Tangerine is an interesting trigger word. I really want to focus on Betty and Jughead’s storylines, but Hiram is so distracting. He’s threatened by his daughter and seems to be trying way too hard to beat her… How fragile can you be to want to destroy your own daughter? Like isn’t it a parents’ job to HELP their kid succeed and live a better life than they did? Other than that, Veronica and Kevin’s duet paired with Archie’s fight scene was amazing!

So much happened in this episode, it was unreal! OMG did Betty kill Jughead? We’ll find out January 22, when new episodes are back!
