When archie came to her at the newspaper to see if she really was alright in ep 13, she pretty much brushed off the conversation about them, it felt as though she forced to tell herself that they were.in a better place. Now don't get me wrong, im sure she adores jughead but there's still something that needs to.be resolved woth archie.... the kiss seemed innocent enough, a lapse in a horrible moment for her, but still....
And all the stuff she's doing to be.with jug, irs just her being perfect, devoting herself to her bf, not giving up... it's like his bday party again... she's trying to prove something and doesnt care the consequences, hence the sad strip lol...
That being said, i think her heart is for jughead. I really do. Circumstances (and really questionable writing) has torn them apart but its there... i can't see the show screw them up...
I can understand that perspective about Betty maybe forcing herself to say that she was happy about how it turned out. But I don't know, it seemed genuine to me

At least when V kissed A in 101 she barely knew Betty, and BA had not been dating.

I hope you are right about her regretting the kiss. Lets pray they both regret it.

However, i don think its done. It might be done for now, and for a while but they are going to bring BA back up again. They need to get a fair shot at their relationship to please the fans and also to get closure on their past feelings. But i wont be happy about it.
I am not sure how they could have BA happen, for them to have a romantic relationship without ruining the whole friendship dynamic between A/J/B/V. I can not see Jughead and Veronica being so forgiving of the idea of Betty and Arcie as a couple,... Both J and V have shown to feel some insecurity about B & A's friendship, I am not sure how they could recover from that if Betty and Archie became a couple and "tried it out." I am hoping the show will avoid that kind of drama and to ruin those friendships like that. And as an Jughead & Betty shipper, I am not sure if I could accept such bad writing to that extreme and still have them be endgame somehow (if they will end up together when the show ends anyway).. And also really do not want the A/J/B/V dynamic to be ruined.

I think Archie and Betty should be left to the comics. Even in the comics though,he prefers Veronica and treats her better.

Jughead gives Betty layers and has her examine things about herself. A/B is just leftover stuff from childhood.

Meh. I disagree and Svenson was a crappy reveal. Why did they make him a victim of a crime if he was killing sinners? It made no sense and it was a total letdown.

I think RAS wanted to quickly wrap up the BH storyline so he could get to the other storylines. I mean with the BH out of the way, they can focus more on Hiram as the true villain of Riverdale.

I agree with that.
They've, with reason, derived 180 from the comic books and as much as I liked those stories, barchie should stay there.
Theyve pushed other ships and stories that for them to go back on it would just be unbelievable. Ymmv.
Imo, Jugheads opened an door for betty, made her question everything that she knew, especially about herself... eugh, that is such a sweet squee thing to write...
Eugh. How can those two not be otp. Lol

But other than that, it wasnt too spoilery, not that it should have been otherwise...

Although.we might not have heard the end of bh just yet i think that yes, they might put the light on hirams nasty business for the rest of the season. FP is meant to do something with him, isnt he? Thought i read that here somewhere...

Thanks for putting up the link.

It would make sense. I mean compare to Hiram the BH is small potatoes. I don't know about that. No problem.

Yeah. It probably wasn't the most exciting revelation about Svenson. I think the strangest part of this episode was Betty having a dream about a killer Santa. Yikes. I guess people are now safe in Riverdale, since their isn't a killer on the lose anymore apparently.

I will point out that coincidences like that sheriff being at the same place as the killer was plus Archie & Betty at the same time then the Sheriff kills the Black Hood right when we see the Sheriff there seems unlikely to happen in reality, but this is a TV show that needs drama. Just seemed strange the Sheriff would be there.

Yes..i think something is fishy, not just sheriff keller but i think theres a little group out there that stems from the time of the reaper.... something's off there...

I just dont think the BH storyline is done with, I really dont. Maybe for a while. But not forever.

I dont like it either and I agree it would be drama and ruin the friendships but practically every teen drama has done it. And Riverdale especially has a habit of dropping storylines and skimming over things.

I think it'll be put to rest for a while, then the kiss will come out and J and B will be upset. Maybe B/A will give it a go at the end of the season. I can see them dating into season 3 and then maybe breaking up early on because they still love J and V. But then those two pairings will take time to build back up.

I am not happy about it and don't want it to happen at all, I can just see it going that route.
