Riverdale Season 2 Episode 18 "Chapter Thirty-One: A Night to Remember" Review


The Riverdale High Drama Department presents its spring production, Carrie: The Musical.

This was a really interesting episode that was a little weird but had a lot of really great moments to it. In my opinion, this episode did a good job for a musical episode because for the most part, all the songs were just them rehearsing for the play so it wasn't so bad as them breaking out into song. it was also really interesting how everybody got cast in these rolls that match their character personalities. I really loved how parts of this episode were filmed in a different style so that it looked like we were watching the documentary the Jughead was filming. Then the whole side story around this random person threatening to kill Cheryl if she didn't step down from her role as Carrie felt like it was going to be really important but it ended up being a bit of a throwaway moment because it turned out to be someone who was just mad that they didn't get the part. And I hated how they didn't give Cheryl the chance to step down on her own but rather have her mother show up and force her. The moments with Hiram trying to cause friction between Archie and his dad was really great with how they chose to show it with Archie trying to hide his new car from his father and Hiram spilling the beans on the car's existence. Then the ending of this episode was just amazing with everybody not realizing if what was going on on the stage was part of the play or not. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.
