The story is about a town,once wholesome and innocent,now forever changed by the mysterious murder of Jason Blossom on the 4th of July.
In School Hallway
Archie says to Geraldine "Can we talk,Ms. Grundy?"Geraldine says to Archie "About what?"
Archie says to Geraldine "You're the music teacher.
Can we talk about music?
GUNSHOT IN DISTANCE
In the music room
Archie says to Geraldine "We heard what we heard, and afterwards we didn't do anything!"
Geraldine says to Archie "How would we explain why we were together at 6:00 a.m. on the 4th of July?"
Outside of school
Betty says to Veronica "Polly and Jason dated,and Jason hurt Polly."
At Sweetwood
Kevin says to Moose "Oh,my God,Jason.He was shot."
In Weatherbee's office
Tom says to everyone through the microphone "Jason's death is now being treated as a homicide.
In Science Classroom
Cheryl says to Veronica "They'll find out soon
enough.That I'm guilty."
JUGHEAD's voiceover
Guilt,innocence.Good,evil.Life,death.As the shadows around Riverdale deepened,the lines that separated these polar opposites blurred and distorted.I'm guilty,Cheryl said in Biology class.But of what?
In Waldo's office
Tom closes the blinds
Cheryl says to Waldo and Tom "To clarify,I didn't mean I was guilty of killing Jason.I loved him more than I do myself.But I am guilty of lying about what
happened on July 4th." Tom says to Cheryl "The autopsy puts his death about July 11th.When was the last time you saw your brother?"
Cheryl says to Tom "It was July 4th.I don't know what happened the week after that,but..."
Tom says to Cheryl "Cheryl,in your own words,what
happened at Sweetwater River?"
Cheryl says to Tom "The plan was bananas,even for me.Jason wanted to leave Riverdale and never come back.He asked for my help to stage a tragic accident,
so that our mom and dad wouldn't come after him.
Our story would be,we went for an early morning boat ride,and the boat tipped,and capsized,and Jason drowned.In fact,we made it to the other side dry as bones.We said goodbye on the Greendale side of Sweetwater River.He promised he'd call me as
soon as he was in a place where he couldn't be reached or pulled back by our parents.One month,at the most.Every day,I waited for him to call,for an email." Tom says to Cheryl "You tell anyone about the plan?Any way that you can corroborate it? And you have no idea why your brother wanted to run away,fake his own death? Doesn't that seem cruel?
No,he wasn't...Jason wasn't cruel.So maybe this is all just a web of lies you're spinning to cover your own tracks." Cheryl yells at Tom "I didn't kill Jason!"
Cheryl says to Tom "There was a gunshot that morning.We heard a gunshot on July 4th.Maybe whoever killed Jason took a shot at him,and missed that morning." Tom says to Cheryl "You heard a gunshot,and you're just telling us this now?"
Cheryl says to Tom (Angry) "I was upset.My brother was murdered." Tom says to Cheryl "So upset that you sang and danced at a pep rally yesterday."
DOOR SLAMMING
Clifford and Penelope walks in
Clifford says to Tom and Waldo "What the hell is going on here?"
CHERYL says to Penelope "Mommy."
Penelope says to Cheryl "Don't say another word, Cheryl.Get up."
Cheryl walks out of Waldo's office with her parents
Penelope says to Cheryl "Why didn't you call us?"
CLIFFORD says to Penelope "Because
she's a liar,Penelope." People says to Cheryl "When we get home,you're telling us everything.
Archie stands in the middle of the hallway still with the black eye
