Mattie & Jay
Mattie: I am, as of about 54 seconds ago, freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Mattie: Finally, although that Geography exam was MUCH easier than the 7 hour lock-in vibe we had for our Art project 😨😱
Mattie: The hand cramp might be permanent, I’ll never be able to hold a pen or a pencil again… What a shame 😏
Jay: The news I’ve been waiting for, I can’t hear about another bloody exam, Mats
Jay: not yet old enough to look back fondly, you know 😬
Jay: Can help you think of a more top drawer excuse not to get a summer job in publishing though
Mattie: but old enough it is but a distant memory 😆
Mattie: um yeah right, dad knows my summer plans do not involve a single book this year, not even the trashy beach read
Jay: Yeah, yeah, I’m in the winter of my life and you’re about to have the summer of yours 🤫
Jay: Not even a travel guide? Boooo 👎
Mattie: Winter is a little harsh
Mattie: but it’s the end of August, definitely
Mattie: you’re such a 🤓
Mattie: I already know where I’m going
Jay: Ouch x 2
Jay: but go ahead and tell me your plans then
Mattie: Noah loves it
Mattie: How many countries are you trying to tick off yourselves this summer?
Jay: He loves to spend a week in each, with 3-4 days as a rule of thumb per city but some are doable in 2, I’ll be able to budge him and keep you posted
Mattie: That sums you both up so well
Mattie: You know where to direct my postcards
Mattie: Well, I will *hopefully* be spending some time in Switzerland, if all goes well
Jay: Um… that’s a winter destination, we’re discussing summer here
Mattie: Who asked you to write the rulebook, Miss 🤔🤪
Mattie: Switzerland still very much exists in Summertime, it looks beautiful, actually
Mattie: But I do have a reason for going
Mattie: Reasons
Jay: I’m getting the feeling that those reasons aren’t summer glacier skiing in St Moritz and the melted mountain snow making the Rhine Falls a must visit
Jay: so, which boy has keys to his parents' holiday place and how long have you wanted this scenario to play out?
Mattie: Whilst those are all undoubtedly excellent reasons, definitely worthy of a best-selling beach read, so maybe you should pitch them to dad instead actually…
Mattie: You know our actual mum ended up having those twin girls, when I was like 3 and you were what, 9 or 10? Obviously you know but anyway
Mattie: And we’ve not had contact with them because it might make us super emo and dad and the grandparents didn’t really want us having contact with real mum because it’d be damaging, potentially
Mattie: Well, I’m finally gonna do it, schools over, I’m an adult now too
Mattie: And she isn’t Benny’s mum, they aren’t his sisters, so I don’t feel like I have to wait for him to age up to do this
Mattie: They board in Switzerland, assumedly they’ll be back for the Summer, they have a house here too but I’d like to go see them there, as that’s where they spend most of their time
Mattie: If they want to, grandma has to set it up but she will now I’ve said I want to
Jay: Mattie
Jay: slow down
Jay: When did you decide this?
Mattie: I’ve been thinking about it seriously since I was about 16
Mattie: but then they would’ve been 13 and I don’t think anyone needs any more potential angst and drama at that age, it wouldn’t have been fair
Mattie: You can’t say you’ve never thought about it, surely?
Jay: What did dad say when you told him?
