Title From: Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
Newly single, Archie and Betty work together to get to the bottom of the Mr. Svenson mystery.
Tropes
- Act of True Love: The Black Hood holds Archie and Betty at gunpoint. He tells Archie to get in the empty coffin and be buried alive, or The Black Hood will shoot Archie. Archie declines. Then, The Black Hood tells them that if Archie doesn't do it The Black Hood will shoot Betty. Archie immediately gets into the coffin.
- The Big Damn Kiss: Archie and Betty's first kiss, in the car.
- Christmas Episode: The series's first.
- Fingore: The "present" Betty receives from the Black Hood.
- Literal Metaphor: Jughead says he "took his pound of flesh" from Penny. FP doubtless thinks he paid her back for the way she manipulated them. Jughead literally means he carved out the flesh with her Serpents tattoo. We don't know if it weighed a pound.
- Mythology Gag: Ronnie makes a donation to cover Fred Andrews's medical expenses using her mother's black "American Excess" card, and her parents discuss a present from "Spiffany's" and a "Glamourgé egg". The comics are well known for using Brand X versions of real products.
- Now or Never Kiss: Archie and Betty before they go off to stop a serial killer.
- The Reveal: The Black Hood is none other than Mr. Svenson.
- Nana Rose, Lewis Cooper (her cousin by marriage, with whom she should ostensibly not be in contact, given the feud) and 3 other men murdered and buried an innocent man that Mr. Svenson (Joseph Conway) pointed to as the man who assassinated his family.
- Rule of Drama: Keller shoots the fleeing, ostensibly unarmed Hood dead with no warning. This is, to say the least, not anything close to normal police procedure, but it does lead to a few seconds where it looks like Archie did it.
- Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Apparently in his own twisted mind, the Black Hood's desire to kill sinners to balance out the death of a man he wrongly accused of killing his family.
- Shout-Out: Betty's nightmare of the Black Hood climbing over the couch of her house is a shot-for-shot recreation of Bob climbing over the couch in the Palmer house.
- Wham Shot: When the Black Hood is demasked as Mr. Svenson.
