"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. maddie." archie told her

"and we're pretty sure danielle is innocent too, she's done some bad thing no doubt but murder isn't one of them." andrew said

"or maybe you just didn't see it?" madison said looking at archie

"we're not talking about the vogue closet here, mads." veronica argued

"maybe you looked in the wrong one." madison replied

"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." veronica told her

"look, we need to tell jughead his dads innocent. where is jughead?" archie asked

"he was at his fathers trailer but now i'm not sure." madison said

"in the meantime-"

"should we talk to sheriff keller?" andrew asked

"no, not until we tell our parents." archie said

"that we broke into fp's trailer?" veronica said

"my dad will know what to do." archie said

-

"you did what?" fred and raymond said

"we had to make sure fp wasn't involved in jason's murder." archie explained

"and now we know the truth. he was." alice said

"no, mom we just told you-" betty said

"that gun was planted." andrew said

"by whoever killed jason." veronica said looking at her boyfriend

"couldn't you have just missed it?" hermione said

"my point exactly." jessica said

"yeah, excuse me if i trust the detection skills of an officer of the law over five amateur sleuths." alice argued

"mom you're the one who asked veronica to break in." betty said

"yeah and you kept fp distracted while they did." madison said looking at her parents

"excuse me?" hermione said

"what?" mary said

"alice!" fred said

"actually, i approached mrs. cooper. i had to know if fp was involved. and if he was connected to my dad." veronica said as andrew grabbed her hand

"a gun was found. fp is the killer, case closed, we're leaving." hermione said walking over to her daughter

"there was no gun." archie and andrew said

"boys. this isn't petty theft or a bar fight we're talking about. this is murder." fred argued

"okay, fine. we'll go to the sheriff without you." archie said

"archie, you entered fp's residence illegally. so whatever you did or did not find there would be inadmissible in a court of law." mary told her son
