Gotta admit, I think this was the best episode of the season.
There was
Adorable Bughead moments
Everyone acting like normal high school seniors (or as normal as you get in riverdale)
Everyone acting like the last few episodes didn’t happen
A great cliffhanger
A pretty good plot twist
More of Kevin and Reggie
Badass parents
The writing in general was just amazing
I wish all riverdale episodes were written as well as this one, it gave me season one vibes and I loved it
(And dont mind me in the corner crying because this episode was heavily based on saving prom and having a good (for the most part) senior experience (aka as Cheryl put it: going through 4 years of hell and wanting what they deserve) while I wont get to properly finish out my senior year of high school)

Veronica’s powers are controlled by her emotions. What if Jughead goes into her mind and finds a way to calm her down? In a moment where she experiences intense fear or sadness that she cannot control? Omg
That would be a good way to make them closer quicker

Not what I expected at all but I LOVE that we got this!
There’s more Jeronica next week too so it’s possible we’ll get at least one more scene where they confide in each other. Maybe about their powers? A long overdue conversation about what Archie and Betty did to them? (extremely unlikely with these writers though obviously) OR like this episode, something else we have never really thought of before.
Jughead and Veronica were looking at each other SO MUCH in every scene they shared this episode. They were also stood or sat next to each other a lot. Not to mention the two being the only characters who chose not to burn their totems. Looks like we’re finally getting scenes of their mutual understanding and connection again!
They’ve always understood each other in a way Betty and Archie cannot. They are the brains to their brawn for sure.
(Funny note: Not that we would ever even get another kiss … but it is typical Riverdale that Veronica would get the power of a murderous kiss right before we get a Jeronica storyline episode)
