Trailer Park.

What... That's illegal.

Technically,
the trailer park's
on town property.

And not everyone
has paid their rent.

Well, so, let's go talk
to Mayor McCoy.

ldid.

She's making this all about
the beheaded statue

and really
it's just a pretense

to shut us up
and get us out.

If the statue's
what's fueling her fire,

then let's take away the gas.

"The Case of
the Decapitated Statue."

Let's treat it like
a missing person's case.

Someone, somewhere,
must've seen something.

So, we'll canvas the town
with reward flyers

for anyone who has information.

Finding that head
and who did it

would really take the wind
out of Mayor McCoy's sails.

So...

Find the head,
save the trailer park.

You invited Archie to work
your Casino Royale?

Aren't you worried
he's gonna find out

all our family secrets?

Business isn't discussed
when the family gathers

for such sacred celebrations
as your confirmation.

You always have
an agenda, Daddy.

What is it this time?

After hearing about how Archie

took initiative
with Nick St. Clair,

I wanted to see how
he'd handle himself

in a room of my peers.

Yes, but why?

He's your boyfriend, mija,

And if this relationship
of yours persists,

at some point,

we may need
to bring Archie in.

I thought outsiders weren't
brought in to the family.

Not traditionally, no.

But Archie, he may be more like
us than I gave him credit for.

No, he's not.

And I'm not sure
I want him

to be... compromised.

I see.

But if things keep
going as they have been,

you're gonna have to
make a decision.

Either we bring him in,

or he stays on
the outside, forever.

[Jughead] All right,
order of the Ophidians.

[Penny] Jughead Jones.

Did you really think
you'd see the last of me?

What's the Snake Charmer
doing here?

Dad?

No, I brought her in,
to help us.

We don't need
Penny's kind of help.

You don't get a say anymore.

Since you broke Serpent law
and hurt one of our own kind.

Penny was about
to tell your dad.

Show him, Penny.

Show 'em all.

That used to be
my Serpent tattoo,

until your son sliced
a chunk outta my arm

and left me bleeding
in a ditch in Greendale.

But I'm still willing
to help the Serpents.

Tall Boy showed me
those eviction notices.

They're legit.

Luckily, I can think of about
41 ways to stall the process.

And I'm talking years.

What's your price, Penny?

Blood for blood.

An eye for an eye.

I want back in
with the Serpents

and I want him kicked out.

Oh, yeah, one last thing...

I want his tattoo carved off.

And I want to do it myself.

With a dirty knife.

[door opens]

Well? What did they say?
Are they kicking me out?

There's gonna be a vote.

You versus Penny.

Me versus...

What, they can't see
what we get?

With Penny in the picture?

Penny's a cobra,

but mutilating her?

That's the kind of thing you
don't come back from, Jug.

Yeah, like stuffing
a teenager's body
in a freezer?

You need to learn to keep
your damn mouth shut.

Tall Boy was right.

You brought the Northside
down on us.

Serpents are losing their dens
because of what you wrote.

Don't kid yourself.

You're using my article.

And they're using
what happened to the statue
of General Pickens

as an excuse
to justify something

they've already been doing.

You think you're a hero, Jug?

Cutting up women?

Bringing the temple down
right on our damn heads?

You... will be
the death of us.

Not the Northside, not Penny.

You.

Are you out
of your freaking mind?

I'm not wearing a wire.

Archie, this poker game...

All the kingpins,
together in one room.

We've never managed
to get anyone close enough

to them to hear and
record what they discuss.

Okay, hear, yes.
Record, no.

You afraid we might
capture something

that implicates your father?

Or Veronica?

I'm the one taking
the risk here,

Agent Adams, not you.

We're doing this
on my terms.

No wire.

[Hal] I told you, Alice,

either Chic goes or I go.

Chic isn't hurting anyone.

And he just got a job.
Where was it, Betty?

-At the Bijou.
-At the Bijou.

And he's offered to pay rent.
So, what's your beef with him?

