This second part of Riverdale's second season is definitely an improvement over the slow and inconsistent first cycle of episodes. The rhythm of the storylines proceeds towards an explosive season finale and each protagonist in town has to face his/her private demons. Let’s summarize what happened in There Will be Blood.
When Archie finds out that his father is going to run for mayor, he panics. He decides that he wants to prevent any possible problem for his dad and he goes to Jughead. Jug is still investigating the Lodges' plans and the revelation that Hiram has bought Pop’s changes his perspective.
After Smithers talks to Jughead, F.P. and his son finally learn the truth about the Lodge's plans, and the Lodges are forced to tell everything to Fred: they want to turn Southside High into a private prison and Fred’s housing will be destined to the prison employees. At the end of the episode, we find out that Hermione is running for Mayor. Archie pledges loyalty to Hiram through a blood ritual, and Cheryl overhears the troubling plans of her mother and Claudius.
We have so many questions, but I’m really curious to get the answers in these last seven episodes.
And you? What do you think of There Will Be Blood?
