one of my favorite plot beats in Riverdale is in s6 when Cheryl gets possessed by Abigail, her ancestor from the 1800s. And nobody notices bc Cheryl already acts like the main character in an old gothic novel. Abigail says shit like “oh my beloved Toni, what for ails your weeping heart” and Toni just answers without a beat because that’s exactly how Cheryl would ask that. She tries to poison Betty Jughead and Archie and they’re just like “Huh! Guess she’s in a mood again. Whatever. We should maybe look into that later.” It’s like she’s been preparing herself her whole life to be the perfect stealth vessel for her tragic murderess lesbian witch ancestor. Character of all time.
