Episode 6 marks a return to form for Riverdale, with talent shows, kissing, strangely incongruous Jughead narrations, and nightmarishly terrible parenting. With the reckoning that was Episode 4 and the fever dream of Episode 5 behind us, it kinda feels like we're watching actual Riverdale again. But don't worry, folks. It's still weird trash.

In episode 5, HEART OF DARKNESS, Riverdale produces the narrative equivalent of a good, strong (if weird) mouthwash to get the lingering taste of poorly-handled sexual abuse plotlines out of the viewership's collective mouths.

Problem: Your show is proving quite popular, but there's this huge, gross elephant in the room; there's a statutory rape plot going on that just... isn't being handled well, and someone up the chain of command has decided that this plotline has to be forcefully concluded in the runtime of one episode.

Things get just a skosh bananapants in the 3rd episode, and our coverage becomes similarly less disciplined. Though we cover it in the episode, I feel it's important to also point out here that the act of putting maple syrup on a human body is not, in itself, sex. And if your dog transforms into Tim Allen, you don't need to live in fear. You are not alone.

The plot thickens, the characterizations become more confusing and fragmented, the camera still loves everything, and we get hit right in the bro-feels in our mid-to-shallow delve into the second episode of Riverdale.

In our inaugural episode, we explore the first episode of Riverdale; a disciplined if a bit angsty affair that in no way prepares us for the weirdness just over the horizon.
