'Riverdale' Season 1 Episode 9: Archie and Cheryl Share a Kiss While on a Date
The upcoming episode of "Riverdale" season 1 will see Archie (K.J. Apa) accompanying Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) as her date to a family event. But Cheryl could have other intentions for asking him out.
The synopsis of the next episode, titled "La Grande Illusion," states that the Blossoms will be holding an event for the official start of maple syrup tapping. Cheryl will ask Archie to be her date, and he reluctantly agrees because he needs the Blossoms' help with something. However, it will soon become clear that the Blossoms have ulterior motives for inviting Archie and offering to lend him a hand.
Betty (Lili Reinhart) will get some important information about Polly (Tiera Skovbye), thanks to Archie. Meanwhile, Veronica (Camila Mendes) will become friends with a classmate who has been negatively affected by her father's criminal activities. Hermione (Marisol Nichols), on the other hand, will struggle with the decision to admit the truth to Fred (Luke Perry).

Finally, Alice (Madchen Amick) will exact her revenge against the Blossoms, and she is not about to do it alone.
A teaser trailer for the new episode has also been released. It opens with Cheryl asking Archie to be her date to their family's annual event that "honors the Blossom bloodline." Valerie (Hayley Law) tells Archie that the Blossoms are only offering to help him because they are "buying" him.
Elsewhere, Fred is straightforward with Hermione. "I'm sick of you people using me and my family as pawns," he says. Meanwhile, Alice points out that the Blossom family's business is failing.
But it looks like Archie will find himself falling prey to Cheryl's seductive techniques as the promo clip ends with the two of them sharing a kiss.
The drama is bound to get explosive from here on out, especially since Polly has agreed to live with the Blossoms, choosing them over her family.
"Riverdale" season 1 airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. EDT on The CW.
