Right in the start idiot Veronica complains (to her "daddy") how she didn't get into her backup school and doesn't know why, then proceeds with telling him the next one that she is going to try to get into, duh, who do you think is stopping you from getting in, wake the hell up Veronica!
That smug little punk Archie making the comment to FP that people die every day, even changing a tire, at least he would die with a bit of honor. I guess he thinks that his dad didn't die with honor? I would give Archie a good smack for that one!
Why must Veronica sing every damn episode?
every episode of this show is a rerun of vigilante!archie and veronica vs. hiram which is getting tired and boring. the dark betty storyline is also complete bs - how has she been hypnotised when she never lived at the farm? also, if alice was undercover while she was there, how did she get hypnotised? only polly was ever really a true follower so this just doesn't make sense to me. i'm enjoying s4 compared to 2 and 3 but i feel like it's not really going anywhere different so far
I never liked any of the Dark Betty plotlines, but it's gotten out of hand this season - first the serial killer gene and now her shadow self could be (or has been?) awakened like a sleeper agent through post-hypnotic suggestion... The writing is so clunky and over the top. But thank god Cheryl finally got rid of that creepy preserved body of her brother.
The one enjoyable part of this was the return of Evelyn, who was very creepy but fun to watch in her one scene.
Also these flashforwards to dead Jughead are feeling very "How to Get Away with Murder"-esque.
When it’s time for Veronica to prove her worth. Time to sing “eye roll.”
Tangerine, tangerine... living reflection from a dream
Yeah because hypnosis enables you to time travel and prevent yourself from doing something... what the fuck is this bullshit? That was so goddamn dumb.
Veronica being able to sell alcohol as a minor was already incredibly stupid. Veronica making alcohol is about the same level as stupid. Not only that, but her master plan was to make the exact same product that her father is already producing and selling. That's a terrible business idea.
That college interviewer should've taken one look at the bar owned and operated by an 18 year-old (or perhaps still 17, because Hiram did say underage) and also watched that performance and said "nope, no way." Speaking of that performance, that was pretty bad. Casey Cott (Kevin)'s bit was especially terrible. Oof.
Personal ranking of the (too many) storylines: Betty > Jughead > Cheryl >>> Veronica >>>>>>>>>> Archie
I feel like I would be able to take Veronica's storyline more seriously if she weren't a high school student. For Archie... eh. It's a tired trope, especially in this TV series, since this has been his exact same conflict since season 2 with the Red Circle

When you think it can't get any more insane... introducing: killer hypnosis. I must say, I like seeing Evelyn again. I don't really know why but I always thought she was the only good thing that came from this Farm storyline and I was a little bit sad to see her go. But seriously though... Tangerine? So IF Jughead is really dead (which is a big IF... the writers would be crazy to let the most beloved main character go) it's because Betty is under hypnosis on a killing spree to kill her dark self. Can we just let dark Betty go already? It never worked.
Good seeing Mama Blossom again. We could have seen that one coming. I'm glad Cheryl didn't kill her. Penelope has always been one of my favorite characters. Glad they finally got rid of creepy Jason... I can't believe this entire storyline though. Toni is all up in that crazy, seemingly okay with it. This ruined the sweet romance between Cheryl and Toni for me. How would she be okay with her girlfriend keeping the body of her deceased twin! Glad it's over.
Veronica does not learn. She continues to blab all of her plans to Daddy dearest and ends up being surprised by his comebacks. Girl, just stop talking. At least this episode didn't feature the words 'Daddykins' or 'Archiekins'... cringe
Speaking of Archie... I hope the writers give him something else to do now. All this beating up people is getting old. I love the moment he had with his mom though and I'm interested in seeing who his uncle is.
