I just saw Riverdale's latest episode and i loved it! I loved the separate stories, but I didn't really get the Josie-story. So is Cheryl her creepy stalker?! Because the janitor looked really shady too, and I don't see Cheryl sending anyone a pigs heart. Do you have a theory about that? And what was the deal with the deer that Archie saw crossing the road?
yeah, honestly, i need to do a rewatch, but the implication was that cheryl did everything. it could be a red herring (pun more or less intended), but it kind of just felt like one of those things where the writers were like—we need a plot solution? oh, let’s just have cheryl do it.
and then never address it again; only time will tell. the janitor though felt like someone sus, but then that also felt like a red herring too, because he was so ding ding ding creepy? like a little too conveniently so. the episode kind of read like a bottle ep, so i’m not sure how much of it is coming up again. were it not for the reaper stuff getting mentioned, i’d write the whole episode off as bottle.
speaking of, as far as the deer, i think it was meant to symbolize the cycle of repetition and life vs death, as the other deer we saw was dead in the back of the truck, and the whole arc was about the way the past repeats itself (the reaper or whatever)
