The first of many format-breaking episodes of Riverdale! Jarchie do a favor for Penny Peabody and are the gayest they have been yet. Josie finally has her own storyline, but it's at the cost of the Josie/Cheryl friendship we love so much. Cheryl is acting insane. Beronica go sleuthing, Sheriff Keller is secretly buff, and Kevin just wants to play board games and drink a glass of milk. We talk about all of this and more in Chapter Twenty: Tales from the Darkside.
