This is an extremely bad episode where they can't even come up with enough terrible, unmotivated false conflict and have to recycle a shit plotline from within the same episode.

Riverdale is a bad show. But Arlie says something really funny, so we're good.

I'd love to say "Riverdale's back, baybee!", but honestly this episode just eats a party shit sub, one bite at a time, without breaking eye contact with the viewer or taking a single drink of water, or even gagging a little.

It's crazier than the last episode, and thus slightly more entertaining, often by accident, but Riverdale's just sunk in the snot bog, quality-wise, at this point in Season Three.

An episode that is both boring and relentless, somehow at the same time.

Thrill, as a bunch of dumb shit that doesn't matter happens!

I'm sorry folks, we're doing our best.

Riverdale is like Bizarro-Town, or so we're told. And this episode of RDARD is very much the strange mirror-twin of the previous one-- listen to find out how!

Also, listen to find out what the fuck the title means.

The episode wasn't so bad... OR SO IT SEEMED.

Come for the wild insanity of the plot, stay for Quinn achieving a very high power level.

This episode is wretched and deeply frustrating, but don't you worry-- the cast of Riverdo's and Riverdon'ts is ready to kick it into an entirely different gear to force entertainment into this non-entertainment-shaped aperture.

Buckle up, folks, this is easily one of the worst episodes yet.

The misery continues as everyone is dumb and nearly all action is unmotivated. However, there are some good things here, like the shark-jumping potential getting supercharged, and some gnarly new stupid names.

In our experience, there are 2 kinds of shitty Riverdale episodes. One is the kind that's boring and painful to get through. The other is shitty in a way that generates utter chaos in the ensuing conversation and analysis.

This Riverdale episode is the second kind of shitty Riverdale episode.

So, probably the weirdest thing about this episode is how the writers, with a shocking degree of consistency, set up a scene, escalate it,
