* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Played with. Betty gives Veronica quite the tongue-lashing, but she was forced to by the Black Hood.
** Of course, the way [[NotHelpingYourCase Veronica was acting at the party]] only gives her a reason to.

Betty tries to comply with the Black Hood's increasingly traumatizing demands, hoping to distract him from further killing anyone else, at the expense of her personal relationship with Veronica and then Jughead, who she sends Archie to break the bad news to. Jughead, completely broken down, completes his initiation and becomes a Serpent. Finally, the Black Hood figures out Betty broke a rule by confiding in Archie, and makes her pay the ultimate price: Name his next victim, or he will hurt Polly. Having witnessed the aftermath of Cheryl's assault, Betty gives him one name: Nick St. Clair.

As tension between the Northside and the Southside rises, Jughead undergoes a series of harrowing initiation rituals to officially join the Serpents, with the hope to take over FP's leadership mantle and keep the conflict under control. Betty, cornered by the Black Hood, turns to Archie for help. The Black Hood demands that she publish an article exposing Alice's past as a Serpent, then to cut off ties with all her friends, starting with Veronica and then Jughead. Nick St. Clair, a ghost from Veronica's past, visits Riverdale and takes a keen interest in Cheryl. At the opening gala for the [=SoDale=] project, Nick drugs Cheryl and nearly sexually assaults her, but is stopped and beat up by Veronica and the Pussycats.
