‘Riverdale’ Season 2 Episode 5 Preview: Photos from “When a Stranger Calls”

The CW’s Riverdale season two episode four found Archie’s Red Circle disbanding over threats from the school’s principal and Veronica reviving the vigilante group by enlisting the whole school and providing t-shirts. Episode four also had Betty freaking out over the fact the Black Hood is doing all of this killing just for her, Betty and Jughead attempting to make sense of a cipher from the hooded killer, and Kevin defending Betty’s iconic ponytail.

Plus, season two episode four had pretty much everyone taking sides in the whole North Side / South Side class struggle. There was even a rain-soaked fist fight between the Red Circle and the South Side Serpents. Archie’s continuing to come unglued and no one can be trusted as the Black Hood seems to now be obsessed with reaching out and contacting Betty.
