'Riverdale' Season 1 Episode 7 Spoilers: Jughead Questioned by Police as His Dad Re-Enters His Life
The upcoming episode of "Riverdale" season 1 will see Jughead (Cole Sprouse) at the forefront as he deals with the return of his father, Forsythe (Skeet Ulrich).
The synopsis for the next episode, titled "In a Lonely Place," states that the reappearance of Jughead's father in the middle of the murder mystery enveloping the town causes some stress, especially since he has some bad history with Fred (Luke Perry).
Meanwhile, things get even more complicated when significant evidence concerning Jason's murder is "mysteriously destroyed," leading new rumors about the identity of the murderer to circulate the town.
Elsewhere, Veronica's (Camila Mendes) situation with her mother, Hermione (Marisol Nichols), gets worse after a fight. And since Veronica is not one to stand down, she decides to take action. Finally, Betty (Lili Reinhart) deals with a surprising offer from Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) that leaves her undecided.
A teaser trailer for the new episode has also been released. It features a lot of drama unfolding as it starts out with Jughead confronting his father. "Don't you want to see our family back together?" Jughead asks. It is clear, though, that his father has some problems of his own with his criminal past.
The next scene teases the feud between Forsythe and Fred as their clash leads them to get physical. However, it is quickly followed by a more touching scene that sees Forsythe promising his son that he will get better, and they even share a hug. That seemingly happy moment does not last long, though, as Jughead is called down to the police station as Archie (K.J. Apa) and Betty look on. The clip ends with Jughead asking for a lawyer.
Meanwhile, here is a brief recap of the previous episode, titled "Faster, Pussycats! Kill! Kill"
Betty and Jughead's relationship progressed as they teamed up to further investigate Jason's murder. Their quest led them to Betty's sister, Polly (Tiera Skovbye), who was revealed to be pregnant and in the dark about Jason's death. After sharing a kiss, Betty and Jughead went to Jason's car that Polly tipped them off to. However, after perusing through the items and calling the police, they found the vehicle in flames.
"Riverdale" season 1 airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST on The CW.