He's a stranger,
that's my beef.

So? Make an effort.
Get to know him.

Yeah, please, Dad.

Can you just try?

Why don't you guys
call me when he's gone?

In the meantime,

I'll be at a ShareBNB
down by the Register.

Fine, Hal, do what you want.

[bell tolling]

[Veronica] Forgive me, Father,
for I have sinned.

It's been some time
since my last confession.

The Bible says
gossiping's a sin.

If that's true... Guilty.

Also, I admit to being,
on occasion,

disrespectful to my parents.

But what I'm most worried
about is...

That I'm doing
something terrible

to a person I love.

Not only am I
constantly lying to him...

Or, more accurately,
withholding the truth.

I fear I'm leading him
down an unrighteous path.

Monsignor,

as someone who's
known my family

for longer than
I've been alive,

I hope you understand
my concern.

I do, my child.

And I pray
you can offer some advice.

Ten Hail Marys,
five Our Fathers.

[laughing]

Veronica,

how did your confession
with the Monsignor go?

[Veronica] To be honest, Tia,

I don't know if he
gave me much peace of mind.

[Tia] Me, Igo to
Our Lady of Grace every day.

I light a candle and I put in
my requests to the Almighty.

Terry, how many glasses
is that?

-Requests for what?
-[Tia laughs]

For protection.

Our husbands?
The risks they take.

Every day they come home
in one piece, it's a miracle.

Mmm. For me,
I pray for forgiveness.

I have everything.

My husband... Your uncle,

he's good to me.
And so I pray for him.

And for me.
And for the kids.

And I also give to charities.
It helps me sleep at night.

You have to find
your thing, Veronica.

Was that your boyfriend
who came by
the other day, Veronica?

-It was.
-Ah!

His name's Archie Andrews.

And do we know him?
His family?

[Hermione] He's a local boy.

An, uh, inocente.

[Abuelita speaking Spanish]

[Hiram laughs]
Full house,

aces over sixes.

You're on a lucky streak,
Hiram.

That, or
he's cheating us, Carl.

Kid's got hustle.

What's your name, Red?

-Archie Andrews.
-Archie,
this is Lenny Kowalski.

Lenny runs canned meat
out of Chicago.

They call me "The Butcher."

He's pulling your leg, kid.
No one calls him that.

Carl Martin,
of Martin Brewery.

Finest beer in the Rust Belt.

I wouldn't say the finest.

And this charming fellow
is Poppa Poutine.

He owns a chain of hot dog
restaurants in Quebec,

which is why
you never heard of him.

How's SoDale
coming along there, Hiram?

Right on schedule?

Ah, no business talk, remember?

Hey, kid,
what was your name again?

Archie. Archie Andrews.

Andrews, right.

Hiram... Doesn't your wife
know a guy named Andrews?

Yeah, she does.

Fred Andrews is one
of our business associates.

Was that your decision
to make him a partner...
Or hers?

[Hiram] Smells delicious, Pop.

Don't get a chance
to make poutine very often.

I hope you enjoy it.

[Poppa spits]

The hell is this?

Those aren't cheese curds!

I ordered poutine!
This is vomit!

-You own this dump?
-[Hiram] No.

I own it.

Now apologize.

Apologize? For what?

For disrespecting Pop Tate.

I'm gonna go out
and get a little fresh air.

This place is a dive.

I'm sorry, Pop.

If you'll excuse my guest's
lack of social graces.

[Andre] Toilet's clogged.

[Andre sighs]

Enjoy your steak.

Ah, God.

[exhales in disgust]

[Poppa] Lodge is a problem.

[Lenny] Mmm-hmm.

[Poppa] He lost his mojo
in the joint.

Went soft in the head
and in the belly.

Others, back home,
feel the same way.

[Poppa] Lodge is getting
sloppy too.

And that whole
St. Clair kid thing?

Exactly. Going after someone's
kid in such a blatant way?

Who does that?