Mattie: He didn’t say I couldn’t, or shouldn’t
Mattie: Obviously he had plenty of words of warning about her
Mattie: and I respect his experience, of course
Jay: but you’re going to do it anyway
Mattie: It’s different
Mattie: I’m not going to be in a relationship with her, or ask her to raise any children
Mattie: I just want to meet her
Jay: Meeting her is inviting her to have a relationship with you, why would you want to open that door? It’s closed for a reason
Mattie: Because I want to know her, who she is
Mattie: even if it’s bad, she’s still half of me, us
Mattie: And if she was that keen to form a relationship with us, she would’ve tried long before now and we’d know about it
Mattie: That’s evidently off the table
Jay: Off the table when she didn’t want it, but when you show up wanting it, that’s her way in, that’s who she is
Mattie: It’s been a long time
Mattie: Like my whole life and I’ll be 19 soon
Mattie: She’s clearly got her own life that she’s happy with, she’s still with the twins dad
Mattie: I’m not saying you have to come if you don’t want to
Jay: People don’t change that much
Jay: she’s happy, they’re bound to be miserable
Mattie: All the more reason to meet them
Mattie: but we don’t know that, Grandma would’ve told me if they were, I think
Mattie: and done something about that, more to the point
Mattie: And Dad changed, people can, I don’t think that blanket statement is fair
Jay: No, she tried to change him and couldn’t, he met Ava and was allowed to be himself
Jay: Grandma has kept us away from them as agreed, if she really thought you should meet, she’d have done something about that
Mattie: She didn’t want us to be jealous, as kids
Mattie: and that makes sense
Mattie: but I’m not now and I’m not trying to steal their life or anything like that
Mattie: I know she did a lot wrong, to dad, to us and in general but that doesn’t change the fact I want to do this
Jay: It doesn’t make sense to me that you’d want to do this
Mattie: I know you feel differently
Mattie: and I get it, for you
Mattie: It’s just weird to me that they’re out there and I’ve basically never met her, never mind the twins
Mattie: Why wouldn’t I do that, if I have the chance to
Jay: Them maybe, but she doesn’t need to be involved if Grandma is helping you
Mattie: I have no idea if she will want to see me
Mattie: but I want to know that I reached out to her too
Jay: Like you said, if she wanted to, she could’ve
Jay: I don’t want you getting hurt
Mattie: I know you don’t
Mattie: and I do appreciate the concern, no sarcasm intended
Jay: Yeah, none detected
Mattie: I’ll be fine, I promise
Mattie: I have no expectations so I can’t be let down
Jay: If you had 0 you wouldn’t be reaching out, you’ve been thinking about this for years, of course there’s some expectation there
Jay: be careful
Mattie: I just want to know what they’re like, whatever that entails
Mattie: Obviously if she/they refuse to see me, that’ll be disappointing
Mattie: but I don’t think Grandma would’ve offered if there was no chance they’d also be into it
Mattie: Assumedly, they’ve discussed this possibility too
Mattie: I’m always careful, it’s my middle name 😋
Jay: Your middle name is unsuspecting or unjaded, something like that
Mattie: A prefix, how classy 💅
Mattie: What’s yours?
Jay: Take the un away and boom, there’s mine
Mattie: Oh, slightly unoriginal when it came to me then
Mattie: could’ve been like Jay ‘this baby is definitely yours’ Pemberton-Howard
Jay: That’s what happens, originality goes out of the window in favour of cutesy matching
Jay: and there’s no need for my middle name to do the work my actual already did
Mattie: Benny is lucky there’s been no 2nd child in his case
Mattie: I’ll just be here languishing in the forgotten middle 🥺
Mattie: At least Jay is a decent name, compared to her usual naming style, a win there
Jay: Yours is fine too, since Tilly never stuck
Mattie: Not on paper though
Mattie: Let’s just pretend your official name is Jacinta or something too 😆
Jay: Let’s not
