The Coopers. The Stepfords of Riverdale. High school sweethearts who got married and had two beautiful daughters, Polly and Betty.... until Jason Blossom happened.
A week before the first Ghostface murder in Riverdale. While fiddling with his camcorder during lunch, Y/n feels a tap on his shoulder, Jason Blossom. "Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" He requests in a very quiet voice.
"Uh.... sure." Y/N replies as he glances around, noticing all the envious look he's getting from the other students who whish to boast their popularity by being friends with Riverdale High's best football player.
As soon as they make it to a corner where the talkative students can drown out their voices, Jason gets straight to the point. "I'm leaving." Jason tells Y/N, causing the kid to blink.
"What?"
"I need to get out of here." Jason specifies, glancing around anxiously. "This town, my dad and mom, all of it is corrupt. And... none of them will accept me if I told them who I was.... dating."
Y/N blinks again, taking a moment to process this new information. Things just got a bit too complicated for his plan. "Why are you telling me this?" He then asks Jason after a minute of awkward silence.
"Because when the weekend comes, I'm gonna fake my death." Jason then reveals to him. "I know, it sounds overboard, but my parents are powerful people, you know what I'm saying?"
"Yeah, I get it..." Y/N knowingly nods.
"So, I need someone to help sell the story that.... I'm dead." Jason then shares with him, putting a hand over Y/N's shoulder. "Please, just make a random memorial video, anything. Cheryl's helping too."
Y/N slowly nods, then he quickly forms a brief quick plan. He smirks at Jason.
"No problem."
And now, we would hear from the person who was closest to him those days leading up to his disappearance and murder. Polly Cooper. How a casual conversation turned into a epic forbidden romance. How, for reasons still murky, their respective parents tried to tear them apart.
How their break-up was short lived because Polly soon learned she was pregnant with Jason's baby. How they became secretly engaged with his grandmother's blessing and her heirloom ring. And made plans to run away together, to start a new life.
And how their dreams of escape, went up in flames.
As Jughead mentions this in his article, we see one of the new arrived Detectives Markus, watch some old Street footage like the deputy that tried before him. That's when he spots someone in a Ghostface costume stalking Cheryl on one of the streets and such.
Meanwhile, Detective Bailey examines the crime scene involving that cop's death. Where he finds a make-up kit that was frantically abandoned by the killer before they left the car and alleyway. Something like this could count as evidence.
Sheriff Keller questions Polly about her last moments with Jason Blossom. The police need everything they can get while his killer is still on the loose, adding bodies. "And that was the last time you saw him?"
"At Pop's, when he told me the plan, that he was gonna fake his own death, and then we would meet up." Polly testifies to the Sheriff. "But, before that could happen, my mom and dad sent me away." She bitterly adds.
"One of Jason's teammates said that before he ran away, Jason was dealing drugs." Betty mentions, hoping she can explain that part.
"Making a one-time delivery." Polly emphasizes in his defense. "He needed... we needed money. To get away and to start over."
