'Riverdale' Season 2 Spoilers: Archie Meets Hiram for the First Time; Betty Worries About Casey's Safety
The upcoming episode of "Riverdale" season 2 will see Archie (KJ Apa) meeting Hiram (Mark Consuelos) for the first time.
The synopsis of the next episode, titled "The Watcher in the Woods," states that Veronica (Camila Mendes) will introduce Archie to Hiram as part of her father's effort to start anew. However, meeting his girlfriend's father is not the only issue Archie has to deal with. Still reeling from his own father's shooting, Archie will be frustrated that the shooter still has not been caught. Due to this, he will decide to take action on his own.
Elsewhere, Betty (Lili Reinhart) will get worried about Kevin (Casey Cott) and his safety. Kevin will try to have more fun, but it may not be the best time for that, especially when it becomes clear that there will be more terror to come after "an unexpected turn of events."
Finally, at Southside High, Jughead (Cole Sprouse) will begin his first day of school. Starting over at a new school can be tough, but Jughead will soon be befriended by Toni (guest star Vanessa Morgan), a Southside Serpent.
A teaser trailer for the new episode has also been released. It is clear that the streets of Riverdale are no longer safe, especially at night. Archie tells his friends that they should not sit back and do nothing with a killer on the loose. Kevin is also seen making out with someone, which causes Betty to worry. At the Lodge residence, Hiram gives Archie an intimidating warning.
In the last episode, titled "Nighthawks," Archie became increasingly worried about his safety, as well as the safety of the people he loves. As a result, he obtained a gun as protection. Betty, Veronica, and Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) tried to save Pop's diner from closing with the help of Josie (Ashleigh Murray) and the Pussycats. But, the diner was ultimately bought by Hiram in secret. In the end, though, more blood was shed as Fred's (Luke Perry) shooter killed both Moose and Midge in the woods.
"Riverdale" season 2 airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT on The CW.
