Loopy loyalty serial#
Betty is heading into the light willingly, which means that the series was finally to let go of the whole Dark Betty/ serial killer obsession.
And finally, Betty proposed to Archie (not long after he proposed to her) and they agreed to get married. Tabitha signed an agreement to expand and franchise Pop’s with Alexandra Cabot. Toni and Fangs got to see their son grow up. Cheryl and Heather broke up as the latter informed the former that she was a twin flame with Toni. Reggie became the owner of the Babylonium. Veronica and Reggie established that they were friend-zoning each other as she declared that she would put her absinthe business first and relationships second. It’s almost a shame that this reset essentially undoes all of that.

In all the scenarios that I played out in my mind (and that Tabitha ran in hers), traveling back in time never made the cut.Īnd yet, it’s such a Riverdale decision that I’m also not entirely surprised I coulnd’t help but let out a chuckle as I imagined these easy-going comic book versions of our favorite characters trying to figure out how to return to their timeline without half of their survival instincts on hand to help.īut mostly, I’m just disappointed because Riverdale was on the cusp of greatness when everyone broke through their walls in the final moments that they had to live.Įveryone was so honest about what they wanted from the future - it’s the most progress we’ve seen from the characters in a while. When Veronica told Reggie that she wanted to hit a hard reboot on her life, I didn’t think the show would use the explosion and the comet’s destruction as a literal reset of the show to what Jughead refers to as “simpler times.”

The trio presented in full Archie Comics gear, which, well, is slightly concerning, as is the fact that the only person who remembers life BC “before comet” is Jughead. In a post-comet scene, fans realize that Archie, Betty, and Jughead survived, but saving the world also came at a cost - they were somehow transported back to the 1950s. The plan wasn’t ideal, but it did make sense of why the Riverdale core cast got powers to begin with. And as an 11th hour Haily Mary, it’s was their best option.Īs Cheryl levitated to the comet - yes, levitated Wanda style - everyone was left hoping for the best but expecting the worst and bracing for impact. It’s not queerbaiting when it involves saving the world, okay? The hope was that Cheryl could drum up enough power to use her pyrokinesis powers to melt the comet (because they are made of ice!). Using her kiss of death, she was able to essentially siphon everyone’s powers via a blood pact before transferring them to Cheryl through a pretty steamy kiss. And Veronica, who felt like the outsider most of this season and struggled to find her purpose, realized that the powers she was granted actually lent themselves to stopping the comet. I fact, he was forced to put his heroics aside to let Cheryl and Veronica shine and save the day.Ĭheryl was long overdue for an epic storyline, so bringing her strange upbringing into the mystical world was a smart decision from the creative forces behinid the show. While things looked bleak ahead of the crash, their survival plan came together quite nicely, actually.Īrchie’s invulnerability and hero complex have been great assets to Riverdale, but surprisingly, they played a small role in saving the town. Riverdale has always been a unique and wacky show, but season 6 was a whole trip through dimensions and alternate universes, ending in the most unexpected way and in a decade we never thought we’d see our Riverdalians in.Īfter a supernatural battle with Percival Pickens, Riverdale’s finest came together in hopes of stopping Bailey’s Comet from crash landing and wiping the murderous town from the map. As Riverdale wrapped up its final episode of the season, I found myself uttering: “what a trip.”
