Riverdale Chapters 30 & 31: Carrie the Musical

It’s time for Kevin’s big play! We discuss the play adaptations of Carrie, why it’s so important for Cheryl, the mishandling of Ethel and the characters reaching a place of forgiveness. But first we cover Archie walking down a dark path, Choni’s big kiss, Hiram’s empire crumbling, Chic getting the Cooper family into trouble and some heavy discussion on conversion therapy (a chapter is listed for that in case you want to skip it).
