Everyone's afraid to say it, so let me be the first. There is a serial killer amongst us. San Francisco had the Zodiac. New Orleans had the Axeman. Texarkana, Texas, had the Phantom Killer. The list goes on and on.

Add to their ranks Riverdale's very own psychopath, the Black Hood. There it was. Terror was seeping into the bedrock of Riverdale...a town hall meeting had been set by Mayor McCoy. People were afraid to walk the streets alone, especially as dusk approached.

Shops closed early, locks were added to doors, suspicion between the North and South side deepened, fanned into flames by Alice Cooper...as everyone wondered what danger lurked in the dark.

When would we hear from the Black Hood next, and how far into darkness would Archie go on his quest to avenge his father...and to stop the Black Hood?

"To be honest, I had no idea what Archie was thinking..." Quinn tells her parents as they stand by her at the table.

"He didn't say anything to you about this video?" Hermonie asks.

"Am I his keeper?" Quinn asks.

"Basta, mija, this isn't something you should be joking about." Hermonie tells her.

"It's just a video, Mom." Quinn tells her.

"Yes, threatening violence." Hermonie tells her.

"Daddy, can you tell Mom to stop overreacting?" Quinn asks Hiram.

"On this matter, Quinn, I stand with your mother." Hiram tells her.

"Which means you are done dating Archie Andrews." Hermonie tells her.

"Like hell I am! I can date who I want to date. Also, I'm not jumping to any conclusions until I hear Archie's side." Quinn says as she jumps up from her chair and then walks away.

"My parents want me to stop seeing you. They think you're dangerous." Quinn tells Archie as they stand and talk inside an empty science classroom.

"Since when do you care about what your parents think?" Archie asks.

"I don't, only when I happen to agree with them." Quinn tells him.

"Can't you just support me on this, Qu?" Archie asks.

"On what exactly? Is this a part of your master plan? Because if is please enlighten me." Quinn says.

"You know, to be honest, I don't see why your dad's got a problem with it, Quinn. He pretty much gave me the idea. In his study, he basically told me I should-" Archie says before Quinn interrupts him.