Mattie: Alright spoilsport
Mattie: Keep your cool name 😎
Mattie: They can call me Mathilde, so Swiss
Jay: She owes me that much at least, for everything you don’t remember
Mattie: You can tell me about it
Mattie: when you feel like it
Jay: I’d be a proper spoilsport doing it now
Mattie: Of course not
Mattie: I told you I’m not going into this with 🤩
Jay: You’re doing this to find out for yourself what she’s like
Mattie: Partially
Mattie: Doesn’t mean you can’t talk about your experience with her too
Jay: It means there’s no point talking about it, you won’t be talked out of anything and I definitely won’t feel any benefit
Mattie: Fair enough
Mattie: So tell me what you guys have been up to
Mattie: Now I can think about anything that isn’t my exams
Jay: You mean well, but I remember her like a kid, I hate her and I am afraid of her like a kid, it’d sound crazy
Jay: maybe unreliable should be my middle name
Mattie: That makes sense, you have nothing else to go on
Mattie: and the potential risk of finding out what she’s like now outweighs any potential reward for you
Mattie: I do understand, it’s just different for me, that’s all
Mattie: It doesn’t mean either of us is wrong
Jay: I’m so glad it’s different for you, seriously
Mattie: I won’t say I’m so sorry for you
Mattie: because that sounds the opposite of how I want it too
Mattie: but you know
Jay: Yeah, don’t ever say that 😏
Mattie: anyway, you’ve turned out alright
Mattie: mostly 😉
Jay: Oh thanks
Jay: I’ve just been working btw, no news to rival yours
Mattie: Ahh, the joys of being old
Jay: Less cheek if you want to get to my age
Mattie: Sorry but sound like less of a grandma 😅
Mattie: You can redeem your cool and youthful points by helping me pick what to wear to the leaving party tonight
Jay: Surprised you want my help, but sure 😎
Mattie: It’s not my usual crowd that’s throwing it
Mattie: but like the entire year is invited, so I can’t not go
Mattie: I’ll need a little help to match the vibe, I think
Jay: Okay so expensive but not attention-seeking
Mattie: Definitely
Mattie: There’ll be enough people looking for attention without me even making that attempt, no thank you
Jay: What do you have rn that’s vintage or looks classic?
Mattie: [selection from your own wardrobe and Ava’s]
Mattie: 😬😬😬 idk how I’m going to decide in time
Jay: You should decide on the last one and keep your hair and make up lowkey, but the one before that if you’re thinking of a statement eye or lip
Mattie: A statement lip is not lasting the celebrations
Mattie: and I mean 🥂 not 💋 before you start
Jay: 💋 proof works for 🥂 too
Mattie: you have a point 🤔
Mattie: Ugh, I need food before I can concentrate
Jay: Before you go…
Jay: whenever you talk to the twins, ask them if they want to meet both of us
Mattie: Of course if they want to meet me they want to meet you too, dummy
Jay: It’s not a no from me, is what I meant though
Mattie: Okay, I will let them know
Mattie: I’m sure they will, why wouldn’t they
Jay: If she’s lied about us and Grandma hasn’t been allowed to say anything, they could think all kinds of things
Mattie: If they’re anything like me they’ll wanna find out for themselves
Mattie: besides, you were a little kid, I was a literal infant, what kind of shady bitches could we have really been, wouldn’t add up
Jay: We don’t know anything about what they’re like yet
Mattie: Come on though
Mattie: Who says no thanks to surprise cool older sisters
Jay: Venus
Mattie: Oosh, fair point
Mattie: I was mostly joking anyway, time will tell, they’ll be who they are and we’ll see if they want to know us too
Jay: Yeah, it’s out of our control
Mattie: and that’s okay
Mattie: breathe 😌
Jay: I’m fine, I’ve done this before
Mattie: True
Mattie: It’s a bit different this time though
Jay: Easier because we’re all older and I’m not getting a 3rd dad as well
Mattie: No luck on a different mum, I’m afraid
Mattie: We look a bit alike and that has to come from somewhere
Mattie: But seriously, don’t you think being younger was easier?
