Percival Pickens: Right, let’s try this again, shall we?
Archie: I don’t think so. You took your shot and you missed!

Toni: I could step it up a notch. There’s an old tradition that’s due for a Cirque du Soleil-type reinvention.
Tabitha: What tradition?
Toni: It’s a little thing we call, “The Serpent Dance.”

Burn her, Cheryl! Burn your mother. Okay, focus! Visualize it and make her pay for all the pain she’s caused you. Set her ass on fire!

Betty

Cheryl: Nana, poor Darius has burned to a crisp. He’s nothing more than a pile of ash! I’m certain it’s Abigail’s doing.
Nana Blossom: That doll … it hasn’t twitched all night.
[Cheryl touches the doll]
Cheryl: It’s cold to the touch. What new bedevilment is this?

And with that, a huge congratulations to the newest member of the Riverdale town council, Percival Pickens!

Alice

Kevin: I should tell you, Toni. It’s not easy for me to say this, but I’m filing for primary custody of Baby Anthony.
Toni: Don’t! Kevin, please don’t do this.

Archie: Come on, Cheryl, we’re the good guys.
Cheryl: Spoken like a true villain.

Archie: Cheryl, have you had any private contact from Percival Pickens? Did he stop by to interview you?
Cheryl: For a census? Yes, but I was taking a buttermilk bath, so I couldn’t receive him. Why for?
Betty: We’re worried his intentions for Riverdale aren’t above board.
Jughead: We think he’s recruiting people to his side.
Cheryl: For some nefarious agenda? Honestly, I’d be more worried about an angry mob dragging me into the forest in the middle of the night and burning me at the stake.

Abigail: Tomissina lived her life passionately and drank deeply from the juices of the world. Until she was murdered by a warlock pirate.
[Toni laughs]
Toni: What are you talking about? There’s no such thing as a warlock pirate.

Kevin: Thank you so much for inviting me, Hermione.
Hermione: Oh, not at all, Kevin! I know you’re a superfan. And this is going to be an extra special episode of reality television. All about how Veronica and I are dealing with the emotional fallout of Hiram’s tragic death.
Veronica: Wait, is that what we’re doing here?!
Hermione: Don’t worry, Honey. I’ll guide you through it.

Veronica: My father, Hiram Lodge, is dead.
[The crowd murmurs]
Veronica: He died under mysterious violent circumstances. I’m fine, but please, rejoice! Riverdale’s Big Bad will be tormenting us no longer.

Jughead: Some things I can do as before: read, eat hamburgers, kiss Tabitha. But there are other things that I may never be able to do again. The fact of the matter is my world shattered. The question now was, how will I rebuild?

Riverdale Quotes

Alice: These diaries are your past, and your past is crushing you. Edgar says that...
Betty: What, Mom? What does some guru who’s running a heaven’s gate commune for pregnant runaways and wives of serial killers have to say about my diaries?
Alice: We know that you look down on the Farm, Betty. But, Edgar has done nothing but help me. He’s encouraged me to embrace everything that I was ashamed of and become the best version of myself.

Veronica: What's happening out there? Do we know? Is it about me?
Jughead: I have a strong inkling, and no. Also, I'd let it go.
Veronica: Yes, but you're you and I'm me. You do you, girl. I'll be back.
[She leaves]
Kevin: What was it like before she got here? I honestly cannot remember.
