we learned the Black Hood is back, and Betty has a sneaking suspicion of who he could be. In tonight’s episode, we see people skirt the line of “innocent until proven guilty” as tensions rise with Sheriff Keller resigning, and the town looking for someone to pin Midge’s murder on. Betty (Lili Reinhart) pushes forward in her quest for the truth about the Black Hood’s identity.

The episode starts with Archie (KJ Apa) seemingly campaigning for Fred (Luke Perry), but he’s really going door to door to look into people’s eyes, searching for the Black Hood. Hiram (Mark Consuelos) calls Archie’s effort silly, which it is, and tells Archie to bring back the Dark Circle as it would be supported by the new Sheriff, Michael Minetta (Henderson Wade), who Hiram knows well.
Hiram tells Hermione (Marisol Nichols) that getting Archie to start the Dark Circle will cause unrest and undoubtedly win Hermione the title of mayor if Fred can’t show the town he can control his own son. The Lodges intend to take control of the Sheriff and Mayor’s offices so they can push through their prison plan.
