LOL so the Riverdale link for the last episode was up on time.
After seven years, Riverdale comes to an end. And I didn't expect an ending like this. But that said, I also can't say I dislike this ending. We watched these character going through year after year of hell and its somewhat happy endingish.
So we start with a flashforward with an Eight Six year old Betty who's learned Jughead has passed away. Betty's now the last of the gang to survive. Betty wants to visit Riverdale one last time and her granddaughter promises to take her there the next day. That night Betty is visited by Angel/Writer Jughead who takes her back to the last day of high school so she can see her friends one last time.
Pop's apparently dies before the kids graduate high school. That's the grave Betty is visiting.
Clay and Kevin moved to Harlem together. Kevin opens his own off Broadway production. Kevin will die of old age in his sleep and Clay will pass away a few weeks later sitting on a park bench.
Cheryl and Toni move west and live a more bohemian life. They have a son named Dale. They live happily ever after.
Veronica moves back to LA and becomes a big movie star.
Jughead will create Jughead's Madhouse Magazine (Mad Magazine) and had a successful life as a writer/editor. He never marries.
Betty also creates her own magazine. Betty never married, but she did adopt a daughter. Which she considers her legacy, her family.
The next day, Betty's granddaughter takes her to Riverdale. As they pull into Pop's parking lot, the building is for sale, she discovers Betty has died.
But then young Betty steps out of a car as she has been transported to an functioning Pop's Restaurant. Jason is at the door. And everyone is there (well, of the cast that still worked on the show. Funny how this reminds me of what they wanted to do with the final episode of SPN with everyone in the roadhouse but COVID with everyone waiting inside). And as the show ends, Betty joins the other three at the table and in the Hereafter.
