Veronica gets out of the car
Veronica says to Fp "Mr. Jones, what happened here?"
Fp says to Veronica "We don't know the answer to that yet. We're working on it."
Betty says to Fp "It's him. He's back.The Black Hood."
Veronica says to Fp "Betty's dad was on that bus."
Betty says to Fp "He was being transferred to Hiram's prison. He's out there, Mr. Jones."
Fp says to Betty "No, no. Betty. No one survived this crash, I'm... I'm sorry. You know that he's dead?You're positive?"
Fp says to Betty "There were five inmates on that bus, one driver, that's six in total, which is... It's the number of heads we've found. DNA tests will confirm it if we can't piece everyone back together, but... I'm sorry."
Veronica says to Betty "Betty, we should go."
Betty says to Veronica "He asked for my help with this transfer. He wanted this, Veronica. What if he planned this? What if he escaped?
He could still be out there."
Betty Sighs deeply
In Andrews house,hallway
Mary walks in
Mary says to Archie "Archie?"
Archie walks downstairs
Archie says to Mary "Mom."
Archie hugs Mary
Archie says to Mary "Oh... I would've picked you up from the airport, but Dad took his truck, and I'm not sure the jalopy's your speed."
Mary says to Archie "Oh, that's fine. I took an Uber. But have you had breakfast yet? We can go to Pop's, my treat."
Archie says to Mary "Actually, can we do dinner instead? I was gonna head to the gym before school starts."
Mary says to Archie "Yeah, your dad mentioned that you'd taken up boxing. Said you're pretty serious about it."
Archie says to Mary "I am, yeah. That's not why you came, is it? To talk me out of it?"
Mary says to Archie "Not at all. Things were slow in Chicago, and I just wanted to spend some time with my son,that's all."
Archie says to Mary "Ah."
In the Farm
Alice says to Betty "What, have you come to steal more babies, Elizabeth?"
Betty says to Alice "No, I came to warn you that Dad might be on the loose."
Alice says to Betty "FP already called. There were no survivors."
Betty says to Alice "Well, Dr. Curdle Jr. hasn't identified the bodies yet.So we don't know that."
Alice says to Betty "And this is what I mean about letting go of your past. Stop indulging in these morbid delusions that your serial killer of a father is somehow still alive."
Betty says to Alice "Did you get a tattoo?"
Alice says to Betty "Yes. Edgar asked me to get it.
I like to think of it as an engagement ring."
In Coopers house,kitchen
Jughead says to Jellybean "How are you feeling?"
Jellybean says to Jughead "You mean, considering that Mom abandoned me?"
Jughead sighs
Jughead says to Jellybean "She didn't abandon you. Actually, Mom leaving town is probably the most selfless thing she's ever done."
Jellybean says to Jughead "I've never lived anywhere without her."
Jughead says to Jellybean "Well, I'm glad you decided to stay."
Jellybean smiles
Jughead says to Jellybean "Just no more playing G&G,okay?"
Jellybean says to Jughead "Why is everyone so freaked out about it? It's just pretend quests and costumes."
Jughead says to Jellybean "Who was in costume?"
Jellybean says to Jughead "Well, Ricky had those ears,and I had a crown...and the Gargoyle King, of course."
Jughead says to Jellybean "Wait, you met the Gargoyle King? Like, in person? What happened?"
Jellybean says to Jughead "He gave me and Ricky a quest."
Jughead says to Jellybean "You talked to him?
What did he say?"
Jellybean says to Jughead "Said that I couldn't enter the Kingdom. Not until I have the Gospel.
That was our next quest."
Jughead says to Jellybean "The Gospel.What's the Gospel?"
Jellybean says to Jughead "I don't know. We never found it. But Ricky said that the Gospel is where the Gargoyle King keeps all his secrets."
In the Gym
Archie and Mad dog fighting
Veronica walks in
Veronica says to Archie and Mad dog "Good morning, boys."
