If Jason Blossom's murder revealed the slimy underbelly beneath Riverdale's surface, as we enter Season Two, the shooting of Fred Andrews threatens to plunge the entire town into utter darkness. As the town breathed a collective sigh of relief that Jason's killer had been found out, another terrible crime occurred, in a space that had been considered one of the town's safest, most innocent places. Meanwhile, Jason's twin sister Cheryl ruled the school as Riverdale High's venomous, merciless Red Queen-until she learned the true identity of Jason's killer. Under the guise of writing for the school paper, Betty and Jughead investigated Jason Blossom's death-which led them to discover that Jughead's father- FP Jones -was involved with covering up Jason's murder. Together, they tracked down Betty's sister Polly, who had been sent away by their overbearing mother Alice. After Archie's rejection, Betty threw herself into running the school paper, ' The Blue and Gold,' where she discovered a better romantic match in sardonic outsider Jughead. Veronica became fast-friends with Archie's girl-next-door neighbor, Betty Cooper, who did some growing up of her own this season. New to town, Veronica spent the season trying to atone for her 'bad girl' past, all the while wrestling with her beloved father Hiram's criminal legacy-and contending with a mother, Hermione, who might not be as innocent as she claimed. On the positive side, Archie repaired his friendship with Jughead Jones, found some success as a musician-thanks in part to Josie McCoy and her band, the Pussycats-and found a new romantic interest in femme fatale Veronica Lodge.

Archie Andrews, for instance, grew from a sweet, all-American kid into a young man acutely aware of the darker side of life-he broke his best friend's heart, had a forbidden relationship with his music teacher, and grappled with whether he wanted to follow in his dad Fred's salt-of-the-earth footsteps. For many who had seen their home as perfect, safe, and innocent, the investigation into Jason's murder peeled back the layers of their hometown to reveal a place bubbling over with secrets, mysteries, and scandals. The first season of RIVERDALE found our characters reeling from the tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom.