Mattie: like you can’t fully wrap your head around any of it so you just roll with it
Mattie: maybe that’s totally wrong
Mattie: it didn’t happen to me so I don’t know
Jay: I already had Ava and Rio when I needed one
Jay: being a little kid made it overwhelming and scary
Mattie: I’m sorry I couldn’t do much but cry and be annoying in various other ways a toddler is
Jay: How much you cried around her used to be my favourite thing about you, don’t apologise
Mattie: Well, it was my pleasure 😅
Mattie: and 🤞 I’ve gone up a bit in your estimations since for more than just 😭
Jay: Maybe a little bit, I suppose
Mattie: Charming 😏
Mattie: I’m feeling a tantrum coming on now anyway
Mattie: Couldn’t eat before that exam and now I’m hangry 😡😡🤬
Jay: I remember you saying you needed a 🍼
Jay: we can talk later, when you’re too hungover from the leavers party to call me an old dork or whatever else, that’s fine
Mattie: Attack when I’m weak 😲 rude, smart but rude
Mattie: I’ll try not to buttdial you past your bedtime, grandma 🤙✌️🤟
Jay: Noah’ll appreciate it, undoubtedly
Mattie: If that was an attempt to throw him under the bus as the old nerdy one
Mattie: Both can be true
Mattie: match made in heaven
Jay: Bye, Mattie
Mattie: Love you 💗💗

Ayesha Liveblogs Oh My Ghost (2018) Ep. 9-16
Part 2 of this post because tumblr would not let me save anymore either because of the numerous images I’m commenting on or because of how many times I use the word H*rny 
Kaopoon is frustrated bc Real Jiw is now vibing with her new BF Sun while she is sitting sadly on a swing set [Alexa play Sadness and Sorrow]
Tumblr media
Backtracking to the other kind of drama: Lieutenant Murder is finally going to murder someone on screen (specifically his fellow police officer) because Lieutenant Murder jumped him for getting too close to solving Nammoon's hit-and-run case, which is at this point obvious he committed)
I love when Sun and Jiw flirt through their apartment wall
Tumblr media
Jiw and Sun are dating now but the remaining point of contention is how much Horny Ghost just wants them to sleep together instead of getting to know each other to which Sun thinks “Jiw do u only want me for my body 😔?”
I can't believe that Lieutenant Murder's tragic backstory is that he was an orphan oh my god. Adoption is normal!! Murder is not!!
Tumblr media
Lieutenant Murder was possessed by an evil spirit????? (After the first time he tried to murder????) WHAT WHAT WHAT
Sous Chef Rain is yelling at the restaurant staff bc of forgetting his birthday, bc he is, truly, a perennial pain in the ass
They are all out for Rain's birthday except for Sun bc of his and Jiw (Kaopoon)'s sex fight and so he is very anxious about his girlfriend being out with The Guys without him
Tumblr media
Also Study-Abroad Win is handsome to the point of distraction AND nice  where is his romance? Where is the justice for the male models of the world
Sun's Mom does not know he is Dating and Housing his employee possessed by a Horny Ghost He Thinks is One Facet of Her Personality
Tumblr media
Presented without commentary:
Tumblr media
Win has been politely pretending not to notice that Sun and Jiw are in a relationship and now I'm thinking he will get a romance and it will be Ida, to wrap up most of the loose ends of this relationship pentagon. Based on no other reason than that they are both single
Dkjhgkjgh lmao @ Sun going to his whole staff: “WHO WANTS TO GO TO THE MARKET?” and then saying no to everyone one by one except his girlfriend
Kaopoon is making Sun help her dad install a restaurant hose in the middle of their work day hahaha
Tumblr media
FINALLY PROOF THAT LIEUTENANT MURDER IS A MURDERER. Warning for murder related description, there was a flashback where it showed a still body (face obscured) wearing Kaopoon's outfit on his bathroom floor
They really hammered home the ‘he is a murderer’ thing, he has a bag full of evidence of his crime
In more lighthearted news, Sun's rice intolerance is psychosomatic bc his mum never cooked rice for him and it's Sad Boy Hours
Tumblr media
Sun and Kaopoon!Jiw seem like they're finally ready to have sex (they've talked out their feelings and are going away together) but there are FIVE MORE EPS and the murder stuff still lingers so I wonder what other madness this show will unleash on me
Actually, six more eps!! Ahhhh that's so much time
Oh how the tables have turned now Kaopoon is the one too in love with Sun too have sex (bc she will go to the afterlife if she does -- But if she doesn't she'll be an evil spirit so... stuck between a rock and hard-on) 
I have been suspecting for a while tho that the sex will not change anything. She will probably have to solve her murder to pass on
You know what that is? Growth!!
