Riverdale Chapters 28 & 29: Vote Lodge for Mayor/Student Body President

Another fantastic week of Riverdale and we get a good discussion out of it! We discuss the Betty and Chic confrontations, Archie and Hiram and right wing ideology, Fred being an absolute hero, Jughead doing fantastic this week, Cheryl and Toni (yay!) and Cheryl’s horrifying plot (no!), and Veronica coming to terms with living among the people her family hurts.
