ARCHIE's voiceover
Previously on Riverdale...
JUGHEAD's voiceover
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 the 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
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?"
At the Andrews Construction
HERMIONE says to Fred "Hello, Fred."
Fred says to Hermione "Can I get you anything?"
Hermione says to Fred "A job."
Fred says to Hermione "I can't very well have wife of Hiram Lodge,on trial for fraud and embezzlement,balancing my books."
At Pembroke 330
Hermione says to herself "Oh, Hiram..."
At sweetwood River
Kevin says to Moose "Oh, my God, it's Jason. He was shot."
In the Principal's office
Tom says to Archie "What were you doing down at the river so early on July 4th?"
Archie says to Tom "Working on some songs."
Tom says to Archie "Were you alone?"
At the Register
DILTON says to Betty and Jughead "I saw something at Sweetwater River.
Ms. Grundy's car by the river's edge."
JUGHEAD's voiceover
It's been a week since the discovery of Jason Blossom's body.But his death is not the first.Nor would it be the last casualty that the town of Riverdale would suffer.The Twilight Drive-In where I work,my home away from home......a piece of town history,
is closing for good just when we needed a place to escape to the most.
With Sheriff Keller knocking on every door and neighbour suspecting neighbour.......Riverdale, every day
that passes, is becoming more like Salem during the witch trials.And meanwhile, the girl next door......our friendly neighbourhood Hitchcock blonde, Betty Cooper.......was wrestling with the knowledge that her best friend, Archie Andrews......was caught up in a forbidden romance."
BETTY's voiceover
Dear Diary,Sheriff Keller doesn't know what I know.That Riverdale High's music teacher, Geraldine Grundy.......was at Sweetwater River the morning Jason Blossom went missing......and that since Archie was also there,they could have been there together."
At Geraldine's Cello practice
CELLO PLAYING
SOFTLY
Fred says to Archie "She is incredible."
Archie says to Fred "She's the best."
Fred says to Geraldine "I'm usually more of a classic rock kind of guy.......
but that was beautiful.Truly."
Archie says to Geraldine "Congratulations, Ms. Grundy."
Geraldine says to Archie and Fred "Thank you,both of you for coming."
Fred says to Geraldine "No, you kidding? Archie,he wouldn't miss it.
I had to beg him to let me come."
Archie says to Geraldine "Great. I'll see you at school, Ms. Grundy."
Archie says to Fred "Let's go, Dad."
Fred says to Geraldine "Well, I was thinkin' that, you know,if you're gonna be alone tonight......that we could take you out to dinner."
Geraldine says to Fred "Oh. No, I...No, I couldn't impose."
Fred CHUCKLES
Fred says to Geraldine "After everything you've done for my son?
You know, with his music......it's the least I can do. I insist."
JUGHEAD says to Betty,Kevin and Veronica "The Drive-In closing is just one more nail in the coffin that is Riverdale.No, forget Riverdale,in the coffin of the American dream.As the
godfather of indie cinema,Quentin Tarantino, likes to say..."
Kevin says to Jughead "Please, God,
no more Quentin Tarantino references."
Jughead says to Kevin,Betty and Veronica "What? I'm pissed.And not just about losing my job.The Twilight Drive-In should mean something to us.People should be trying to save it."
Veronica says to Jughead "In this age of Netflix and VOD,do people really want to watch a movie in a car?I mean, who even goes there?"
Kevin says to Veronica "People who want to buy crack."
Jughead says to Kevin,Veronica and Betty "And cinephiles,and car enthusiasts,right, Bets?"
Betty says to Jughead "Totally."
JUGHEAD says to Kevin,Veronica and Betty "Anyway, it's closing because the town owns it but didn't invest in it.So when an anonymous buyer made Mayor McCoy an offer
she couldn't refuse..."
Veronica says to Jughead "Anonymous buyer? What do they have to hide? No one cares."
Jughead says to Veronica,Betty and Kevin "I do.Also, you guys should
all come to closing night.I'm thinking
American Graffiti.Or is that too obvious?"
