RIVERDALE S2 THEORY
So it’s become popular knowledge that Sabrina the Teenage Witch (Sabrina Spellman) will be arriving to Riverdale at some point in the shows future, so here’s my theories on how she’ll tie into the story:
SOUTHSIDE SERPENTS / THE COOPERS
It was confirmed that Alice Cooper grew up on the Southside, which obviously leads to the question was she a Southside Serpent? However, what if that wasn’t the only thing that tied her to the Southside? What if she still had family there?
With Jugheads new mysterious foster parents, I can see Sabrina tying into the story in two ways; either she is the daughter of these foster parents, or/and the foster family is related to the Coopers, and to Alice. We know Alice definitely has some secrets she’s not telling her family, so what if one of these secrets is that her side of the family actually had magic running throughout the generations?
We know she married into the Cooper family as Hal is the one to tell us the truth about the Cooper/Blossom feud, therefore it makes sense for the Blossoms to not possess these talents. However, if Alice did inherit these magical powers, its likely that she might’ve passed them onto her children.
This would explain Betty's condition/split personality. When she digs her nails in her hands, she’s literally suppressing the magic that she doesn’t know she has. As she says herself, 'There's an overwhelming darkness within her that she cannot control, and it makes her do crazy things'.
This also would explain Alices initial distaste towards the idea of Polly having children, as Polly may also be carrying the gene. To carry the gene with Blossom blood would also most likely not be the ideal scenario for Alice Cooper.
But where is Sabrina in all this? My prediction for this season is that we see Sabrina and Jughead build a friendship through their living together in the foster house or through Southside High. She may or may not know of Bettys relationship with Jughead, but after seeing Betty in Southside High approaching Jughead, she may decide to use Jughead as a way to get close to her cousin(?).
Also may I just mention we don’t know Alices’ maiden name. Just saying.
THE BLOSSOMS
Many people have theorised the possibility of a ‘zombie apocalypse’ happening in Riverdale, as an arc of the Archie Comics explored this possibility. In the original comics, the apocalypse happened after Sabrina brought Jughead's dog back to life and accidentally initiated the apocalypse. Personally, I hope the show doesn’t follow through with the zombie apocalypse arc, however there is one big clue as to this being a possibility.
Cheryl has now seen her brother Jason as a zombie twice now. My theory for this is that Sabrina is actually a blossom, and that she will arrive in Riverdale in solidarity for Cheryl and her mother. However, being a Blossom, the magic gene may run in the Blossom family rather than the Coopers. Which explains how Cheryl could predict a zombie apocalypse coming.
I believe that the death of her brother caused Cheryls ‘magic’ genes to kick into full gear, therefore allowing her to predict a possible zombie apocalypse through visions of her dead brother. As Penelope Blossom married into the family, Cliff would be the parent to carry down the gene. Therefore, Sabrina would have to be related to Nana Blossom, and therefore Sabrina arriving in Riverdale could also be caused by her need to look after Nana Blossom.
These are just two of my possible theories on the upcoming season, what do you guys think?
