Sure, the musical numbers are fun, but that’s not why these hours work.
(Yes, Jughead has a new mystery to focus on.)
That is … after he finishes his homework.

(My only question: It’s not like he wasn’t at school.
He was actually, supposedly, at a much better school.
Would his credits not transfer?)
But apparently Jug’s near-death experience changed him, and now homework is simply too boring.
Okay, so maybe nothing’s changed there.)
Elsewhere, Hiram is skipping some of his doctor’s appointments to hit the gym.
At school, Kevin is organizing a variety show when Mr. Honey sweeps in and bans his song.
Meanwhile, Archie also signs up for the variety show, but he’s not going it alone.
As he later tells the core four, he signed them up as … “What was the me-me-mes taken?”
But Veronica approves of the name, and they all agree to rehearse later.
(The best part?
When he kisses Archie.)
(Hint: It involves singing and wigs!)
the ultimate punishment for teens although in Riverdale that’s probably death).
And now it’s time to get into some couple drama.
After both couple’s fight, Betty and Archie end up being the only two at rehearsal.
And by the time the song is over, they kiss!
And we’re not talking tentative car kiss, they KISS.
Betty’s looking at Archie!
Archie’s looking at Betty!
Veronica’s looking at Archie!
Jughead’s looking at Betty!
HOW WILL IT ALL END?!
So yeah, someone’s really watching them (and I feel like it’s Charles?).
I’ll say it one more time: I’m a big fan ofRiverdale’s musical episodes.
