YMMV / Riverdale S 2 E 18 Chapter 31 A Night To Remember

• Creepy Awesome: Cheryl, drenched in pig's blood, confronting Penelope, and threatening to burn another house down (with the clear implication that this time, Penelope won't get out) unless Penelope lets Cheryl become an emancipated teen and she and Claudius get the hell out out Cheryl's house. Nightmare Fuel? Yes. Moment of Awesome? Also yes.
• I Knew It!: Many people felt validated in their theory that The Black Hood was not dead, nor was he Svenson since he lacked the killer's green eyes, as he seemingly returns to murder Midge.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: We Hardly Knew Ye with Midge and she never got to stand out as a character.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
  • Some viewers have argued Betty makes a far more believable Carrie White given her own Cute But Psycho nature.
  • Despite Chuck, Cheryl, and Josie all being involved in the musical, there is no confrontation or apology between Chuck and Cheryl for her framing him as Josie's stalker, or a reconciliation between Chuck and Josie.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Cheryl when she "apologizes" for her past behavior towards Josie. While an apology is a step in the right direction, it's undermined greatly by Cheryl also making excuses for herself and pressuring Josie to forgive her.
