Tangerine thoughts

Archie needs to not be overly sentimental about the construction company, he spreads himself too thin already and they could use the money and Fred would probably rather him do that if he's smart and heartfelt about it instead of hanging on to something he's always been wishy-washy about. But now he'll probably sell it to and run it with Frank and be all-in for five episodes or so.

Veronica's big problem is she always lays out her cards for Hiram, and way too early, she never pauses to think the advantages she's giving his plans for retribution. There's always a way for sabotage. She really needs to always stop and consider "What angle will Daddy use to take this away from me?" If she's so savvy she should've considered the patent, and that Hiram would try to box her in to going to the college he wants her.

Maybe Betty will finally go full crazy and just snap and kill Jughead. Was she at the Farm long enough to get hypnotized? Is Charles in on it? Does Jughead say "Tangerine" thrice and pay the price?

I feel like Charles is a link between all of it. He'll free both Penelope and Chic, and he's somehow involved in the Farm and hypnotism and will somehow cause Betty to kill Jughead.

Veronica is a moron. I don't want to be that judgmental, but she's running an illegal drinking establishment for teenagers while bitching about her father's illegal activities. She couldn't get into a good school without her daddy's money and nepotism anyway. It's always great to see Hiram knock her down a peg. Also, she should have been arrested for what she did to Elton John's song.

Betty was technically hypnotized when they drugged her and had Polly pretend to be Dark Betty. I assume that's when they're going to say they planted the suggestion. Technically, that's not how hypnosis works, but this is Riverdale.

Now that Archie's Batman, Arrow needs to come for a cross-over. They can have a flexing contest and see who has the better abs. Then they can jerk each other off. That's the only way Archie can become interesting. Also, fuck the construction company. No one has see it in 2 years. I think Hiram already turned it into fizzle rocks and no one wants to admit it. Also, if Uncle Frank doesn't turn into a werewolf, I'm going to be deeply disappointed (Sanctuary fans unite!)

The only serious thing I'll say is I think you're right about Charles, minus killing Jughead. Unless Spruce really wants off the show, I don't think they'll do that.

Lmao that was a hilarious read, thank you :)

Who knows with Jughead. I'm so torn. I don't feel like they would unless they're doing Afterlife. But it would make for a shocker. But then it would be more shocking to not tell the audience so far before it happens. But if it does happen, the way they're telling the story is working surprisingly well for me. But if he's alive and/or there's a different twist, it's being told interestingly as well. Depending on where it goes. So much back and forth.
