In Southside High Cafeteria
Toni says to Jughead "You wanna get through this? Hang with the Serpents."
At Andrews House Hallway
Sweet Pea says to Archie "You think you can come to my house and there wouldn't be payback?"
In Town Hall
Alice says to Sierra "I'm wondering when you're gonna actually address the real problem in Riverdale,the Southside."
Fred says to everyone "We need to be united.If we let the fear take over,we're dead."
In Pembrooke Living Room/Dining Room
Veronica says to Hiram "I want a more active role
in Lodge Industries." Hiram says to Veronica "Of course.You're a Lodge,after all."
In Town Hall
Bughead walks in
Betty says to everyone "Everybody needs to leave." Jughead says to everyone "The Black Hood is coming here."
In Coopers house,Living Room
Betty says to Tom "This is from the Black Hood. He says he's doing it for me."
In Betty's bedroom
Betty's phone ringing
Betty and the black hood on the phone
Betty says to the black hood "Hello?"
The Black Hood says to Betty "Hello,Betty.This is the Black Hood speaking."
Betty says to the black hood "How...? How do I know this is real?"
The black hood says to Betty "I will strike next where it all began."
Betty says to the black hood "Were you there? At the Town Hall?"
The black hood says to Betty "Oh,yes."
Betty says to the black hood "But you didn't hurt anyone?" The black hood says to Betty "Tonight was all about you."
Betty says to the black hood "What do you want?"
Betty stands up
The Black Hood says to Betty "The same as you.To set Riverdale on the righteous path again.To cleanse it of sinners.Isn't that what you want?"
Betty sits in her desk
Betty says to the black hood "Not by killing people." The black hood says to Betty "Only the ones who deserve it.People like your sister.I know about the sin she carries in her womb.I also know she's at a farm two hours north.If you try to warn her,I'll know.If you tell the police we've spoken or your mystery loving boyfriend,I'll carve her like a jack o lantern."
Betty says to the black hood "Please,don't hurt her."
Alice walks into Betty's bedroom
Alice says to Betty "Who are you talking to? It's late." The black hood says to Betty "Then don't you deny me,betty."
The black hood ends the call
Alice says to Betty "It's Jughead,wasn't it?"
Betty says to Jughead "Yeah."
Alice says to Betty "I gave him the benefit of the doubt.Now he's living on the Southside amongst criminals and degenerates.He's showing his true colours.No doubt inspiring your stunt at Town Hall.Pulling the fire alarm?"
Betty says to Alice "I didn't know what else to do.
Given the letter the Black Hood sent."
Alice says to Betty "If he even wrote it.Sheriff Keller says something seems off.He's gonna have it analysed with the one I got.In the meantime,I want you home straight after school.Are we clear?" Betty says to Alice "Yeah.Sorry,Mom."
In Andrews House,Kitchen
Archie says to Fred "I did what Weatherbee asked.Wrote an apology letter and posted a new video apologising some more."
Fred says to Archie "So,this,uh,Red Circle business,it's over? I'm happy to hear it.I've been missing my son."
Fred taps Archie's cheek
Fred walks out
Archie's phone chimes and Archie looks at his text from betty
Betty:Walk me to school?
In the streets
Betty says to Archie "I need to tell you something Arch,but you can't tell anyone else.Not Veronica, not Jughead,not your dad.Just no one.You promise me?" Archie says to Betty "Yeah,sure.I promise." Betty says to Archie "The Black Hood called me."
Archie stops walking
Archie says to Betty "What?"
Betty says to Archie "No,keep walking."
Archie walking with Betty
Archie says to Betty "Wait.The Black Hood called you?" Betty says to Archie "Yes,it's risky for me to be telling you,but we're best friends.We live right next door.Us walking to school together would look normal to anyone watching,including him."
Archie says to Betty "You think he's watching us?" Betty says to Archie "I don't know.He could be.I know it sounds crazy,but it was him."
Archie says to Betty "Tell the police,even if it's not him." Betty says to Archie "It is him.He told me if I went to the police or told Jughead...God, he knows where Polly is,Arch.If he calls me then, I have to answer." Archie says to Betty "I won't let you go through this alone."
