Betty found herself in quite the pickle on Riverdale Season 2 Episode 5 , and that was all thanks to the killer taking her under his wing. Who would have thought that Betty Cooper would be front and center in this captivating thriller? The killer previously announced his intention to rid the town of the criminals. When the episode got underway, the killer told Betty to publish an article about her mother if she wanted to keep Polly safe. The article was all about Alice getting arrested back in the day for hanging around with the serpents. Betty was initially hesitant but published the article after it emerged that her mother thought she and Jughead were making everything up. The town learned that Alice was not the first-class citizen she was trying to make herself out to be, and she was not impressed. Betty played it cool, and her mother believed it was a revenge plan. Dark Betty continued to come out when the killer told her to cut Veronica out of her life, or he would be killing her. Betty did so and epically. Veronica’s ex-boyfriend, Nick St. Claire was in town too with his parents to help a deal between the Lodges and his family go through. Betty called Veronica trash and said that she was no longer a friend because she was taking drugs with Nick and it was proving who she really was. A heartbroken Betty left the party, and Nick tried to have sex with Veronica, but she shut him down with a slap. Betty’s final thing on her list was to call things off with Jughead. That was actually pretty easy when it emerged that Jughead was going full Serpent and pressing on with his initiation. This all came after the Serpents decided to send a bomb to the Cooper family newspaper. Archie took great pride in telling Jughead Betty was done with him because he was hanging around with the Serpents. The only thing this did was send Jug straight into Toni’s arms, and the pair seemingly had sex. Is this the end of Bughead?! Betty found herself in a house on the edge of town with the killer telling her she was also the black hood killer. Betty made a swift getaway and returned to help Cheryl when it emerged that Nick drugged her and attempted to rape her. Veronica and the Pussycats saved her and beat the crap out of Nick. Betty said that there was no point in getting revenge because it was all done with. Then, the killer called her and said he knew she told Archie the truth. The killer made the sobbing teen pick the next person to die, or her sister and mother were next to be killed. She picked… Nick St. Claire! What did you think of all the action? Sound off below!
