'Riverdale' Season 2 Spoilers: Betty Asks Archie For Help After The Black Hood Threatens Her
The upcoming episode of "Riverdale" season 2 will see Betty (Lili Reinhart) asking Archie (KJ Apa) for help after getting a phone call from the Black Hood.
The synopsis of the next episode, titled "When A Stranger Calls," states that Betty will get an ultimatum, presumably from the Black Hood, that could threaten her friendships and relationships.
Her mother, on the other hand, is busy doing her own thing. Alice (Madchen Amick) will publish an article panning the Southside, which will definitely not sit well with the citizens of that area. In an effort to keep the peace, Jughead (Cole Sprouse) will take action.
Elsewhere, Veronica's (Camila Mendes) old flame Nick St. Clair (guest star Graham Phillips) will pay Riverdale a visit. She will introduce him to her friends, but a night out with him will not end the way they planned.
Veronica's parents will also have their hands full with their upcoming SoDale open house. Wanting to secure investors, Hiram (Mark Cosuelos) and Hermoine (Marisol Nichols) will turn to an unlikely ally for help.
A teaser trailer for the new episode has also been released. It opens with Betty on the phone with the Black Hood. She asks him if she knows him, but the trailer moves on before the killer can answer.
The Black Hood definitely has his eye on Betty, and in the clip, he tells her that her loved ones will be in danger should she keep in contact with them. "I don't like sharing you with other people," he says over the phone. "Cut them out of your life, or I will. My way."
"Please don't hurt her," a tearful Betty pleads with the Black Hood. It remains to be seen whom Betty is referring to, but fans are pretty convinced that the Black Hood has Polly (Tiera Skovbye) with him.
The clip also teases some friction between Archie and Jughead after the latter looks as if he has joined the Southside Serpents.
"Riverdale" season 2 airs Wednesdays, at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.
