In the episode
In Thistle House,Cheryl's bedroom and
Penelope says to Toni "There, there, Antoinette. Now that you've settled down with a cup of calming tea, why don't you explain this to me one more time?"
Toni says to Penelope "Mrs. Blossom, Cheryl is in danger. She's at the Farm with Betty, Kevin, and Fangs and Edgar Evernever. And he's harvesting organs from his followers."
Penelope says to herself "Oh, dear."
Penelope says to Toni "Is that what he's doing there? Well, isn't it fortunate I was here collecting my mail at Thistlehouse when you arrived.And Betty's with him, you say?"
Toni says to Penelope "Yeah, and, um, we need to go save them because we..."
Toni falls asleep and drops the cup
Penelope says to Toni "Good night, my dear. Thank you for the information. Very timely indeed."
In Fp's office
Jughead says to Fp "I refuse to accept what Ethel said. That Jason Blossom is the Gargoyle King. Even though his coffin was empty, it defies logic."Fp says to Jughead "Well, say Ethel is off her rocker, okay, but where's Jason's body? And someone's still wearing the Gargoyle King's antler, so...it's up to you and me to figure out who, Blossom or no Blossom."
Jughead says to Fp "I keep thinking about that matchbook that Dr. Curdle found in Baby Teeth's throat. Kurtz must have got that at the Maple Club, right?"
Fp says to Jughead "What are you getting at, boy?"
Jughead says to Fp "Do you have a copy of Kurtz's mugshot I can borrow?"

Penelope says to Edgar "Let's not mince words, Mr. Evernever. I am fully aware of the foul activities you're conducting here. The Topaz girl told me. I have no interest in exposing your shenanigans."
Edgar says to Penelope "Then why have you come?"
Penelope says to Edgar "You have something that I want."
Edgar says to Penelope "Miss Blossom..."
Penelope cuts Edgar's words off
Penelope says to Edgar "You sell organs, don't you? I'm looking to buy in bulk.

He looked like this."
Jughead shows Laura a picture of Kurtz
Laura says to Jughead "Yes. I never worked with him directly."

Laura says to Jughead "All of his interactions were with..."
Jughead says to Laura "The Red Dahlia?Penelope Blossom?"
Laura says to Jughead "Yeah."
Jughead says to Laura "Out of curiosity, you never saw Penelope with a young man, a young redhead, did you?"
Laura says to Jughead "You mean her kid, Jason?
Yeah, sure,he came around."

Alice says to Edgar "The Ascension? Tonight?"
Edgar says to Alice "Yes. Preparations are being made."
Alice says to Edgar "Well, I need to find Betty. Have you seen her?"
Edgar says to Alice "Uh..."
Evelyn says to Alice "She escaped.With Toni Topaz."

In Andrews house,kitchen
Archie says to Mary "Mom, that was Veronica on the phone with some amazing news. She said she's giving me the El Royale. That I legit own the gym now, free and clear."
Mary says to Archie "That's a very generous gift, Archie. But still, I'm interested in where you two stand romantically."
Someone Knocks at door
Mary says to Archie "Are we expecting anyone?"
Archie opens the door and there is a box on the door step
In Pop's
Archie says to the gang "Someone left mine at the door."
Jughead says to the gang "Mine, too.My dad or Jellybean could have found it."

