Fred Andrews survived his shooting, but there’s a mysterious murderer on the loose in Riverdale and the surrounding area. While that’s a concern, there’s a more immediate problem when Pop’s Diner may have to close. Where would the Riverdale gang hang, if there’s no Pop’s? Betty’s not going to let that happen without a fight!

The official episode description from the CW says, “With the gunman still at large and the residents of Riverdale on edge, Betty (Lili Reinhart) leads the charge to save Pop’s after learning that the diner may be forced to close its doors forever. Meanwhile, the gang becomes increasingly concerned for Archie’s (KJ Apa) well being after noticing a string of unusual behavior from him. Elsewhere, Betty and Veronica (Camila Mendes) approach Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) and Josie (Ashleigh Murray) for their help saving Pop’s, while Jughead’s (Cole Sprouse) attempt to find FP (Skeet Ulrich) a new lawyer may have some serious repercussions. Finally, when a past betrayal unexpectedly comes to light, Veronica finds herself at a crossroads with Hiram (Mark Consuelos) and Hermoine (Marisol Nichols).
