On Thursday night, “Riverdale”’s number one mystery was finally solved, sort of.
In a recap, SFGate said Jason Blossom’s (Trevor Stines) killer was none other than his own dad, Clifford Blossom (Barclay Hope). Although FP Jones (Skeet Ulrich) did confessed that he pulled the trigger at the beginning of the episode, Archie (KJ Apa), Betty (Lili Reinhart), Veronica (Camila Mendes) and Jughead (Cole Sprouse) did not believe him for one second as they are convinced that FP was framed.
However, FP’s confession was shot down when a video on a USB discovered in Jason’s old varsity jacket revealed that although he and his gang, the Southside Serpents, were involved, it was Clifford who shot his son in close range.
Telling The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa explained that he initially had three suspects to set up as Jason’s killer. However, he felt that making Clifford the killer was a right choice for the show. He explained, “Sort of around halfway through the season, when we were thinking about the show and what the show was — and the show is on some level a deconstruction of the Archie myth that everything is safe, that everyone is good, that parents protect their children, that fundamentally the world is a good place — it felt like the ultimate subversion to that, the darkest, most taboo thing we could do, is a parent killing a child.”
Although Clifford killed himself at the end of the episode before Archie and the gang try to discover why he killed his own son, the promo trailer for the show’s season finale on May 11 looks like there will be more mysteries than revelations, Screenrant observed.
“Archie (KJ Apa) and Veronica (Camila Mendes) continue to grow closer. Betty (Lili Reinhart) is tired of her family acting as if nothing has happened and confronts her mother. Jughead (Cole Sprouse) finds himself in an unexpected situation, leaving Archie and the gang scrambling. Hermione (Marisol Nichols) makes Fred (Luke Perry) an offer that seems too good to be true. Meanwhile, the truth about Blossoms’ family business is revealed leaving Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) to take matters into her own hands,” the synopsis read.
