Riverdale Season 3, Episode 9 preview: So, about that town-wide quarantine…
By Reed Gaudens
In the latest episode of Riverdale, Hiram’s town takeover takes full effect as Archie’s forced to face his own personal demons. Here’s how to watch.
It’s been over one month since Riverdale signed off for the holidays with its head-scratching midseason finale, but that time apart from our favorite Serpents and such hasn’t made the events of the fall closer any clearer. In fact, we’re still looking back at our list of five things that didn’t make sense in the episode and asking the same questions about the Gargoyle King, the quarantine (especially the quarantine!), you name it. With any luck, the addictive drama will return with its first 2019 offering and break those confusions wide open.
When we last left Riverdale, the you-know-what really hit the fan with the Gryphons & Gargoyles mystery, as Betty had unlocked a new piece of the puzzle from the harrowing halls of the Sisters of Quiet Mercy. Since breaking out the brainwashed prisoners, Betty welcomes them into her home, while Jughead contends with a group of Serpents who have seemingly gone rogue.
Meanwhile, the quarantine doesn’t seem to be slowing anyone down as Hiram’s takeover sets its sights at La Bonne Nuit, but Veronica leads the fight against her father. As for Archie, he’ll be facing demons other than the Gargoyle King.
