WINNING OVER HIRAM LODGE — Amidst preparations for the town’s annual Picken’s Day festivities, Jughead interviews Toni’s grandfather (Guest Star Graham Greene) and learns some shocking details about Riverdale’s history.
In an attempt to get physically closer to Hiram, Archie tries out for the Riverdale wrestling team after learning of Hiram’s love of the sport.
Meanwhile, Betty tells Chic about his darkness and maybe learns that he's a dark robot or something.
Josie actually gets some spotlight when she and Veronica clash over preparations for the performance at the festival.
Directed by Greg Araki and written by Greg Murray and Devon Turner

-Black Hood thread is still alive, and it'll have a "definitive ending" on it by the end of this season
-On Chic: New characters have to be a force of darkness and chaos. He's very different than Betty, but we'll be seeing their "darker similarities" soon enough. And maybe Hal isn't the father of all of Alice's children.
-It'll be three or four more episodes until they finally get back around to the fact that Cheryl was gaslighting Josie
-Bughead will have to become friends again before romantically reconnecting which is hilarious because season was really shitty and shaky about their friendships pre-series. And when the interviewer expresses a desire for Barchie, RAS says to tune in to episode 14 which is coincidentally the Valentine's Day episode
-All the writers wanted Archie to kick the shit out of Nick
-How the
#MeToo movement has affected the writers room: "We push the envelope on Riverdale in terms of sexuality and violence and things that are innate to the genre and pulp and noir. Since the last couple of months, we do talk about it more in the room. We’re trying to be a little more careful with what situations we put our characters in. But we are usually pretty aware, and we have been talking about it more. I think a lot of writers rooms have."
