In this episode, Tom and Savi are stumped as to where episode 7 falls on the RONR scale. On the one hand, they have Veronica and Archie exploiting children, Betty still pretending to be an FBI agent, and a dance battle... on the other hand they have, aliens?! Savi is confused about the function of war in Riverdale's storytelling, while Tom unleashes a Marxist tirade about how they maybe shouldn't actually make kids pick up rubbish as punishment when a certain someone has funds enough to bring back the town's garbage collectors (cough Veronica cough).