Tumblr media
Now they are back to the weird energy of Sun going “Now that we are in love I would like to have sex,” and Kaopoon!Jiw going “Sex????? Never heard of it!!”
Against Kaopoon's credit, she has not informed Jiw that their relationship has progressed this much. She's just like "yeah things are normal" bc she wants to spend as much time with Sun while she has the chance
Win and Kaopoon!Jiw are just being good bros and Sun, in tandem with the sex-back-and-forth, is jealous of their dynamic
Tumblr media
Kaopoon has begun to solve her own murder!!! Unfortunately the first thing she did was point out inconsistent evidence to Lieutenant Parin, who extremely Murdered Her
I feel so happy for Jiw when she gets to experience normal boyfriend moments with Sun like these cheesy matching necklaces. <3 Why does Jiw's life have to be so complicated?
Tumblr media
Kaopoon is... spiritually breaking up with Jiw, so she can end the messiness of her involvement with Sun
Tumblr media
Ehkjehrrk Jiw is back to living her own life and a spirit just tried to grab at her and she just whacked their hand off and said, "Don't bother me now!" so she could keep cooking, love that for her
Tumblr media
The employee-boss affair's out of the bag!!
Tumblr media
They also keep cutting to Lieutenant Murder with his knife ready to go after Jiw for Knowing Too Much kjhgkhgjh so I guess the last four-and-a-half eps will dedicated to crime-fighting
Auntie Pu is kind of my favourite character on this show bc she goes from Ghost Nemesis to Ghost Mom all while having Sun's mom as her BFF and Sugar Mama
Tumblr media
Hahahaha all the other restaurant staff (minus Win, who is chill) are sucking up to Jiw now bc she's dating Sun
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Jiw felt guilty about dating Sun when half the things he loves are things that Kaopoon did and now the Horny Ghost is out of the bag
Tumblr media
I can only assume, bc he thinks she's bipolar, he will assume this is product of a hallucination
Reservations on the commentary on bipolar disorder aside, what DO u do when the person you love tells you that they can see ghosts and key relationship moments you had together were the product of them being possessed by a ghost
Sun now believes in ghosts but he's very upset about the romantic implications of this knowledge
Tumblr media
“I think the reason I haven’t been reincarnated... isn’t the fact I’ve never slept with a man after all” HORNY GHOST CONFIRMED FOR DETECTIVE GHOST. VINNNNNDICATION!!!!!
Awww the restaurant staff are all surrounding Chef with support in his time of romantic woe
Tumblr media
“But I want the two people I care about the most to be happy” I want Win to date Sun AND Jiw he's so good to them
AYYYYYYY Sun found out that Jiw made the recipes for the blog he liked (and called his soulmate) and now he's visiting her grandma bc he truly is in love with both Jiw AND Kaopoon
Sun said, “I acknowledge this is a complicated situation but I'm willing to work through the ghost thing and figure out how we feel about each other”
Tumblr media
Cutting back to Lieutenant Murder, he has just meowed at his coworker threateningly in response to being investigated (for attacking that same coworker!!)
Lieutenant Murder wears this same stupid outfit every time he's gonna do a crime recently and can I just say: I hate it
Tumblr media
WHAT'S HE GONNA DO, KILL EVERYONE WHO KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT ONE OF HIS MANY CRIMES?? THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE! AUNTIE PU! JIW! THE FORESENICS ANALYST! ALMOST-SUN? HE CAN'T EVEN KILL KAOPOON BC HE ALREADY KILLED HER AND SHE'S A GHOST!!!!!!!!!!!
