Riverdale Season 6 Episode 2 Ending Explained: Who Killed Jughead?

So, at the end of Episode 2, Tabitha doesn’t kill Jughead. Diane’s ghost along with Jughead’s artistic obsession certainly makes him want to kill him. The hammer appears whenever she is upset. However, Tabitha realizes the depth of their relationship. She notices that she felt insecure and alienated from her artistic world. She identifies with Diane’s story but places her love and conscience above her dark impulses. Moreover, Jughead also realizes his mistakes. The couple appear to be getting wiser and closer after their near-death experience. As a result, the ghost leaves their apartment.

Towards the end of Season 6 Episode 2 of Riverdale, Reggie is still strapped to his car and continues to have visions of Isabella. However, it is not clear if Isabella is a ghost or if she is just part of Reggie’s imagination. Reggie doubts Veronica’s love. These past traumas and insecurities, mixed with supernatural elements, could be the reason for Bella’s strange hold on Reggie.

Who Is La Llorona?

La Llorona is the crying woman. She is the spirit of Martha, a children’s nurse at the first hospital in Rivervale. After being falsely accused of the death of babies, Martha and her children were drowned in the Sweetwater River by the townspeople.

In retaliation, La Llorona drowns children. Additionally, Darla Dickenson summons the mourner because Toni killed her only son, Daniel. Wanting revenge, Darla asks La Llorona to kill little Anthony and ignores Toni’s sincere apologies. We see the “eye for an eye” logic of the mortal and supernatural world at play, as well as the blurred lines of morality.
