Things have changed in the small town of Riverdale and it was only just the beginning. At the town's popular diner, Betty Cooper and Gwen Stacy are being confronted by their friends, Veronica Lodge and Archie Andrews, as they inform them of some shocking news the revolve around FP Jones and his recent arrest for the murder of Jason Blossom.

Archie: Someone planted the gun, Jason's murder weapon, in a closet in FP's trailer. It wasn't there when we searched for it. He's being framed, Betty.

Betty: Well, maybe you didn't see it.

Veronica: We're not talking about the Vogue closet here, Bee...

Gwen: Well, maybe you looked in the wrong one.

Veronica: It's a trailer with literally one closet. There was no lockbox. No gun. Whatever Sheriff Keller is saying he found, it wasn't there.

Gwen and Betty look at each other as they begin to listen to the both of them and consider that Archie and Veronica could be telling the truth.

Archie: Look, we need to tell Jughead his dad's innocent. Where is Jughead?

Betty: I don't know. I tried calling him. I left him messages. He's not answering his phone.

Veronica: In the meantime...

Gwen: Should we talk to Sheriff Keller or my Dad?

Archie: No. Not until we tell our parents.

Veronica: That we broke into FP's trailer?

Archie: My dad will know what to do.

    Later that night Betty, Archie, Veronica, and Gwen have gathered their parents have all gathered together at The Parker home to discuss the news they have. As the four teens are telling their parents, Peter and MJ are ease dropping from the top of the stairs.

Fred Andrews You did what?

Archie: We had to make sure FP wasn't involved in Jason's murder.

Alice Cooper: And now we know the truth. He was.

Betty: What? Mom, no. We just told you.

Archie: The gun was planted.

Veronica: By whoever killed Jason.

Gwen: FP is being set up

Hermione Lodge: Couldn't you have just missed it?

May Parker: Like under his bed or in the bathroom, maybe?

Alice Cooper: Yeah, excuse me if I trust the detection skills of an officer of the law over four amateur sleuths.

Betty: Mom, you're the one who asked Veronica to break in!
