After going MIA during the middle of her world tour, mega-star Josie McCoy returns to Riverdale unexpectedly. But it's not until she reunites with her former bandmates Valerie and Melody, that she opens up about the real reason why she's back. Elsewhere, Veronica gets creative after a surprise visit from her old friend Alexandra Cabot. Finally, Toni steps in to help Tabitha and Veronica land a deal.

Tropes

  • And the Adventure Continues: This episode works as a Poorly Disguised Pilot, but also an indication that Josie and the Pussycats will go on and have their own adventures separate from the Riverdale gang, just like in the cartoon.
  • Ascended Extra: Melody has a bigger role in this episode than in the rest of her appearances combined.
  • Bus Crash: It’s revealed that Josie’s father died suddenly in New Orleans while Josie was touring outside the country.
  • Fair-Weather Friend: Josie accuses the gang (sans Archie) of this, pointing out the last time she saw Jughead, he was robbing Pop's, she and Betty "spoke all of what, one time?", considers Veronica an acquaintance, and Cheryl once sent her a pig's heart so "I never had any say in the old times."
  • The Friends Who Never Hang: Josie points out that she and Betty had barely interacted before this episode.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The episode opens with Melody beginning a "this is the story..." narration only to cut it short for the story she's writing.
    • Josie’s speech to the main characters has a nod to complaints about past seasons giving her little to do before being Put on a Bus entirely.
  • Poorly Disguised Pilot: The episode clearly serves as a transition for a spin-off about Josie and the Pussycats.