[Poppa] Ah...
And partnering up
with the man

who's been messin' around
with your wife?

He's weak.

This is our chance, Lenny.

You think he should
be removed?

Right after
his daughter's confirmation.

I'll do it myself.

Do you,
Veronica Cecilia Lodge,

renounce Satan
and all evil works?

And do you walk
in the light of the Lord?

I do.

[pop music playing]

What a beautiful service.

Sierra, how kind.

You can put that
with the rest of the gifts.

No, this one's for you.

The sale's been finalized.

You're now the proud owners

of what was previously
Southside High.

Congratulations.

And to you, Madam Mayor.

[inaudible]

Betty, you mind
if I steal my man?

It's time for Archie
to meet my abuelita.

Of course. I'm gonna
go look for Jug, anyway.

Come on, Archie.

[Veronica speaking Spanish]

Hello, Abuelita.
It's an honor to meet you.

-Ah. So handsome. Hello.
-[Archie chuckles]

-Ow.
-[Abue|ita speaking Spanish]

Thank you.

[Betty] Hey.

It's not like
Jughead Jones
to neglect a free buffet.

[snickers] You okay?

No, it's the Serpents.

They're meeting to decide if
I'm getting kicked out or not.

What, why are they doing that?

I broke a code,
I messed up bad.

Really bad.

There's this person
who suckered me
into delivering drugs.

And my dad, too,

he got roped in.

So, couple of Serpents
and I, we...

Found her,

grabbed her,

and I cut her.

Cut her?

The worst part is,

none of it even matters.

'Cause she's back.

It's like every decision
I've made since we broke up,

including our break up,
just makes things
worse and worse.

[cell phone ringing]

[Jughead sighs]

Hello.

Yes, it is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're the ones
who put up the flyers.

Okay, yeah.
We can be right there.

[music playing]

Thanks for being here today.

I really needed
to see your face.

You're my beacon in the night.

Hey, Archie,
mind if I cut in?

No, sir, of course not,
Mr. Lodge.

Daddy... I've been thinking.

I don't want Archie
brought into this.

This life... Our life.

If that's the way
you want it to be.

It is.

I think it has to be.

Okay.

[Junkyard Steve] You the kids
looking for a head?

If only we lived in a town
where the answer could be no.

We are and you called
to say that you have it?

I got nearly ten acres
of scrap out there,

and I come across
weird stuff all the time.

But this is the first time
I found a bronze head.

It was stashed in
an old refrigerator.

[unzips bag]

You didn't happen to see
who dumped this?

Has anyone suspicious
been around here?

Well, I get scavengers
all the time,

but there was a guy
come in last week,

I'd never seen him before.

Claimed he wanted to get
some bike parts,

but he didn't buy anything.

Well, did you get his name?

What did he look like?

Low-life type.

Had on one of those jackets.

By any chance,
was this gentleman tall?

Sure was.

[music playing]

I'm sorry, Mr. Lodge,
can I talk to you
for a second?

Yeah, sure. What is it?

Not here. Your study.
Right now. It's important.

Okay. Let's go.

[camera shutter clicking]

It's Poppa Poutine,

I overheard him
at the poker game,

and I think he's planning
something bad.

He said you
were getting sloppy,

and that action
needs to be taken.

I'm telling you, Mr. Lodge,

so you can protect yourself,

in case there's some
kind of coup.

[opera music playing]

Thank you, Archie.

You can go back
to the party now.
Check on my daughter.

Make sure she's having
a good time.

[door closes]

[dial clicking]

[music playing]

[FP] Stop the damn vote.

What the hell were you doing
at the dump last week,
Tall Boy?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

I'm talkin' about
you cutting the head off
the Pickens' statue

and stashing it at the dump

where you were seen, dumbass.

So start spilling!

[Jughead] Why'd you do it?

Someone put you up to this?

What's the Northsider
doing here?

This is Serpent business,
it's on Serpent land.

She's here
because she's one of us.

