Episode Six: Don't Trust Nuns

About this episode

The hosts discuss the events of Chapter Six of Riverdale, focusing on character arcs and a piece of Irish history.

Join Amy Clarkin and Courtney Smyth as we discuss CHAPTER SIX: FASTER, PUSSYCATS! KILL! KILL! This week: Betty and Jughead go full (gloveless) sleuth mode to track down Polly and find out even more than they’d bargained for. Archie begins his Gabriella era as he auditions for a stage show, only to realise he actually has stage fright, and accidentally triggers a civil war in the Pussycats as a result. Meanwhile, Veronica is shocked to discover her mother hasn’t been entirely honest with her. Join us as Courtney explains a sad and all too recent piece of Irish history and Amy has a meltdown over a pair of shoes. All this and more on Previously On... Riverdale!
