Dial M for Maple

A heist is afoot! In an homage to crime capers, this week's Riverdale assembles the team to bust Archie out of prison, and it feels like the show firing on all cylinders. There are wigs, and abs, and motorcycle chases, and over-the-top Jughead narration—what more could you want?  After Dial M For Maple debriefs the mission, Cameron and Marah say goodbye to the warden and praise Hermione's for calling out her family's "Archie obsession." In The Blue And Gold, we discuss Tom Hanks' Mazes And Monsters and try to figure out which Riverdale cast member would make the best Drag Race judge.

With "Brave New World," Riverdale's second season puts on its red leather jacket and rides off into the sunset. And, for once, all looks hunk-dory—until it doesn't!
