Good news everyone, this is an episode Evelyn has been dreading! Let's share the dread, shall we? There's certainly enough to go around.
It's Jughead's birthday, and Betty is determined to ruin it by foisting her idea of a good time upon him. SO MUCH happens at the fateful party, and none of it is good. Well, except maybe one of the funniest line deliveries ever. We'll give you that one, Jughead. We'll give you that one.
The Glee parallels begin to creep back in, Archie is drunk for two-thirds of the episode but don't worry: his abs are still sober, some schmuck from half a season ago returns without warning or explanation, and a WHOLE BUNCH of secrets come out when Cheryl starts a game called 'If my reputation is sunk, you're all coming down with me'.
Also, in a stunning role reversal, today it's Miranda who has upsetting information to share, and it's Evelyn's glasses that are in danger. We ponder the disappearance of Agatha Christie, discuss our potential porn names, briefly forget what adverbs are, and commit many, many mouth crimes.