Veronica says to Archie "And good news, Archie.
I've got your fight application."
Archie says to Veronica "What are you talking about?"
Veronica says to Archie "For the Regional Classic."
Archie says to Veronica "Nice."
Mad dog says to Veronica "That's a hot tournament. How'd you get him in?"
Veronica says to Mad dog "I'm very persuasive when I need to be."
Veronica says to Archie "You'll be ready. You just got to get your mom or dad to sign off on it so we can make the deadline. This is the perfect opportunity to jump-start your boxing career."
Mad dog says to Veronica "Hey, if you ever want to add another client to your roster, I'd love to have a manager like you."
Veronica says to Mad dog "I'll think about it, Mad Dog."
Fangs walks in
Fangs says to Veronica,Archie and Mad dog "Guys? Old Faithful just opened up in the locker room. I think a pipe burst. I turned the water off, but someone should go take a look at that."
Archie says to Fangs "I'll fix it."
Veronica says to Archie "What, suddenly you're a plumber? Bring in a professional."
Archie says to Veronica "Ronnie..."
Veronica says to Archie I've actually been meaning to talk to you, Archie. As your manager,
this gym has charm to spare, but it could use an update. A little sprucing up."
Archie says to Veronica "With what money, Ronnie?"
Veronica says to Archie "Mine. I'd like to invest in you.In you and your your gym. La Bonne Nuit has been doing very well lately, and I wouldn't mind diversifying my portfolio to include a property on the Southside."
In the students lounge
Betty says to the gang "Can't be a coincidence.
He asked for the transfer, and then his bus just burst into flames.He planned it. He used me to escape.And now he's out there."
Veronica says to Betty "Betty, I was with you.
I saw what was left of that bus. Nobody could've survived that."
Betty says to Veronica "Yeah, but if he did..."
Jughead says to Betty "If he did, you've got me, you have the Serpents, you have Archie and his fight-club buddies,you have a veritable armada here to protect you. Also, you can move back in with my dad and I. It's been a lot quieter since my mom's been gone."
Betty says to Jughead "Mmm...I'm sorry that she left, Jug."
Archie says to Jughead "How's JB doing after all this?"
Jughead says to Archie "Shockingly well. And she's filled in some key blanks. Apparently, there's a Gospel of the Gargoyle King out there somewhere. Could be important. My dad's been sweeping Junkyard Steve's."
Cheryl walks in
Cheryl says to the gang "Sorry to interrupt your no doubt thrilling catch-up, chums, but, as you know, junior prom is this weekend.
The theme is Fire and Ice.
Jughead eating a bag of Crisps
Cheryl says to the gang "And, naturally, Toni and I are campaigning to be the most captivating prom queens this school's ever seen. So it goes without saying, vote Choni for co-monarchs, because, when you really think about it, no other options make sense."
Cheryl walks out
Veronica says to the gang "Prom is this weekend?
We still do things like that here?"
Betty says to Veronica "I mean, apparently."
Betty says to Jughead "Jug... Will you go to prom with me?"
Jughead says to Betty "Only for you, Betty Cooper."

Archie grabs the plate
Archie says to Mary "Definitely."
Archie puts the plate down
Archie says to Mary "Actually, Mom, I wanted to ask you something. There's a tournament this weekend that I want to box in, the Regional Classic. I just need you to sign my application to let me compete."
Mary says to Archie "Archie..."
Archie says to Mary "Let me guess. You don't want me to box."
Mary Chuckles
Mary says to Archie "I didn't even want you to play football. And boxing is so much more... brutal."
Archie says to Mary "I'm behind on everything else, but I'm good at boxing. I was actually thinking about going pro."
Mary yells at Archie "Going pro?"
Mary says to Archie "Archie, I know you've been dealing with a lot lately."
Archie says to Mary "Mom."
Mary says to Archie "But I won't support you getting pummeled."
Mary walks out
