Review of Riverdale "The Ides of March" and "How to Get Away with Murder"

I decided to combine two episodes for this post. The plot is getting nuts! Spoilers are in the following sections.

Season 4 Episode 13
Betty broke in to the "sanctum sanctorum."
No Baxter Brothers contract for Jughead unless he writes a great novel by Friday. This is every writer's nightmare.
Archie could close one of his businesses. This wasn't surprising to me, because he has a lot going on while being a high school senior.
Veronica is struggling to come to terms with her father's illness. She decides to anger him to keep his mental strength up by competing with the rum business. I couldn't help but laugh at this line from Hiram: "You've awoken the dragon. Prepare to be eaten."
Brett from Stonewall does have a tape of Jughead and Betty in their dorm room. Is he the one who was taping all of Riverdale?
Our main four decide to go to a Stonewall Prep party after Jughead has been thrown out from the school for plagiarism, with sketchy evidence.
Betty accuses Donna of planting evidence to get Jughead thrown out. Donna responds that she knows Betty will kill if told a certain word. Apparently that word is not tangerine.
They cut to the scene we've seen before of Betty standing over Jughead with a rock in her hand.
Jughead may actually be dead.

Season 4 Episode 14
Before I begin, I am currently believing that Jughead is dead, as the writers probably want me to. Any other option I can think of is too far-fetched and could anger fans. Fans will be angry if it turns out he is dead, since many like him and he is the narrator. But, I digress...
"My iconic beanie up in smoke" I laughed at this. I don't think this show is meant to be a comedy, but it sure has comedic moments.
Veronica immaturely leaves a meeting about her father's will because she doesn't think her family is being realistic about his disease.
Betty decides to spy on the Stonewall Prep students from Jughead's writing class to see what they know. They catch on to her bug in a room.
Did Betty kill Jughead? Why is she trying to control Archie's actions by making him keep that night in the woods a secret?
Maybe the title of this episode is satirical-- no one's getting away with it. Betty forgets to dispose of Jughead's phone and it makes FP and her mother suspicious.
Hiram is honest with Veronica and tells her that he wants to be strong for her. In spite of their tumultuous relationship, I'm glad that they are starting to mend it.
Archie tells Betty that he and Veronica are with her. She convinces them to put Jughead's body in a place where it can be found and organize a search party.
Betty confronts Donna, again in the woods. She says that she will win because she is "the daughter of the Black Hood" and that Donna will "regret ever meeting her." Actor Lilli Reinhart performs this scene so well.
Charles has been helping Betty keep tabs on the Stonewall Prep students. (They really need a nickname.) Is he somehow behind Jughead's death with fake-brother Chick? Or is that too far-fetched?
Tell me your theories on Twitter.