“Chef, is something wrong?” Jiw asked, after telling Sun that his brother-in-law is a murderer who also probably hit his sister with a car
Sun said, “Pls don't be a murderer I love u bro” and Parin said “My life of crime is very important to me”
Tumblr media
This is Kaopoon possessing Auntie Pu so that Kaopoon, Jiw and Sun can be a crime-fighting trio, love that for them
Tumblr media
There are SO MANY crimes going on right now I cannot even begin to describe but just know Lieutenant Murder is responsible for all of them
So Jiw has been kidnapped (GUESS WHO) and Sun is investigating every school in the area and Kaopoon has a network of ghosts looking for her while Jiw tries to find a way to communicate her location. The Crime-Fighting Trio Continues!!!
You'd think more people would notice  what a creep this guy is considering that he is literally DIGGING A GRAVE for the woman trapped in his cupboard!!
Tumblr media
Poor Nammoon she has no idea her husband is possessed by a murderous ghost. Which like, to be clear, he did try to murder before the ghost possessed him sooooooooooooo
“You're a good person,” said Nammoon, to a man who has committed at least three murders with a fourth on the go
Sun rescued Jiw via high speed car chase and now Auntie Pu and Kaopoon have taken Sun's car to chase Parin and GET HIS ASS
Also Jiw got 2 attack Parin which I think she deserved to get to do
Oh yikes it's possible she fatally injured him which doesn't bode well for the psychological implications of this whole ordeal
Nope I was wrong the ghost-busting continues
Tumblr media
Well I don't know what's more perturbing, the resolution of that fight or the fact that there is still one more episode of 1 HOUR left jhfkjhkfjh this better be a happy filler ep where Jiw and Sun get married omg
HORNY GHOST SHOW REALLY MAKING ME TEARY-EYED ON THE LAST EP
Tumblr media
The entire restaurant staff is a collective of morons who love Jiw for who she is  
Tumblr media
Jiw won a cooking scholarship and gets to study abroad in Europe for two years so it's Sad Boy Hours with Sun again
Tumblr media
THEY GOT A SECOND DOG THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT'S HAPPENED ON THIS SHOW
SCREAM NOW AUNTIE PU IS A RICH AND FAMOUS GHOSTBUSTER MEDIUM
Tumblr media
Sun has expanded his restaurant business, leaving Rain in charge, and so they have been sent a new employee Summer, who I guess is everyone's new Pain in the Ass just for fun kgjhkjhkgh
Tumblr media
He was merely a plot device to prove the Chef Boys are Bros 4 lyf
In a weird turn of events Parin is still alive with amnesia???? Even if all of what he did as an adult was ghost possession stuff.... he did still try to attack a baby as a teen. That's a thing he did! Are we forgetting this????? I guess!!!
GET SOME THERAPY NAMMOON!!
