The gang settles into new jobs as teachers at Riverdale High while planning to stop Hiram's moves.

Tropes

  • Auto Erotica: Betty and Archie hook up in the car Betty's shop class are fixing.
  • Batman Gambit: Toni restarts the Vixens in the hopes of pissing Cheryl off enough to bring her out of hiding. It works.
  • Continuity Nod: Jughead knows about Archie’s "epic highs and lows of high school football" speech in juvie.
  • Dead-Hand Shot: While looking for Polly's phone, Kevin, Betty, and Alice find a dead hand sticking out of the marsh that may or may not be her.
  • Get Out!: Cheryl yells this to Archie after he accidentally insults her.
  • Hope Bringer: Why Hiram claims he has to destroy Riverdale High, explaining to Reggie that it offers hope to the students of a better life and so he must crush it.
  • Hot Teacher: Veronica. Most of the guys in her class signed up to look at her.
  • Innocently Insensitive: Archie, in an attempt to convince Cheryl to help fund the football team, brings up Jason and asks if she wants to honour his memory. He pisses her off instead.
  • Jerk Ass Has A Point: The two students may have been mean to Jughead about his Pop's job, but they're right in questioning why a supposedly best-selling writer is now working two low-paying jobs.
  • Kill It with Fire: The episode ends with Hiram and Reggie setting fires outside Archie and Jughead's house and trapping them inside.
  • Moving Beyond Bereavement: Cheryl has had seven years to deal with her brother's death and is no longer easily manipulated into doing favours for everyone else on his behalf.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Hiram lampshades this to Reggie while telling him how Veronica is helping Archie.
  • Ship Tease: Tabitha offers to join Jughead’s investigation into the Mothmen and looks at him subtlely flirtatiously. Jughead looks taken aback by it, but accepts her offer and, after she leaves, seems to ponder what it may lead to between them.
    Tabitha: I'm in. If you want some help. Unless you're, like, the lone wolf type, or whatever.
  • The Smurfette Principle: The New Riverdale High Football Team includes Ten Boys and One Girl.
