We’re playing a game of catch-up and set-up — because there’s a new killer in town, which means more mystery, more intrigue and more Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) pretending to be a seasoned detective from a 1940s noir.

It only takes a few seconds for Betty to overshare that she and Jughead almost had sex — until the Southside Serpents came for a visit — which sets Alice off.

At the Lodge home, Veronica (Camila Mendes) is drinking a mimosa with the Cristal that Hermione (Marisol Nichols) has been saving for her hubby’s return.

They’re not the only lovebirds with trouble : Betty is worried because Jughead put on that damn Serpents jacket in the season one finale.

Kevin (Casey Cott) reminds Betty that dating a Serpent can be a bad idea, and he would know – after all, his ex helped hide a dead body.