You haven't answered
my son's question:

Why'd you do it?

'Cause I'm tired
of seeing the Serpents

goin' soft under your rule.

Then Hiram Lodge came by,

wanting to stir up
some trouble.

He said if I took the head,

he'd get McCoy and the cops
to swarm all over us,

'cause some chaos.

So Hiram Lodge

asked you to start a mutiny

and you helped him, why?

I figured it'd be my chance
to get rid of you, sunshine.

And if I got rid of him,

I could get rid
of you, too, FP.

And then, what,
you'd become leader?

[Jughead] He and Penny.

You're a Judas, Tall Boy,

and an idiot.

You betrayed
your own kind, Tall Boy.

You broke Serpent Law.

What should we do
with this lowlife?

[Jughead]
Strip him of his jacket.

Exile him.

All those in favor.

[all murmuring in agreement]

[snickers]

Looks like
this piece of trash and I

got a long ride
ahead of us.

[indistinct talking]

What were you and
my father chatting about?

We were just going over
some stuff for my internship.

Wait, that's still happening?

Yeah, why wouldn't it be?

I love you, Archie.

But we can't keep dating

unless you understand
something about my family.

About my father.

Look, I wanted
to protect you from this,

but every day, you're getting
in deeper and deeper and...

The truth is, Archie...

My dad... He's...

-He's a--
-A mobster.

I know, Ronnie.

I've seen all those movies.

And the poker game
last night.

Well, I mean,
I wouldn't put it so baldly.

But, Archie,
it's not just what he is,

it's what he's planning to do.

In Riverdale.

SoDaIe is just
the beginning, it's actually--

-Stop.
-No, Archie.

-You need to know this.
-No, I don't want to know.

-Archie, he's going to--
-Veronica, I can't know.

l... [sighs]
I don't need to know.

Veronica, I love you.

And there's nothing
you could ever say

that would change that.

Or make me regret
being with you.

Or scare me away.

You don't have to
protect me from this,
any of it.

I love you, Ronnie.

I'm with you.

[TV playing indistinctly]

[sighs]

Good ol' Hiram Lodge.

I wonder
what he's planning for us.

And the Southside?

Maybe we can ask Veronica
on Monday.

Yeah.

Maybe we should
just investigate quietly

until we know more.

We haven't saved
the trailer park yet.

And I'm on probation
from the Serpents,

whatever that means.

Because of what I did to Penny.

But we stopped her
from coming back.

And we got rid of Tall Boy.

We. [chuckles]

It's nice to hear that again.

Look, I'll be
apologizing for it

for the rest of my life,
but I'm sorry.

lam.

Feeling like
I needed to shield you

from what I was going
through with the Serpents

or my darkness. [scoffs]

I can handle it.

[sighs]

I know.

I know you can.

[both sigh]

I should probably

start headin' home.

Or you could stay.

Stay.

-Wait, wait, wait.
-[breathing heavily]

-I need to
tell you something.
-What?

What is it?

Nothing.

I just want you.

I want all of you tonight.

This is typical
of your sister.

She gets caught up
in something

and drops off
the face of the Earth.

What about Hal?
Where's he?

-HaI--
-[knocking at door]

That's probably him now.

Hi. Is Chic home?

What are you doing here,
Agent Adams?

My dad's not even
asleep yet.

This couldn't wait.

Paul Boucher was found
dead in his hotel room

less than an hour ago,
shot in the back
of the head.

Who's Paul Boucher?

His mob name
is Poppa Poutine.

This is extremely
important, Archie.

Boucher was a guest
at Veronica's confirmation.

Did you see or hear
something, anything,

that could implicate
Hiram Lodge

in what is obviously
a gangland slaying?

No.

Nothing.

[Andre] Found
one last gift for you

in the lobby, Miss Veronica.

[Veronica] A big one!

Mom...

Dad...

I think
this might be for you.

-[clattering]
-[gasps softly]

Hello?

Mom?

Elizabeth, did you lock
the front door?
