Review of Riverdale's "Tangerine"
Season 4 Episode 9
The following post contains spoilers.
The plot moved extremely quickly during this episode. It was difficult to keep up.
The writers are dropping clues about Jughead's book and the overall storyline of the show. Will any of the fan theories be right in the end? Only time will tell.
In the beginning of this episode, Jughead's story mentions a boy in the river. Could that be Jason Blossom from season 1 (the original plot)?
At first, I thought that Polly Cooper was crazy. Then, I thought that Chick was hypnotizing her. Actually, Edgar Evernever's wife was triggering her to attack "Betty", using the word tangerine. Weird!
Veronica is not playing games in her ongoing fight with her father. I wish we would have seen more in the scenes between Hiram and his mother. She disapproves, but does she truly care about him?
I was glad that Cheryl was not actually trying to take her own life. Though this show has been dark at points, that would be extreme and possibly harmful for viewers.
At the end of season 1 (I think), someone attempts to murder a main character at Pop's. The same event happens this time. Are the writers trying to remind us of season 1?
Dark Betty is back. She attempts to let her dark part go free during a hypnotic trance. I thought she was going to do away with her younger self, but thankfully, she does not.
Archie is obviously still hurting from his father's death. He cannot give up his vigilante ways, but this time, he goes too far, and he realizes that. Maybe soon he can find healthier ways to express his grief.
Who is Uncle Frank? I've come to the place in which I don't trust many new adult characters on this show. Most are hiding something. Why hasn't Archie met this man before?
And now, for the flash forward. Does Betty really murder Jughead? Is he somehow the dark part of her? I liked that the directors gave us a time frame of four weeks, meaning that this will take place soon once new episodes come back.
