Instead, the a-ha moments didn't land as strong as they should have. This tactic would've helped make the auteur/VHS tapes tied to a grander scheme and Charles' reveal at not being the auteur more shocking since we would've had more time to be invested in the killing aspect.

Why didn't Riverdale stretch out his serial killer activities across multiple chapters? He murdered Bret, Joan, and David in the span of one chapter. Plus, Charles' recent string of murders seemed abrupt and tacked-on. This solution meant that Betty and Jughead had to catch up to where we all were a year ago.īetty: That’s what Bret was going to tell us.
We as viewers shouldn't be ahead in the answer compared to our mystery-solving pair. So, when Betty and Jughead learned the truth, it wasn't surprising in the least. And that Charles was bugging the house to listen to calls. Riverdale already revealed his serial killer gene and that he still had a relationship with Chic. Was anyone else not surprised he was a serial killer? They knew the look on Jellybean's face summed up that she knew she was in trouble. The show tried to justify Jellybean and her friends not understanding the seriousness of creating murderous tapes. In one fell swoop, "Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Preppy Murders" turned a season-long mystery into filler. Take the recent murders away, and all you have left is a bunch of teens playing a prank. The tapes did not affect anyone getting hurt (we'll get to Charles in a bit!), there wasn't a deeper mystery behind it, and it offered no stakes to the characters. : Sounds to me like you two are planning a hostile takeover.Sounds to me like you two are planning a hostile takeover. It's like a Scooby-Doo mystery: no real harm was done because it was all fake with a goal in mind. Simply stating it was a reason to keep Jughead in town and that it was a fun prank/hobby undercuts the twists before it. Mostly this is due to the motivation behind why the tapes appeared in the first place and why they kept coming.
Jellybean being behind the tapes is a nice answer, but it's not the most satisfying. Firstly, let's start with the reveal of the auteur and the reason behind the VHS tapes.
