As CW mystery shows have demonstrated, fan theories should always be taken with a hearty pinch of salt.
For all its teen angst and steamy romances, Riverdale boasts one of the most complex soap opera plots on TV, and fans never know when their detailed theories will get second-guessed by the show’s unpredictable writers.
Riverdale returns tonight, but given that this episode will introduce the show’s second spin-off (after Sabrina), it’s not expected to reveal any answers about Jughead’s mysterious demise.
Riverdale season 4 continues on February 5 on The CW and February 6 on Netflix UK.
