This episode is one of the best episodes I have ever seen. So let me break it down. The episode starts off with a Serpent/Ghoulie fight, where Toni accidentally kills Darla Dickinson's son. Flash forward 3 months later, and Toni is still traumatized from the event. Jughead and Tabitha are on edge, along with Reggie and Veronica. In fact, Reggie's father is in the hospital, sick. Cut to a wide shot along the river, and the mysterious specter, La Llorona steps out of Sweetwater River. Cheryl and Nana Rose Blossom have a conversation about the maple trees flourishing, and toast to Archie. Dagwood runs into the room, screaming that "Mommy is trying to kill Juniper". Cheryl runs to the bathroom but discovers a locked door. In the bathroom, La Llorona is drowning Juniper. Cheryl unlocks the door and barges in, discovering bruises on Juniper's arms.
At the Mantle Car Lot, A man pulls in with a car that resembles his old car, Bella. At the FBI office, Betty contacts Toni. A serpent mother is being questioned for the murder of her daughter.

The next day, Betty visits Dr. Curdle Junior. He informs Betty that she is no longer pregnant. Tabitha discovers that Jughead is hiding the fact that there was a murder suicide in their new apartment.
