‘Riverdale’ episode 3 preview: Is Archie, Miss Grundy’s relationship falling apart?
We’re two episodes into The CW’s “Riverdale” now, and every indication from critics out there (including us) is that this is a show still worthy of watching. It’s twisted, dramatic, and certainly fun to get into. It’s like a comic book meets “Gossip Girl,” and it’s got some of the small-town drama that you had for much of “Pretty Little Liars.”
In summation, it’s a good show — and we’re still learning more about its interpretation of many of the key characters. Next week’s “Body Double” will further explore some of the different dynamics of the town, while at the same time also revealing some struggles that were previously sight-unseen. Archie’s going to have to make a major decision when it comes to revealing what he was up to at a fateful time — and also who he was with. His decision here could change quite a bit of his future.
Synopsis – “After new information surrounding Jason’s death comes to light, Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) finds herself under a cloud of suspicion and forced to come clean about the last time she saw her brother. Meanwhile, Archie (KJ Apa) makes a tough decision that puts a major strain on his relationship with Miss Grundy (guest star Sarah Habel). Elsewhere, Betty (Lili Reinhart) decides to revive the school newspaper and asks for Jughead’s (Cole Sprouse) help in investigating Jason’s death, while Veronica (Camila Mendes) and Ethel (guest star Shannon Purser) work on exposing some of Riverdale High’s football players after rumors of a “shame book” begin to circulate. Finally, after getting grounded by his dad Fred (Luke Perry), Archie must figure out a way to make it to the Taste of Riverdale event where Josie (Ashleigh Murray) and the Pussycats will be performing a song he helped write.”
The promo doesn’t necessarily reveal too much more in terms of specific events, other than that things are going to get WAY more scandalous — it may be ironic, but we’re going to get potentially more scandals on this show than on a show called “Scandal.”
