New ‘Riverdale’ Season 5, Episode 2 “Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Preppy Murders” Photos and Synopsis Revealed!

Season 5 of Riverdale is just one week away and while it seems like the gang will be having their final prom night in the season premiere, The CW has released the synopsis for the second episode, “Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Preppy Murders,” as well as brand new photos!

GAME CHANGER — Betty (Lili Reinhart) and Jughead’s (Cole Sprouse) investigation into the auteur takes a twisted turn after receiving a call from Bret (guest star Sean Depner). Meanwhile, Archie (KJ Apa) is forced to make an impossible decision when the person responsible for his father’s death needs his help. Elsewhere, Veronica (Camila Mendes) and Hermosa (guest star Mishel Prada) come up with a plan to force Hiram (Mark Consuelos) into early retirement, and Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) makes a business move. Mädchen Amick and Vanessa Morgan also star. Gabriel Correa directed the episode written by Janine Salinas Schoenberg & Devon Turner (#502). Original airdate 1/27/2021.

In the images below, and per the synopsis, it seems like Veronica’s family drama will continue once again. In other family news, Betty and Jughead look like they are watching yet another videotape in the vicinity of Jellybean, F.P., and Alice, but what does Bret have to do with all of this?
