Watch Riverdale Season 5, Episode 2 live online

How about that prom night? Riverdale Season 5 returned and wasted no time in delivering new chills and thrills for the gang. Finally dressing up for their hard-fought prom after battling it out with the former principal Mr. Honey, no one was more surprised than resident auteur investigators Betty and Jughead when the dance was interrupted by a new tape.

In the season premiere, the clues took them to a video store and underground screening. But things are starting to heat up.

Riverdale Season 5, Episode 2 finds Bughead inching closer to uncovering the identity of the elusive auteur, though their inquest takes an unexpected turn when Jughead receives a phone call from former classmate and nemesis Bret.

Meanwhile, Archie makes a troubling decision when tasked with helping the person responsible for Fred’s death, and Veronica teams up with her sister to push Hiram into an early retirement corner. Knowing Hiram, it’s unlikely he will go down easily.
