Riverdale episode 13 (finale) spoilers: Answers and possible deaths

What’s the story going to be about on Riverdale episode 13? This will mark the season 1 finale, and it’s a chance to wrap everything up … or at least some things. The show already has a season 2 on the way, and if there’s one thing that we feel pretty confident about at the moment, it’s that this won’t be a show that ties everything up with a big cherry red bow. Its bread and butter comes via the tease, the mystery, and the drama. It’s leveraged social media so much over the course of its first season that the network knows whatever bombshells they drop will be hash-tagged everywhere.

The first thing we love about the Riverdale finale is the title of the episode — “The Sweet Hereafter.” It’s such a creepy name for a show with some creepy tendencies. There are both references to film and literature, so if you want to connect the dots on this in some way there is a lot to work with here. What the title probably reminds us of the most is Afterlife with Archie, the creepy alternate-universe zombie story written by Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. There have been rumblings of this being integrated into the show, but we’d still be shocked to see it happen given that once that happens, you cannot put the toothpaste back into the metaphorical tube.

Below, we can give you some of the confirmed details for the Riverdale finale.

Riverdale episode 13 synopsis – “Archie (KJ Apa) and Veronica (Camila Mendes) continue to grow closer. Betty (Lili Reinhart) is tired of her family acting as if nothing has happened and confronts her mother. Jughead (Cole Sprouse) finds himself in an unexpected situation, leaving Archie and the gang scrambling. Hermione (Marisol Nichols) makes Fred (Luke Perry) an offer that seems too good to be true. Meanwhile, the truth about Blossom’s family business is revealed leaving Cheryl (Madelain Petsch) to take matters into her own hands.”

The big reveals in the finale should pertain to the Blossom family, and we have to wonder how much will they be a part of the second season, especially given what we know about Jason and Clifford now?
