Our story continues. The Mayor's Jubilee was supposed to change everything. Be a new start. But when we woke up the next morning, Riverdale was still, at its heart, a haunted town. Meanwhile, Archie Andrews, who doesn't even have a drivers license yet, is at this very moment careening down the streets of Riverdale, trying to outrace death. Now, I don't believe in miracles, usually, but it was a miracle that Archie got his dad to Riverdale General without wrecking the truck.

"What is that?" Hermonie asks her daughters as Veronica and Quinn walk out of the kitchen with food and drinks.

"A chocolate almost croissant from Bean & Beluga. Unfortunately I only have the one." Veronica says as she sits down at the table.

"A chocolate muffin." Quinn tells Hermonie.

"The other thing, girls." Hermonie says.

"Oh, that." Quinn says.

"A mimosa. There was a bottle of champagne in the fridge just begging to be popped." Veronica says.

"Okay, that was a bottle of Cristal for your father." Hermonie says and then Veronica and Quinn's phones start ringing.

"Sorry, I have to take this." Veronica says.

"Same here." Quinn says.

"If that's your house guest from last night..." Hermonie says as she looks at Quinn.

"It's Betty. Hello?" Veronica says.

"Chill mom it's just Archie. Hey, Arch." Quinn says.

"Arch?" Betty asks as she Alice, Hal, Veronica, Quinn, Hermonie and Jughead walk into the hospital and sees Archie pacing as his jacket shirt and hands are covered in blood.

"Oh, God." Quinn says as she Veronica, Jughead and Betty rush forward and give him a hug.

"I came out of the bathroom and there was this man, thief...wearing this hood, with a gun on Pop Tate, and then he pointed it at my dad and he fired." Archie says as he Jughead, Betty, Veronica and Quinn all sit down in the seats and talk.

"Oh, my God, Archie." Veronica says.

"And then he..." Archie starts to say but stops and glances up at Quinn.

"And then he what, Arch?" Quinn asks.

"And then he bolted. Then I was holding my dad, Pop Tate called an ambulance and it didn't come so I drove here and...and I don't know, maybe I should've waited, maybe I made it worse..." Archie says.

"No, dude, are you kidding me? You saved your dad's life. First Cheryl and Quinn, and now your dad. If you keep this up, you're gonna need a superhero name. Like Pureheart the Powerful." Jughead says to Archie.

"There isn't any new information. Your dad's in surgery. He's gonna be there for a while." Alice tells Archie as she Hal and Hermonie walk over to the kids.
