Riverdale - Season 3 Episode 04: Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Midnight Club
A new set of frequent events in the third season seems more realistic and exciting, starting with another Jagged-led offensive against the recent Golis attack, and there are barriers to delaying the talk, which will make Betty and Jughead follow different lines. Archie will move into a new environment and may make a difficult decision after he is forced by unwanted attention.
Chapter Thirty-Nine" was clearly more interested in clarifying many of the questions we've had about the adults of Riverdale and their complex romantic pasts. Well, that and everyone's fan-freaking-tastic 1990s styling choices.
It's fun and extra in the same way the musical episode was. But it's also full of compelling character moments, grounding the campy Griffins & Gargoyles storyline in genuinely meaningful ways.
This week's episode was more than mere fan service: it was the platonic ideal of Riverdale, this show at its soapy, playful, zany, somehow still cogent best.
Dilton and Ben committed suicide because they wanted to ascend, so this is altogether an extremely stressful ending to an episode, and we are only four hours into this season!
Finally, the origin of 'Gryphons and Gargoyles' and the elder generation's deep dark secret were both brought to light. But even more important, somewhat disturbing details were revealed that you may have missed under all that '80s hair and cosplay.
Riverdale's genre-bending flashback episode blew a number of theories out of the water, and added even more to the mystery of the monstrous Gargoyle King, the thing that has been terrorizing the Town With Pep for decades.
I know that this week's Breakfast Club inspired episode of Riverdale was meant to be a fun way to deliver the Gargoyle King's origins story, but I found the whole episode weirdly depressing.
Leading their Breakfast Club-esque Saturday detention is Anthony Michael Hall, which is insanely perfect casting, and have I mentioned how fun this episode is ALREADY?