Veronica says to jughead I vote for anything starring Audrey Hepburn.
Or Cate Blanchett."
Kevin says to Veronica "Or The Talented Mr. Ripley."
Kevin says to Betty "Betty, your choices?"
Veronica says to Betty "Everything okay, B?"
Betty says to Veronica,Kevin and Jughead "Yeah, I'm just thinking. Um...Maybe Rebel Without a Cause."
BOTH SNICKER
HERMIONE says to Veronica,Kevin, Betty and Jughead "Here you go, kids."
Veronica says to Hermione "Thanks, Mom."
Cheryl says to Tina and Ginger"If I would have known Mama Lodge was working as a waitress at Pop's......
I never would have given Veronica a spot on the Vixens.It's off-brand, and sends a false message about acceptance."
Tina says to Cheryl "After her TMZ-style take-down of Chuck,all the Vixens kind of like Veronica now."
Cheryl says to Tina "Do they?"
Hermione gets the money off Cheryl's table
Cheryl says to Hermione "Be sure to put all that cash in the register.You are a Lodge, after all.And Lodges are known to have sticky fingers."
Veronica stands up and walks over to Cheryl's table
Veronica says to Cheryl "Cheryl..."
Hermione says to Veronica "Honey, I got this."
Hermione says to Cheryl "Cheryl, I went to school with your mother.
She didn't know the difference between having money and having class either.
DOOR BELL CHIMING
Archie,Fred and Geraldine walks in

Betty walks over to Archie
Fred says to Betty "Hey, Betty."
Betty says to Fred and Geraldine "Hi, Mr. Andrews,Ms. Grundy."

Archie says to Betty "Sure. I'll call you later?"
BETTY says to Archie "No,actually, now.Just school stuff. Outside?"
Archie stands up
Betty and Archie walks out of Pop's
Outside of Pop's
Betty says to Archie "Archie, as your best friend,is there anything you want to tell me?"
Archie says to Betty "I don't think so."
Betty SIGHS
Betty says to Archie "Ms. Grundy was at Sweetwater River on July 4th.Were you with her?"
Archie says to Betty "Did Jughead tell you?"
Betty says to Archie "Jughead knows about this?"
Inside of Pop's
Veronica says to Kevin and Jughead "What's happening out there?Do we know? Is it about me?"
Jughead says to Veronica "I have a strong inkling.And no.Also, I'd let it go."
Veronica says to Jughead "Yes, but you're you, and I'm me."
Veronica says to Jughead and Kevin "You do you, girl, I'll be back."
Veronica stands up
Kevin says to Jughead "What was it like before she got here?I honestly cannot remember."
Outside of Pop's
Archie says to Betty "It's not what you're thinking."
Betty says to Archie "So, it's platonic?"
Archie says to Betty "Okay, well, maybe it's a little like what you're thinking..."
Betty says to Archie "Archie.Are you and Ms. Grundy, like, together,like, romantically?"
Veronica walks out of Pop's
Veronica says to Archie "Oh, my God.
You and your music teacher are having an affair?"
Archie says to Veronica "We are together. Look, I know that sounds bad, but..."
VERONICA says to Archie "Bad?It sounds scandalous."
Betty says to Archie "It sounds like jail time to me. Illegal!"
Archie says to Betty "Betty, don't go there."
Betty says to Archie "Already there."
Archie says to Veronica "Ronnie, a little help here?"
Veronica STUTTERING on her words
Veronica says to Archie "I mean, technically, Betty's right.And ethically,well, what is Grundy to you, anyway?Your girlfriend? Your booty tutor?"
Archie SIGHS
Archie says to Veronica "I don't know, I don't know what to call her."
Betty says to Archie "You said you were at the river alone.You lied to Sheriff Keller,to all of us.Why? To protect her?"
Archie says to Betty "She believed in me when no one else did."
Veronica says to Archie "Okay, we get it."
Archie says to Betty "Betty, say something, please."
Alice HONKS the horn
Tires Squeal
Alice says to Betty "Get in the car, Betty. Now."