Jughead says to Archie "I don't think so."
Jughead says to the gang "And I've been trying Betty at the Farm, but she's not answering."
Archie says to Jughead "The invitations say not to tell anyone and not to bring our phones."
Veronica says to Archie and Jughead "So it's a trap."
Jughead says to Archie and Veronica "Was there ever a doubt? We don't really have a choice."
In Cheryl's bedroom
Betty wakes up
Betty gets out of bed
The note says "Betty...Please wear this so binner. We are awaiting you downstairs."
Betty walking downstairs
Betty says to everyone "Guys."
Penelope smiles
Penelope says to Betty "Elizabeth. Pretty. Good evening. Come and join us, why don't you?"
Betty says to Penelope "Penelope. What... What is this place?"
Penelope says to Betty "This is the Blossom Hunting Lodge on the grounds of Thornhill."
Betty says to Penelope "How did I get here?"
Penelope says to Betty "I bought you from Mr. Evernever. Just as he was about to cut you into butcher's parts. Now, Agatha here will show you to your place."
Betty says to Sister Woodhouse "Sister Woodhouse."
Sister Woodhouse "You naughty, naughty girl."
Penelope says to Betty "Agatha was one of my mentors. She cared for me when I was an orphan at The Sisters of Quiet Mercy. Taught me everything I know about poisons."
Betty sits down by Jughead
Betty say to Penelope "The murdered nuns..."
Betty says to Sister Woodhouse "You did that?"
Penelope says to Betty "Oh, loose ends.Such a bother, aren't they?"
Veronica says to Penelope "Loose ends?Is that what we are?"
Penelope says to everyone "Oh, gosh,no, not you. You are featured players. The sons and daughters of the original Midnight Club."
Betty says to Jughead "Jug, what's happening?"
Jughead says to Betty "I've almost figured it out..."
Penelope says to Jughead "Oh, have you? Because if anybody could, it would be you, Mr. Jones. But first, two more guests."
Penelope ringing the bell
Penelope says to everyone "I believe you know them already."
The black hood walks in
The Gargoyle King
Penelope Slight chuckle
Penelope says to Hal and Chic "What have I told you? No masks at the dinner table. Take them off."
Penelope Softly
Hal takes his mask off
Betty says to herself "Oh, my God."
Hal sits down by Betty
Chic about to take his off but Penelope stops him
Penelope says to Chic "Wait, King, before you do..."
Penelope says to Jughead "Hellcaster,care to take a stab?"
Jughead says to Penelope "Sure. Arthur Conan Doyle famously said, Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.In which case...whoever it is underneath that mask must've had a connection to Hell and to you, Penelope. But it's not Jason, because he's dead. Even though his corpse is missing. The one corpse that hasn't been accounted for and who was last seen by the Black Hood..."
Betty says to Penelope "Chic."
Jughead says to Penelope "Chic."
Chic takes his mask off
Archie says to everyone "What the hell?"
Veronica says to everyone "Since when does Chic have red hair?"
Jughead says to Veronica "I'm guessing since he started working with Penelope,doing her bidding.
But this was after he got the Gargoyle symbols tattooed on his back. It's why Ethel said the Gargoyle King was Jason."
Chic sits down
Jughead says to Penelope "Because you called him Jason. Cause you dressed him up like Jason."
Betty says to Hal "You didn't murder Chic. After you chased him through the woods, you..."
Hal says to Betty "I recognised a kinship in him, and I spared him. He begged for mercy and pledged his life to me in service of my mission."
Jughead says to Hal "But it wasn't just your mission, was it, Mr. Cooper? Maybe not at first, but eventually, you started working with someone else who also had a grudge against Riverdale."
Betty says to everyone "In the middle of all that stuff with the Black Hood last year, my dad...was having an affair with Penelope."
Penelope says to everyone "Yes, I did cultivate your father's... murderous impulses.It's true. To take my revenge on a town that allowed me to be sold as a child bride to the Blossoms. Your parents knew. I told them. And they did nothing but mock me. And years later, when my Jason was murdered in cold blood, do you think one of them reached out to me? No, they were too busy ignoring the rotting, fetid truth. That Riverdale is a hideous and cruel place, twisted and cursed. And the Black Hood and I, we were doing quite well. Exterminating its sinners."
Betty says to Penelope "Until my dad got arrested."
Penelope says to everyone "Yes, but that was fine because Hal's disciple came to me.Lost, and I gave him purpose. To continue our great work."Jughead says to Penelope "But not as the Black Hood. So instead, you made him dress up like the boogeyman...the Gargoyle King."
Betty says to Penelope "You introduced G&G to our parents 25 years ago.And then reintroduced it this year to Chic..."
Penelope says to Betty "His name is Jason."
Betty says to Penelope "Who gave it to..."
Jughead says to Penelope "Ben Button. Who started playing with Dilton Doiley..."
Betty says to Penelope "Then Ethel Muggs. And then G&G spread like a virus or a poison..."
Jughead says to Penelope "And the true mastermind behind it all,the true king is you, Penelope."
Penelope says to everyone "Oh. Well done. Well done. But now, it's time to play one final round. With you, the Midnight children."
Jughead says to Penelope "To what end?"
Penelope says to everyone "Say it's to reveal your true nature. To prove that you are as dark-hearted as the town that birthed you."
Archie says to Penelope "And what? If we win, we escape?"
Penelope says to everyone "You won't win."
Veronica says to Penelope "So what happens if we lose?"
Penelope says to everyone "Well, then, your parents will feel the pain that I felt. The death of a child. Could there by anything more dreadful?"Archie says to Penelope "You're nuts."
