Riverdale is an American teen drama series released in 2017 and now the show is in its 5th season. As we all know the series is based on the characters of Archie Comics. The series has been one of the most popular shows worldwide.
Let’s recap what happened at the end of season 4 for a glimpse of the next season. Before we start, the filming of the ending of the season was cut short because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even if the season was cut short and had a different ending. There is still a lot to talk about of the mysteries that need answers. Season 4 episode 19 is entitled “Chapter Seventy-Six: Killing Mr. Honey”.
Last season left the viewers with lots of questions unanswered such as who was sending all those videotapes and who was the voyeur-slash-auteur. Also, the cliffhanger of the secret kiss between Archie Andrews and Betty Cooper.
The finale has featured several revenge fantasies about killing Mr. Honey which was just part of Jughead’s story which he was writing for a college admission portfolio. In the story, Jughead, Archie, Veronica, Betty, Cheryl, and Reggie all teamed up to kill their principal, Mr. Honey.
Though, the death of Mr. Honey was just in Jughead’s story. The newest season began with the prom and bittersweet graduation. Then, into adulthood and going back to Riverdale.
