The angel of death had once more come to Riverdale. Midge Klump's gruesome murder had gutted the entire town. And in grief brought us together...

"I have a theory. It's a copycat killer. And who coincidentally showed up in Riverdale just after Mr. Svenson was killed? And has been giving us creepy vibes ever since? Chic. He has a temper too." Jughead tells us as we all sit in Pop's after Midge's funeral.

"Chic is here because I went to the hostel to get him. And yes, he's weird, but he didn't know Midge so moving on..." Betty tells him.

"What if Mr. Svenson wasn't the Black Hood?" Archie asks.

"Archie, we were there when he died." Betty tells him.

"I know. But just because he was wearing a hood that night, it doesn't necessarily mean he's the same guy who shot my dad. And now killed Midge." Archie tells her.

"Svenson forced me to bury you alive. He cut off his own finger and sent it to me." Betty tells him.

"Maybe the real Black Hood cut it off because he was working with Svenson." Archie tells her.

"And Svenson would've let himself be mutilated?" Veronica asks him.

"Look, all I'm trying to say, is the real Black Hood could still be alive. I looked into the Black Hood's eyes; they weren't Mr. Svenson's eyes." Archie tells us.

"Are you okay? Whether or not the Black hood is back I don't want the old Archie to come back." I tell Archie as we stand inside the Pembrooke.

"You saw that note, Quinn. Written in Midge's blood. If the Black Hood is going after victims who escaped him, that means my dad is next. Or Moose. Or Betty. Or you. Or me. It could be anyone." Archie tells me.

"That's exactly why I need you sane and steady right now." I tell him.

"I am. I will be." Archie tells me.

"Promise me that you won't patrol the streets or break into Svenson's house--" I tell him before Archie cuts me off.

"Qu..." Archie says as he shakes his head.

"It's just that I cannot bear the thought of anything happening to you." I tell him and Archie pulls me into a hug, and I wrap my arms around him securely.

"Mijas, you're friends with Cheryl Blossom. It seemed like she was taking Midge's death particularly hard." daddy tells us as me and Veronica walk over to them.

"Okay, dad, mom, whatever you're getting at, and you are getting at something, forget it. Count me out of whatever nefarious schemes you're cooking up." Veronica tells our parents and then walks away.

"I second that." I tell mom and dad and then follow after Veronica.

So, I was able to recruit Cheryl myself, it turns out. She was all too happy to be of assistance." mom says as we sit at the table and then we all clink our glasses together and then my phone rings and I check it.
