Riverdale Season 4, Episode 8 preview: Who’s in treatment with Gina Torres?
By Reed Gaudens
In the latest episode of Riverdale, Gina Torres guest stars to lend Archie and the gang some therapy as videotapes start popping up around town again.
It’s about time that the kids of Riverdale have someone to talk to after a traumatic few years — to say the very least. Gina Torres guest stars as Mrs. Burble, the school’s guidance counselor, to offer a shoulder to lean on as Archie, Betty, Veronica, Cheryl, and Jughead begin to stress about college applications and the future as their senior years slip away. But the worst thought of all: Who is Mrs. Burble and can the Archie and his friends trust her with their secrets?
Elsewhere in the latest episode of Riverdale, the gang rebounds from their tense Thanksgiving celebration, but there’s never a moment’s rest in this town. Once again, videotapes arrive on residents’ doorsteps, reviving the most curious mystery.
It’s also worth noting that Mr. Honey returns this week, adding further fuel to the fire that he could be the creepy culprit behind the videotapes circulating through town. Then again, who’s got eyes on Charles?
