Riverdale Season 3 Episode 1 "Chapter Thirty-Six: Labor Day" Review
As the jury begins deliberations in his murder trial, Archie makes a surprising request; Jughead leads the Serpents against the Ghoulies latest attack.
This was a very interesting episode that did a great job of setting up what is to come for the season and created a great level of mystery. I find it very weird how they talked about how Sabrina wasn't going to crossover with this season but that if hard to believe with how much magic and witchy stuff was going on in this episode. Then everything with Archie was really well done with the looming decision around his court case making him just done with everything and truly feeling that he is set to go to prison and he is trying to say his final goodbyes but no one is really willing to give up on him. And it was really great how he opposed everyone else's views and decided to go to the detention center in order to let the case end and so everything could just be over, but no one else is really willing to give up on proving him innocent. Then Jughead's moments in this episode were really great with him navigating the role of being the new head of the serpents, dealing with the Goolies, and dealing with Cheryl's out of control nature. And I loved how they brought all that to a head when they discover that Hotdog is being held captive by the Goolies and the serpents work to get him back. I am curious now to know if because of Jughead action what the Goolies are going to do to the North side to get their revenge. Then Betty dealing with her family was interesting with Betty dealing with her mother and sister's cult-like nature and them trying to get her to join them but Betty can see through the vale of what is going on. Then I'm curious to know with how this episode ended for Betty if what she saw her mother and sister doing was just a part of her seizure or if they are going to blame it on that. Then just overall this was a really great first episode that makes me really excited to see where this season will go.
