Riverdale Season 6 Episode 1: Ending Explained?
Jughead and Tabitha enlist Cheryl’s help in lifting the curse, and in return, she asks them to participate in her Harvest Festival. Meanwhile, Archie wakes up from a senseless nightmare involving a bomb placed under his bed. But all is well, and Betty is by his side.
She receives a call from Kevin, who reports a dead deer perched on some kind of altar, and she immediately calls it a crime scene. When it comes to the maple reforestation plan, Cheryl wants everyone to worship the maple virgin, who could bless them with trees.
Betty realizes she can’t have kids, but Archie still believes they can and will. At Cheryl’s festival, Archie participates and wins all the events except the last one where he loses against Betty. She realizes that Cheryl’s pagan dolls could help her get pregnant.
So she asks him to take a bite of Cheryl’s special pie he won at the festival, and then have sex with her. The plan works, but Cheryl removed Betty from the comfort of Archie’s embrace and removed her too, before opening her heart.
Is Archie Really Dead?
In the Riverdale Season 6 premiere, Cheryl Blossom orchestrated a plot to kill Archie Andrews so he could “save” Riverdale. It meant stabbing him with a blade and ripping out his heart, so that, according to her, the city could flourish.
Naturally, this was a shocking moment for Episode 1 of Season 6 and fans are wondering what that means for Archie. The question is: is he dead and gone forever? Riverdale has done some information swapping before, but we’ve seen Archie get killed, so how could that have been reversed?
The truth is, yes, it looks like Archie Andrews is dead… in Riverdale. Remember, we are talking about the ghost town of Riverdale which doesn’t quite conform to the mythology of the series. So when this “Five Episode Event” ends, you should expect to find Archie alive and well. Unless he and Betty were actually killed by Hiram Lodge in the Season 5 finale. Be worried about Archie. Be very worried.
