Episode 13: The Crucible
M continues their gay little notes
PENELOPE TEACHER ERA
And ofc they're doing a red scare thing, surprised it hasn't happened sooner
Fellas, is it gay to admit you write poetry?
'If you're innocent you have nothing to worry about' KEVIN YOU'RE GAY.
Kevin the cop strikes again
Cheryl is a lavender menace
With the condition of Lesbianism
Cheryl. Talk with your friends. Tell them what's happening
HIRAM IS HIRAM FOREVER
Hiram should also have gay sex tbh
I get that Hiram is possibly trying to be a good person but not with that villain voice
OH THANK GOD CHERYL'S TELLING PEOPLE
EVELYN
Ngl I love her purple outfit
She's dyed her hair as well, this is her villain era
Archie's so stupid (affectionate), he's not gonna know people are manipulating manipulating him
Mr Fieldstone was such a dick for so long but this episode and last he's been just some quirky old dude?
Jughead's gonna get investigated for communism
Betty in her Gossip Girl era
WHEN I SAID ARCHIE'S POETRY THING WAS JUST HSM I DIDN'T REALISE FRANK IS JUST COACH BOLTON
Oh god Archie's gonna think Veronica's a spy no
Oh so the teacher was actually a communist
Jughead+Ethel dealer era
Choni and Clevin lavender marriage era 💜
This is not a Hiram redemption, I don't care what people are saying. He's just being manipulative and is desperate
Toni and Clay have such sibling energy tbh and I really wish that was explored more. Tbh I just wish Clay in general was explored more
John Proctor is an absolute dick. Don't emulate him.
Archie actor era?
Cheryl: 'ME, AND MY TOTALLY STRAIGHT BOYFRIEND'
But I'm a cheerleader reference? Cheryl?
DON'T CALL ARCHIE PROCTOR I HATE THAT
Also them kissing the episode after baiting Betty/Veronica? Bad.
OH FUCK GRUNDY
GET OUT
LEAVE
Even though she isn't grooming Archie, they're still framing it almost like she's the new girl in a High School drama
'It'll be our little secret' EW EW EW
Riverdale writers be like: 'She has a husband! She can't groom kids!'
Are they having all the police stuff take place in the High School because they've demolished the set or something?
Hermione is definitely also having an affair
I actually love Betty as an agony aunt
HERMIONE IS SUCH A MILF
NOT THE RIVERDALE META
It honestly fees like a slap in the face
'Only the first season was good' No the fuck it wasn't
DIPSY DOODLE US
And here's the book burning

Forget everything you used to know
I think you better tell your friends to go
Stick around 'cause I'm about to show you
The beginning is the end
you gave me free reign, so I hope Archie/Hiram vibes is okay. Set during Prisoners.
Hiram cups his hand around Archie’s chin and tilts the boy’s head back, getting a good look at his wounded face. Bruised face, tender swollen skin around his cheekbones and the bridge of his nose. Blood dirtying his sincere face in dark red splotches. Jaw set in a hard, stubborn line.
“You sure don’t know when to quit, do you?” He tells him.
Archie swallows, throat working, but doesn’t answer. He acquiesces to Hiram’s touch, two fingers on his chin, tilting his head back to survey the column of his throat, the veins jumping under his gaze.
Archie lets himself be examined—he’s a good boy like that.
Hiram opens his palm wide, the warm wide expanse of his hand covering Archie’s cheek. He presses a thumb to the bruising there, right above the smear of blood on his face. He watches the pain flash across Archie’s eyes, but he doesn’t flinch. He looks Hiram right in the eye.
“I’m fine, sir,” he says, voice hoarse. He stands up straight, full height, towering over Hiram. How deferential Archie can be, even with inches of height over Hiram.
“We should check your ribs,” Hiram says, perfunctory. He removes his hand to place his palm on the side of Archie’s sternum, feeling for bones under the threadbare shirt, stretched tight over his body, torn in places. He feels more than hears the aborted gasp Archie makes against his touch but still, he doesn’t flinch away from the pain. Hiram slowly drags his long fingers across Archie’s ribs, counting them one by one. Archie’s breath goes reedy the longer his touch lingers, but he does as he’s told.
He tells Archie to go to his study for further care, a hand on his shoulder guiding him and urging him along.
Veronica is waiting for him outside the door, arms folded across her chest. Her face softens for Archie, turning her into the picture of pure teenage Madonna innocence, but as Archie enters the study, Hiram lingers outside the door by his daughter. The look on her face twists, turns to cool rage as their eyes meet.
“What are you doing to him?” She asks.
Veronica is a storm of fury, gnashing teeth, her beautiful brown eyes locked in cold fury as they gaze at him. He can anticipate her line of questioning—how could you do this, how could you let this happen? She is still a little too young to understand what Archie and him are doing. To understand a young man who desperately needs to prove himself.
See, Archie isn’t angry that he denied him the ramson. Archie understands.
He smiles at her, keeping his expression genial and beatific. “Nothing you wouldn’t do,” he tells her.
I’m gonna take your boyfriend, Mija, he thinks, right out from under you.
He closes the door in her face.
