| ShortSummary = After being shot, Fred is rushed to the hospital by Archie, who is soon joined by his friends. Sheriff Keller gains a description of the shooter from Archie and calls him in for a lineup, but none of the men in the lineup are the shooter. When Veronica searches Fred's belongings, Archie sees that his wallet is missing. Betty and Jughead visit Pop's to look for the wallet but find nothing; instead, they learn from Pop that the shooter did not take any money from the register, meaning that it was actually a hit against Fred.
.
Jughead asks the Southside Serpents to investigate the shooting, but to no avail. Veronica accuses Hermione of hiring a hitman to kill Fred, but she vehemently denies this and tensions develop between them when Veronica is not sure her mother is telling the truth. Meanwhile, Cheryl intimidates Penelope—who suffered severe burns due to the fire at their mansion and is hospitalized—into lying that it was an accident. Fred survives his shooting. Hiram returns to Riverdale, further escalating the tensions in the Lodge family. In the nearby town of Greendale, Ms. Grundy is strangled to death by Fred's shooter.

Following the shooting, business at Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe has declined, leading Pop to consider selling the diner, but Betty convinces Pop to let her throw a retro fun night to drum up business. Jughead learns that F.{{nbsp}}P. is facing 20 years in prison and seeks help from Penny Peabody, a Serpent lawyer, who advises Jughead to ask the Blossoms to testify on F.{{nbsp}}P.'s behalf.

Hiram quietly buys the diner from Pop, but tells Veronica he made a "charitable donation". In the woods, Moose Mason and Midge Klump take some jingle jangle (a new drug to Riverdale), and as they do so, they are shot by Fred's shooter.

Betty receives a copy of her book, and asks Alice to read it. She does, and bonds further with Betty. When Jughead shows Mr. Fieldstone his comic, he says they will publish it, but that Pep Comics will close afterward. When it does, he returns home, and finds Tabitha from the original timeline, who shows him a video of all their experiences in the original timeline and restores his memory. She reveals the timeline is saved, but she cannot send them back to 2023, but can restore their memories. He tells the others, and eventually everyone is shown the video. Afterward, they decide to reset their memories and only remember the good times, rewatching it at the Babylonium. When Tabitha leaves, Jughead tries to stop her. She reveals the Tabitha in this timeline will settle in Chicago and become a civil rights advocate, but will not end up with Jughead, and she cannot stay, and leaves after kissing him goodbye. Jughead reveals in his narration that he and Betty are the only ones who remembered the bad times in addition to the good.

| ShortSummary = In the present day, after reading a recently deceased Jughead's obituary, an aged Betty tells her granddaughter Alice she wants to go back to Riverdale one last time. The night before they leave, she sees an apparition of Jughead as a teenager, who brings her back to the day they graduated high school. Passing through her house, the school, the coffee shop, Thornhill, and eventually ending at Pop Tate's grave, she recalls the final fates of all her friends and their families, including her own. The next day, Alice and her husband bring Betty back to Riverdale, now a ghost town, and stop in front of Pop's, now out of business, only for her to die in the back seat. A teenage Betty leaves the car and walks into a functional Pop's, meeting all her friends from high school, teenagers once again, in the afterlife. She sits in a booth with Archie, Jughead and Veronica. Outside, the apparition of Jughead gives closure to the series.

Riverdale is an American teen drama television series based on the characters of Archie Comics. The series was adapted for The CW by Archie Comics' chief creative officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, and is produced by Warner Bros. Television and CBS Studios, in association with Berlanti Productions and Archie Comics. Originally conceived as a feature film adaptation for Warner Bros. Pictures, the idea was re-imagined as a television series for Fox. In 2015, development on the project moved to The CW, where the series was ordered for a pilot. Filming takes place in Vancouver, British Columbia. The series debuted on January 26, 2017.

It features an ensemble cast based on the characters of Archie Comics, with KJ Apa in the role of Archie Andrews; Lili Reinhart as Betty Cooper, Camila Mendes as Veronica Lodge, Cole Sprouse as Jughead Jones, the series' narrator, Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom, Ashleigh Murray as Josie McCoy, Vanessa Morgan as Toni Topaz, Charles Melton as Reggie Mantle and Casey Cott as Kevin Keller.
