Refreshingly, Betty and Archie actually did have some fun with their new powers in Riverdale season 6, episode 7! That is, before the TBK somehow bested them both. Especially since she’s been leaving him messages to check in while Archie apparently could not care less about what his best friend is going through. What secret thoughts are we going to get to hear through Jughead? Again, my mind can’t help but wander over to Betty, and what Jughead might hear her thinking. I’m already dreaming of the ramifications of this. He’s only heard Tabitha’s thoughts so far, but I have to imagine these powers will extend to others as well. While he’s deaf to the external world, he’s now privy to the internal thoughts of those around them. The new super squad got a new member in Riverdale season 6, episode 7 now that Jughead has developed a whole new type of hearing. to whoever’s burned body was actually in that shallow grave. I’m happy that Veronica got this farewell, but for Hiram to say “everything was for you” is the most grotesque manipulation of events I’ve ever heard. Maybe I’m heartless, but all of this did absolutely nothing for me. Somehow he recorded a message for Veronica before dying, leaving her his rum business and expressing his pride in her. Not to be bested by his own eulogy, Hiram got the last goodbye. Veronica had such a weight on her in Riverdale season 6, episode 7 that I doubt will soon be lifted, unfortunately. Veronica’s eulogy was very well done, and gave credit to all of the complexities of her relationship with her “daddykins.” Camila Mendes did a perfect job portraying Veronica as a young woman who couldn’t possibly know what to feel in such a moment. Of course, I have to wonder how Archie would have reacted to this news, and even though he’s the show’s pure-hearted knight, I really do think he would have understood. However, I have to think if he and Veronica had a stronger foundation, his first instinct would have at least resembled loving her. It was a really nice moment between Reggie and Veronica when he put his judgement aside. I do give Reggie credit for coming around in the end. She so desperately needed someone to embrace her, and instead he pulled back. After all of the terrible decisions he’s made, his first instinct was still to judge Veronica. Hermione seemed to only care about the cameras when they were present, and while I loved how she accepted Veronica’s bounty and admitted that her happiest time was when it was just the two of them, I hated that the conversation somehow ended with Veronica feeling like she had been a bad daughter! In what world is that the takeaway here?Īdmittedly, I’ve never been confronted with the news of my lover having killed their parent, but I’d like to think I’d react better than Reggie did upon hearing Veronica’s confession. I really wanted an epic reunion between Hermione and Veronica leading up to Hiram’s funeral, but I was pretty disappointed by what we actually got. Although she was surrounded by people, none of them were truly there for her, and most of them actually added to the weight she was carrying. Not just because of what she went through, but because she was so thoroughly unsupported through the whole ordeal. My heart absolutely shattered for Veronica in this episode. This event was traumatic for Veronica for a large number of reasons, not the least of which being that she was also almost killed at the request of Hermosa. One of the main storylines in this episode was the “death” of Hiram Lodge. Three of the show’s main ingredients have always been romance, serial killers, and Hiram Lodge, and this episode had plenty of all three! It feels like they’re finally laying a solid foundation for the rest of the season with Riverdale season 6, episode 7, so let’s get in to it! Even if there were super powers and ancestral possessions involved. After five episodes of Rivervale madness and last week’s strange super procedural vibes, it was kind of nice to settle back in for a regular episode of Riverdale. Just kidding, I definitely still don’t believe that Hiram is dead, but I think we all can agree that Bingo was a very, very good boy in Riverdale season 6, episode 7! If there was ever something that could bring all Riverdale fans together, it would have to be that little furry protector.Įven though the supernatural elements remain, Riverdale felt more like itself than it has in a while in this episode. Riverdale season 6, episode 7 saw the rise of a new hero, and the fall of the ultimate villain.
