7	----
8	-> '''Title From:''' ''Film/BodyDouble'' (1984)
9
10	As more info on Jason's murder comes to light, Veronica aims to bring down a SlutShaming scam.
11
12	!!Tropes
13	* ActorAllusion: Cheryl indicates that there's a #justiceforethel hashtag going around. Ethel is played by the same actress who played Barb on ''Series/StrangerThings'', who in real life was the subject of a well-known #justiceforbarb movement.
14	* AdaptationalVillainy: Chuck Clayton is originally a sweet, aspiring comic book artist and [[UnfortunateImplications the only black male character in the comics for decades]].
15	* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Betty reacts this way when Veronica tries to confront her about what she did to Chuck and how Betty seemed to think she was Polly. Betty tries to brush it off and change the subject.
16	* AmbiguouslyBi:
17	** The look on Veronica's face when she sees Betty in her HoneyPot outfit is a perfect match to Chuck's.
18	** The moniker of ''B&V'' that Jughead uses to christen Betty and Veronica practically doubles as a PortmanteauCoupleName.
19	* AnAesop:
20	** Veronica loudly trumpets a simple one the entire episode: Don't slut-shame girls and treat them like prizes.
21	** Veronica tries to teach Betty to be careful not to cross the line when seeking justice. That might be the more SpaceWhaleAesop of "Alice Cooper has driven her daughters completely insane."
22	** Archie is reminded that a privileged white male can't really understand the plight of a minority, but Josie is reminded that he shouldn't be punished for honestly trying to help, and music is universal.
23	** On the adult side, Archie's father learns that he can't dismiss his son's love of music just because he doesn't understand it and thinks football is more reliable.
24	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Veronica asked Betty to go to the dark side for revenge. Betty turns out to be willing to take it farther than Veronica.
25	* BerserkButton:
26	** Betty makes it clear Polly is hers.
27	** Veronica states to Cheryl hers is calling Ethel, herself or any of the other girls in the Sticky Maple conspiracy a slut.
28	* BrokenPedestal: Cheryl discovers Jason wasn't as saintly and perfect as she believed.
29	* DisproportionateRetribution: While he is certainly not a very good person, Betty almost BOILS CHUCK CLAYTON ALIVE in the process of trying to get him to confess to his misdeeds. Even Veronica, who came up with the plan in the first place, is weirded out by the extremes Betty goes to.
30	* TheDividual: By the end of the episode Jughead's narration points out that Betty and Veronica have become one of these:
31	-->'''Jughead:''' But one thing was certain, Betty and Veronica, now B&V, and maybe forever, [[FireForgedFriends had been forged]]. They walked through the fire, and survived.
32	* DoubleStandard:
33	** The boys who claim to have slept around get lionized, while the girls get slut-shamed.
34	** On a non-sexual note, Archie calls out his dad on valuing his football more than his music. He notes that while his dad refuses to make an exception to the grounding for music practice, he would for a football game.
35	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Veronica is just as dumb-struck as Chuck when Betty walks into the pool room wearing black lace lingerie, high heels and a black wig.
36	* FakingTheDead: What Jason Blossom attempted to do, although it eventually turned real.
37	* {{Fanservice}}: Even more than usual in this episode, between the scantily clad Betty and Veronica and the locker room full of half-naked football players.
38	* GoneHorriblyWrong: Jason's faked death, which only ends with him getting killed for real.
39	* HoneyPot: Betty and Veronica play this part in their attempt to expose the slut shaming. Surprisingly, ''Betty'' is the one who takes it the furthest.
40	* IntrepidReporter: Betty restarts the school newspaper with Jughead as one of her reporters.
41	* JerkJock: Chuck, Moose, Jason.
42	* KickTheDog: Alice calls Veronica a slut right to Hermione's face, and after smearing Jason in the paper continues to try and question [[MamaBear Penelope]] on her son's death.
43	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Not huge but clearly, discovering how her beloved brother used Polly just to earn "points" with his teammates makes Cheryl quite sorry she basically accused Polly of being a psycho who killed Jason to Betty in the previous episode.
44	* MythologyGag:
45	** Cheryl finally inserts herself as a potential ThirdOptionLoveInterest, technically fourth in this case, as in the comics she served as an antagonistic rival to both [[BettyAndVeronica Betty and Veronica's]] friendly rivalry.
46	** Betty and Jughead restart "The Blue and Gold," Riverdale High's newspaper.
47	** Mayor [=McCoy=] mentions the "Taste of Riverdale" is a lead up to Riverdale's 75th Anniversary, much like how Archie Comics is approaching its 75th anniversary.
48	** Kevin references the narrative beginnings of the comics with Veronica's arrival in Riverdale
49	--->'''Kevin:''' What was it like before she got here? I honestly can’t remember.
50	* NoSympathy:
51	** Cheryl, of course, has no empathy towards the girls being slut-shamed, even calling Ethel an outright liar, [[NotSoAboveItAll at first.]]
52	** Alice could not care less about Penelope Blossom's feelings about Jason's death.
53	* ProductPlacement: Betty is using Covergirl's Subdued Scarlett shade of lipstick.
54	* RomanticizedAbuse: Grundy is grooming Archie and the show is treating it as a "forbidden romance".
55	* SexinessScore: Veronica investigates the JerkJock who is SlutShaming her and discovers that ''all'' the jocks keep a 'playbook' where they rate every girl they've dated. Cheryl is [[BrokenPedestal particularly shocked]] when she learns even her deceased brother, Jason, took part in it.
56	* ShipTease: In a nod to her status as ThirdOptionLoveInterest in the comics, Cheryl offers Archie one favor out of gratitude, which leads to some flirting on Cheryl’s part.
57	-->'''Cheryl:''' I’m granting you one wish, Archie. Nothing is off the table— except for my body.
58	* ShoutOut: Veronica declares that to avenge her honor, she's going "Literature/FullDarkNoStars."
59	** Cheryl calls Betty, "Literature/NancyDrew", and Veronica, "[[Creator/FridaKahlo Frida Shallow]]"
60	* ShutUpHannibal: Alice receives a slap to the face from Penelope after smearing her son in front of everyone.
61	* SlippingAMickey: Betty does this to Chuck to knock him out, and also claims that this is a TruthSerum. Veronica's reaction indicates that this was not part of the plan.
62	* SlutShaming: The act of ''Sticky Maple,'' what the JerkJock circle is doing, is this.
63	* UnfortunateImplications: To say the least. Chuck, the only black male character getting a storyline on the show, is an unrepentant serial sexual harasser.
64	** Betty calling Chuck 'good boy' and the history of white women harming black men.
65	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: According to Future!Jughead's voice-over, Betty's article led to Chuck being cut from the team which "would have terrible consequences."
66	* VerySpecialEpisode: On Cyber Bullying and SlutShaming to be exact.
67	* WhamLine: Cheryl reveals that Jason was running away on the 4th of July.
