Starting this season, we knew that Archie’s uncle was going to be appearing, that Jughead would find his grandfather, and that somehow, some way, Alice Cooper was going to escape The Farm. And all of that happened, but not nearly in the order we had thought. This season has been about digging deeper, about getting to core pressure points for our characters and poking them constantly. For once, the gang has been given perspective, and while many are continuing the path they’ve already pursued, they’re also struggling to understand. We thought the loss of Fred Andrews might ruin this show; instead, it seems they’ve re-doubled their efforts to make something a little deeper and a little more subtle, even if Edgar Evernever plans to fly a self-made rocket off an abandoned hotel roof. That, and the fact that Betty Cooper might have just unleashed a force we haven’t seen since season one. We’re tying together loose threads for some arts and crafts this week in The Doghouse!
