Apparently, we’re right back where we started with the Core Four, because they’re all right back to their high school selves. Sort of. I mean, Jughead’s getting in trouble for following his instincts, Betty’s looking to get ultimate revenge for another loss, and Varchie is…Varchie. It doesn’t help that we’re back to high school football in the sappiest way - Friday Night Lights this ain’t. But add to it a Cheryl Blossom number (why?) and a ridiculously offensive plot point for Kevin Keller, and you’ve got a real mess of an episode leading into the mid-season finale. Grab your pads and try to score just one touchdown as we discuss “Chapter 85: Destroyer” this week on The Doghouse.
