Betty says to Kevin "If it's the only way I can get Chic to open up..." Kevin says to Betty "But catfishing him?"
In Polly's bedroom
Betty says to Chic "When you wouldn't submit to the DNA test,I found some of your dental floss, and sent it to the lab.You're not who you say you are,Chic."
Jughead's voiceover
One sheet of paper.That's all it took.To confirm everything Betty had feared...That she let a dangerous stranger into her house."
In Polly's bedroom
Betty says to Polly "This is why you didn't want
to take the DNA test,isn't it? Because you knew what the results were gonna say.That you had no Blossom blood!" Chic says to Betty "Of course I don't.I'm not a Blossom.I don't even know them."
Betty says to Chic "Blossom blood is Cooper blood,Chic.My dad was a Blossom which means
you would have tested positively for Blossom DNA,but you didn't,because you're an impostor!"
Betty says to Alice "Mom!"
In Coopers house,Living Room
Alice says to Betty "Betty,listen.The truth is Chic's DNA doesn't match because Hal isn't his father." Alice says to Chic "But I am your mother, you understand me?" Alice says to Betty "Hang on,what? What? Then who is Chic's father?"
Alice says to Betty "Chic's my son! And whoever the father is,is not gonna be a part of our lives.
So there's no reason to open old wounds that have healed many times over!"
Alice says to Chic "Come here."
Alice hugs Chic
In Pembrooke,Living Room/Dining Room
Hal says to Hermione "Now,for our Register readers,why would you, Hermione Lodge,run for Mayor of Riverdale?"
Hermione says to Hal "Every year, our population decreases.More and more businesses
close.We're at a deficit.We need to change that
equation before it's too late.That is why Lodge
Industries has secured a bid for a maximum security prison on the Southside.Now,that means jobs,economic growth,stability.It'll give Riverdale its future back." Hal says to Hermione "You know,I have to ask.You're building a prison on the bones of a school.Are you okay with that?"
Hermione says to Hal "Losing a school is a tough pill to swallow,but once our correctional facility is up and running,a quarter of our earnings are gonna be funneled directly into education.We are building a brand new wing at Riverdale High."
Hal says to Veronica "And Veronica,are you gonna follow in your mother's footsteps and run for Student Body President in the upcoming election?" Veronica says to Hal "Maybe.If I don't have my hands full,campaigning for my mom.I'm excited to show Riverdale that she's more than just a housewife." Hal says to Veronica "And speaking of housewives...We have a very special guest.Bravo's very own Andy Cohen."
Hal says to Andy "Mr. Cohen, what brings you to Riverdale?" Andy says to Hal "I'm here to endorse my great friend,Hermione Lodge.She's a very savvy businesswoman.She's always three steps ahead of everyone around her.She's a fighter too.She doesn't give up.I'll love to have her in my corner."
Veronica says to Hermione "Kevin just died and
went to clubhouse heaven.Thank you for letting
me invite him today,Mom."
Hermione says to Veronica "Of course.Any and all good will during this election will go a long way.And,Veronica...This campaign isn't gonna be easy.Especially since we had to lead with your father's plans for the prison.Certain people in town and in school are gonna see us as the enemy.So after the celebrity endorsement,let's keep our heads down and let the storm pass.
Understand?"
Veronica says to Hermione "Colour me a wallflower."
