Riverdale: Episode 7, Jughead Suspected of Jason’s Murder, Our Critic!

While Riverdale’s episode 7 has just been broadcast on the CW, let’s get back together about the major events in “In a Lonely Place”!
What a twist! And yes the meltynauts, the more time passes, the more the mystery around the murder of Jason thickens. The show finds its rhythm of cruise and brilliantly breaks the cliches giving us a successful introspection of Jughead until then reduced to his role of best friend. While Melty’s editorial told you that Riverdale had been renewed for a second season , let’s come back to the main events that marked “In a Lonely Place” aired last night on the CW . And the least that can be said is that the secondary characters were entitled to a place of choice in an episode as moving as rich in revelations. And what a pleasure to know more about Jughead’s past. If his melancholy voice accompanied us from the beginning offering us his own perception of the terrible tragedy that had occurred in the city, Riverdale had only teased his painful childhood. “In a Lonely Place” was the occasion to abandon Betty and Archie to deepen the strengths and weaknesses of Jughead and Veronica, two crucial characters in the plot. And we’re not going to lie, Jughead’s story is simply revolting. He was so intelligent and cleverly left to himself when his mother and his little sister left the family home and that his father completely let himself become a real wreck. This discovery also allows us to better understand the personality of the young man.
This new section was then used as a realization for Archie and Betty until then rather focused on their own problems. The Andrews family knew perfectly well by discovering the terrible existence that Jughead had been leading for years. But it is obviously the performances of Cole Sprouse and Skeet Ulrich that we retain so much their talent knew to plunge us entirely in this desolate and desperate atmosphere . Especially as the episode ended with a new terribly disturbing clue: Jughead’s father owns Jason’s jacket. Did he set the car on fire? Is he the murderer of Jason? One thing is certain, we finally get to the heart of the matter. During this time, we also learned to discover Veronica. If the young woman s’ Was already entrusted to her father and to the rout of her family, she had never been so touching. Extremely hurt by her mother’s betrayal, Veronica confided to her friends that the only thing left after the scandal was her identity. It is therefore a much more vulnerable and fallible Veronica that we have come to know. And we were simply conquered! The pretty brunette is an asset for the series as she is both faithful and diametrically opposed to the clichés of the genre. This is the strength of the show: to be able to resume the codes while bypassing them in a downright ingenious way.

But “In a Lonely Place” was also the occasion for Polly to resurface. After she disappeared and was once suspected of Jason’s murder, the young woman found Betty even as she hid in the attic. Desperate for the idea of ​​having her baby adopted, she asked her little sister to help her escape. But Betty did not intend to part with her sister again and trusted the Blossom family. Euh Whaaaat ? We want Betty to be dead but to trust the Blossom was very clearly a bad idea. Fortunately, Cheryl, upset to see Polly pregnant with her beloved twin, offered her the opportunity to escape to Veronica. Even if Polly can finally blow, no doubt that this plot is far from closed and everyone will fight to have rights on this child. In short, this new episode had a serious advantage, that of leaving the part to secondary characters but extremely important. This enabled us to know them better and to attach them even more to them . “In a Lonely Place” was a very successful and incredibly effective one, offering a new turn in our red thread and we are looking forward to discovering the role of Jughead’s father in this whole story. But we will have to be patient since the series will not return before March 30 on the American network. Waiting for more info, read our review of Riverdale episode 6.
