Apparently both Camila and Lili are on the cover of Cosmo for February 2018!

Episode 10: The Blackboard Jungle
NEW YEAR, NEW DRAMA — Tensions mount when the sudden shut down of Southside High forces Jughead and his fellow serpents to transfer to Riverdale High.
Veronica ensures Hiram and Hermoine that she’s still on board with their plans for SoDale. Archie is conflicted when he is asked to gather some information on Hiram’s suspicious business dealings.
Betty sets out on a quest to find her long-lost brother, Chic.
Madelaine Petsch, Madchen Amick, Luke Perry, Ashleigh Murray, Skeet Ulrich and Casey Cott also star.
Tim Hunter directed the episode written by Britta Lundin & Brian E. Paterson (the writers of Jughead's birthday party!)

-Back in season one, there was a neat retro sequence that was the brainchild of that episode's writer (Aaron Allen). Director Allison Anders (Gas Food Lodging) was very pumped to do this sequence as were the actors. The costume designer pulled from classic comic panels to assemble their outfits
-They keep citing better properties as visual inspiration like Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Pleasantville, and Far From Heaven
-The toughest challenge was that they hadn't built a set yet so they were using an actual house that they had to redress to also look retro
- There was supposed to be a sequence in the second episode of this season, but it was cut for time. The writers still hope to throw in another throwback sequence though. "We actually shot this really cool sequence that we ended up cutting for time. The camera tracked across like four or five booths, and each booth was a different time period. In one booth, you had the kids in the ’40s. In another booth you had Kevin and Moose in the ’50s, and in another booth you had Josie and the Pussycats in the ’70s. In the next booth, you had Cheryl in the ’80s.”

RAS says the show will go "back to basics" aka oops they went too dark
"The second half of season 2 gets back to a little bit of Riverdale basics, which is focused on stories at the school, kind of getting back in deep on the relationships and the friendships"

Can you taste RAS' frantic state as he emphasizes the return of high school hijinx?
Remains to be seen if this episode will be a mayoral election (wherein some people suspect that Hiram will run) or a student government type deal.

And apparently all the Sprousehart fans are losing their shit at the idea of Lili and Cole vacationing in Hawaii together. Thoughts?
Anyways, pray for my taste in the New Year!
