Riverdale Season 2 Episode 10 "Chapter Twenty-Three: The Blackboard Jungle" Review


Tensions mount when Jughead and his fellow students from Southside High transfer to Riverdale High; Betty sets out to find her long-lost brother.

This was a really interesting and okay episode that was a little weird and how everything went down but it was still entertaining to watch it all. Everything around the Southsiders transferring to Riverdale seemed so over-the-top and overdramatic with how everyone reacted to it especially the Riverdale people like Cheryl and Reggie. Because the Southsiders were rather calm about it and they did make some great points about how they're willing to put up with anything for the fact that they're finally at a better school. And I just felt really bad for the Southsiders with everything they had to go through because of Cheryl, Reggie, and the principal not being on their side. Then Jughead was just really confusing with his drastic changes in opinions and moods in this episode where he seemed so dedicated to the cause of the serpent, that he was willing to do anything for them but then at other times he seems so cold and not and all over the top so it was just really confusing to know what was going on his head. I did however like the ending with him setting up a club so that the Serpent's could still be together and be themselves in some way or another. Then everything around Veronica was not all that important but still interesting with her working with her father and doing everything she can to not cause a commotion between the Riverdale High students in the Southsiders. Then Betty in this episode was interesting with her and Alice going through all this work to finally meet the long-lost brother. And their reactions to the first encounter and everything around that just seemed so over dramatic. Then the ending of how Chic actually ended up staying with the Coopers just seems so odd and out of place that Betty would show up right as Chic was getting mugged and she would drag his bleeding body all the way back to her own house didn't make much sense. But all did add up to make a really great ending with Chic standing over Betty's sleeping body making me wonder what his real intentions are. Then everything was Archie was just really confusing and hard to explain with him working with this like FBI agent to look in the Hiram and a lot of it just didn't make that much sense with all the promises that the FBI agent was making with Archie. And just overall this was a really interesting and okay episode that did have some really entertaining moments to it.