In Hiram's office
Hermione reads the newspaper to Hiram "This most recent incident confirms that the real threat is not the Black Hood but the Southside and its corruptive forces.Developer and ex-con Hiram Lodge boasts his SoDale project will revitalise
the forsaken neighborhood,but this reporter speculates Hiram Lodge doesn't want to fix our problems,merely profit from them."
Hiram says to Hermione "Right before our open house.Thank you,Alice Cooper.We can't let anything derail this project.Not Alice,not the Southside gangs,not some hooded psychopath."
Hermione says to Hiram "Well,right now,our biggest problem is capital.We're running out of it and fast." Hiram I've invited investors to the open house.The St. Clairs from New York."
Veronica says to Hiram "Wait.They are? Nicky included? I haven't seen Nicky in forever."
Veronica stands up
Hiram says to Veronica "Yeah,he's a budding music producer now."
Hiram stands up
Hiram says to Veronica "And his father is King Midas rich." Hiram says to Hermione "We get him to invest,others will follow."
Hermione says to Veronica "You wanted a seat at the table.Nick has his father's ear.Help us close this.Show him all the good things Riverdale has to offer." Veronica says to Hermione "With pleasure."
Outside of Southside Hugh
indistinct chatter
Jughead walks out
Fangs says to Sweet Pea "Sweet Pea.Take care of this." Sweet Pea says to Jughead "Nice article your girlfriend's mom wrote."
Jughead says to Sweet Pea "Yeah.I saw that. Dilton Doiley said he was stabbed and you jumped him?" Fangs says to Jughead "The idiot stabbed himself with his own knife."
Sweet Pea says to Jughead "We didn't jump him.
There was a fight.Bulldogs versus Serpents.You see this?"
Sweet Pea points to his eye
Sweet Pea says to Jughead "Andrews gave it to me before his girlfriend shot a gun into the air."
Jughead says to Sweet Pea "What happened?"
Sweet Pea says to Jughead "And,of course, Northsiders get off scot-free,the rest of us are hauled in by police." Fangs says to Jughead "It's payback time."
Jughead says to the Serpents "What are you guys talking about? What is...? What is that? Is that a pipe bomb?"
Sweet Pea says to Jughead "Fogarty's cousin served in the Army.He's gonna build us something.We'll do it after hours.It'll shut the Riverdale Register down."
Jughead yells at Sweet Pea and Fangs "You think blowing up a building will make things better?"
Sweet Pea stands up
Sweet Pea says to Jughead "Can't get any worse."
Jughead says to Sweet Pea "Yeah,Sweet Pea,it can.Let me talk to Archie,figure this out."
Sweet Pea yells at Jughead "That's your answer for everything.Talk.We don't know who you stand with.Us? Or them? You can't be half a Serpent."
The Serpents walk away expect for Toni and Jughead sits by Toni
Jughead says to Toni "Great.So,Archie started World War III."
Toni says to Jughead (Annoyed) "Northside has been dumping on us for years.Your dad tried to keep the peace.Avoid bloodshed.Now that he's gone,idiots like Sweet Pea think there's one path and solution.Violence."
In Students Lounge
Veronica says to Kevin "Nick and I were the will they or won't they of our jet set.He's an outrageous flirt,but we never dated.We'd hop from club to club,go on these madcap adventures,stay up all night."
Archie says to Veronica "Who's this now?"
Archie sits down
Veronica says to Archie "Oh,Archiekins,don't be jelly.It's just a ghost from my bad girl past,Nick St. Clair,breezing to town for the open house.You have nothing to worry about."
In FP's trailer
Jughead looks at his Serpent jacket
In the Whthe Wyrm
Sweet Pea playing Pool
Jughead walks in wearing his Serpent Jacket
Sweet Pea says to Jughead "I think this Northsider's lost."
Jughead says to Sweet Pea "I'm not.I'm over being half a Serpent."
Sweet Pea says to Jughead "Wow.You'll do anything to protect your Northside buddies."
Jughead says to the Serpents "My father was a Serpent.He led you.I wanna stand with you guys.
Tall Boy was the one who gave me this jacket.It's finally time I start wearing it."
Tall Boy says to Jughead "So,now you wanna be a Serpent,huh? Let's see if you survive the initiation first."
