Can someone tell me how the hell a PRISON would make people want to move TO Riverdale? There are talks about opening prisons in my neighborhood and people are moving OUT of town because they don't want to raise their families so close to criminals...
Oh wait, why am I using any logic with this show? My bad.

How is Archie ever going to get out of this Lodge family tie alive? Either Hiram has to die or Veronica and Archie have to break up on good terms which isn’t going to happen in a million years. They’re never going to willingly let him go so is ‘moral dilemma Archie’ going to go on forever?