Tumblr media
BACK TO THE DOGS:
Tumblr media
Sun is strumming a guitar woefully because he misses Jiw:
Tumblr media
SHE'S BACK AND THE JIW SUPPORT SQUAD IS THRIVING:
Tumblr media
Sun is presumably somewhere sadly shaking a tambourine
IT'S FINALLY HAPPY BOY HOURS

Kevin Cage of @spotlightsaga reviews... Riverdale (S01E05) Chapter 5: Heart of Darkness Airdate: February 23, 2017 @cwnetwork Ratings: 0.975 Million :: 0.34 18-49 Demo Share Score: 8.25/10 **********SPOILERS BELOW********** Maple syrup, huh... According to several different procedurals I watch that's a key ingredient in the ink in counterfeit bills. I'm only suggesting that there's more to the story... As there usually is... And secrets & Riverdale seem to go hand in hand. Madelaine Petsch once again is a scene-stealer throughout the episode, tho Chapter 5 really slows down the barn-burner type pacing that 'Riverdale' has conditioned us to and made sure we understood how over-the-top and wicked The Blossom family is. I had mentioned before that Cheryl was like an archetype as other characters seemed to be much more 3-D, and then in a later episode she remarked that not only was she aware of this, she was proud of it and used it to her advantage. She wears the brevity of her character like an armor... And now, as we get a real inside look into the Blossom household, we see why. The Blossom's are as dark and sinister as their history would suggest... And as well as the framing device of Jughead's poetic narration. In the beginning he claims that The Blossom Estate was like 'Riverdale's very own haunted house' and referred to Cheryl as a 'Gothic Heroine'. A few critics have taken issue with Jughead's narration, but I find that, along with the iconic color scheme, and emotional original score, only helps to add to Riverdale's overall unique aesthetic and furthers the idea that Jughead is the right man for the job of handling the school paper and side-investigation into Jason Blossom's murder. He's talented, naturally curious, and he has a lot of free time on his hands... So when he's not downing burgers at Pops, he's leading the show's narrative and helping the town piece together theirs as well. Cheryl reaches out to Veronica, who ends up with the real grasp of who The Blossom's are... Sitting at Cheryl's self imposed dinner party the night before the funeral and getting an earful of the trademark 'Blossom Bitchiness' as Penelope chastises her daughter every chance she gets, and both Penelope and Clifford use the opportunity to remind Veronica that her father is a crook and in jail. So not exactly the hippest of dinner parties... It's more like a Dark Shadows' version of 'The Real Housewives of Riverdale'. It's campy and dark, but deliciously so. I'm not sure why Penelope doesn't want Cheryl to speak at the service, but to be perfectly frank, there is some serious resentment which makes my mind goes to incestuous places... Maybe Penelope was jealous of Cheryl and Jason's relationship, I have no clue. It's actually perfectly fine that they don't really explain it, I like that The Blossom's are more myth then men... While Archie, Jughead, Veronica, & Betty are allowed full blown nuance to their personalities... And like I said, Madelaine Petsch is nailing this role, she doesn't need a character with many different facets, because she's giving so much life to this almost cartoonish 'Weeping Willow' from 'Bring It On' type chick, so really there's none needed. Meanwhile Archie is going through it, he's having trouble deciding what's more important... Football or music. His new *almost* music mentor that Valerie sent him too, Oscar Castillo (ironically played by Raùl Castillo of HBO's 'Looking' fame) says he cannot give Archie what Ms Grundy gave him. I had a good laugh at that one, as Richie from 'Looking' could totally give Archie all that and more... But let me stay focused. We're almost through this. Archie decides that he can do both, but captain is off the table, and gives Jason's old jersey to Penelope at the service... To which Penelope responds as freakishly as possible... Even adding a little stroke for good measure. Oh it's going to be juicy AF when The Blossom's secrets are put on blast, they've obviously got them in spades. Betty continues on her sleuthing mission with Jughead, creeping around the Blossom mansion and making the most of her visit... The weirdness continues as The Blossom Grandmother wheels from a dark corner of the room and mistakes Betty for her sister Polly. Polly's relationship and it's serious nature comes to light as Grandma Blossom reveals that a family heirloom was handed down to Polly. Jason & Polly were seriously involved and Hal Cooper, Polly & Betty's father, stepped in and either separated the two or... Something even more sinister (but as a long time viewer of PLL, I'm totally ready for a logical explanation that just leads to more questions). They deduce that whoever stole & tore down Sheriff Keller's case files wasn't at the drive-in, because that's when it all went down. All roads are leading back to Betty's father, Hal, who was obviously the one who destroyed the original evidence and murder board. The show isn't ambiguous in letting us know as it cuts to Hal literally holding one of the files. More juicy secrets to mull over for another week! Another great episode in the books for Riverdale, slightly different tonally, and the pace has definitely taken a hit, but it all works... It all still embraces that iconic look, sound, and feel that 'Riverdale' continues to coin as its own.
