It’s nighttime as an aerial view of the woods outside of Riverdale are shown. The scene shows a clearing in the woods and shows the nemeton as Eddie sits against it as the roots from the tree trunk weirdly wrap around his arms to pin him against the trunk. An older man is shown sitting against the trunk with the roots around him the same way Eddie is. Then laying naked on the tree trunk is the body of Archie Andrews. Eddie suddenly opens his eyes as he breathes heavily
Eddie: fuck...w...what happened?! HELP!!!
the older man is FP Jones. Jughead’s father
FP: shhhh! You’re gonna make the weird fucker come back here
Eddie: where are we?
FP sighs
FP: he calls it the nemeton. I call it the weird supernatural tree trunk of death that is somehow alive
Eddie looks down as the roots around his arms are moving
Eddie: why am I here?
FP: you just got here a few days ago...I’ve been here for weeks. It’s what he does...he either brings you here to sacrifice you to some weird deity bullshit or he ties you up to this thing and the fucking trunk controls your mind
Eddie frowns
Eddie: I...I only remember a little bit
FP: oh yeah he made you sabotage Riverdale. You poisoned the blood of the vampires and the food of the speedsters so none of them could teleport or use their speed. He also made you kill all the guards on top of the wall so the trucks could get through
Eddie leans his head back and his head touches archie’s Foot
Eddie: ahhh! Who’s that?
FP: Archie Andrews....my sons best friend. Smells like he’s been dead for awhile
Eddie frowns
Eddie: Andrews?....the red head?
FP nods
Eddie: he was in Greendale the day we went there
FP: you mean the day you and your kind slaughtered and enslaved those people just to feed your vamps? Yeah I heard about it
Eddie sighs
Eddie: why is he here? Well his body?
FP: I don’t know but....
FP looks towards the darkness as he heard a twig snap
FP: shhhh..
FP looks down and Eddie shakes as the Ouroboros killer walks out wearing his creepy mask.
Eddie: LET ME GO!
FP rolls his eyes
FP: shut up kid!
Eddie looks on in Horror as the killer holds a chain that’s connected to a naked woman as she screams and cries as the killer grabs her and walks her to the edge of the nemeton. She looks down at archie’s Decomposing body and screams then suddenly the killer pulls out a knife and stabs her in the chest multiple times as she screams in pain. FP closes his eyes as Eddie looks back and watches in horror as the killer keeps stabbing her then he starts carving into her chest until he pulls her beating heart out. Her body collapses as he suddenly squeezes her heart and the blood inside of it pours all over Archie and seeps into the cracks on the nemeton. Eddie gasps as the tree trunk begins to shake as a yellow light comes out of its cracks. Suddenly Archie’s eyes open and he sits up as he yells out
FP: Archie! Relax! Please
Archie looks around and screams as the killer grabs him. Archie tries to fight back but the killer is too strong and pushes Archie on the ground next to Eddie
Archie: FP?! What the fuck is happening?!
Archie screams as the roots from the trunk shoot out of the ground and wrap around him. The killer watches all of them as the roots wrap around eddies neck and Eddie starts panicking
FP: the more you fight the more it hurts!
Eddie: STOP!!!!!!!
Eddie screams as sudddnly one of the roots goes right in the back of his head and his eyes blink fast as his entire body shakes. The same happens to Archie as FP just watches. Suddenly their bodies go still and their heads are slumped down as the roots retract back into the ground. FP looks at the killer
FP: why them? Why not me? Why haven’t you done that mind control shit on me?
The Ouroboros killer speaks up in a deep voice
Killer: I have other plans for you
Suddenly Eddie and Archie gasp as their eyes open and they both have a sinister look on their faces
Killer: rise
Eddie and Archie both stand up
Eddie: what is next?
The killer approaches them
Killer: Archie...first thing in the morning I want you to go to the Riverdale Police Department and tell them of the horrible crimes Peter Hale, Evan Martin and those other supernaturals committed against your community in Greendale. Tell them about how Marcel gave the order for them to slaughter your people and enslave the survivors just so marcel could manufacture their blood
Archie nods and the killer then looks at FP then at Eddie
Killer: and you Edward. Find Jughead Jones and bring him to me
FP’s eyes go wide
FP: NOOOOO!!!! DONT TOUCH MY SON!
Killer: no blood sacrifice is more powerful than a father slitting his own son’s throat
FP screams out as Eddie and Archie walk away

Evan’s police cruiser is shown pulling up infront of the high school as there’s still blood all over the front of the school. Danny sits next to him
Evan: you don’t have to keep helping him...you’re not obligated to do it
Danny: but I want to because I care about him. I don’t like seeing anyone get hurt and if I can do something to atleast make their life a tad bit easier. Why not?
Evan nods
Evan: I gotta get to work. I’ll see you later
Evan kisses Danny
Danny: I love you
Evan smiles as Danny gets out
Evan: I love you too
Evan drives off as Danny walks into the school. He slips on some blood as it’s pretty much everywhere. Danny then walks up to an open classroom door as Barry is on his hands and knees scrubbing blood off his classroom floor
Danny: hey
Barry stands up and smiles
Barry: Danny? Hey....here to help me clean all the infected blood out of here
He chuckles and Danny sighs
Danny: I came here to ask you for help
Barry raises an eyebrow
Barry: I’m a teacher but I’m definitely not as smart as you
Danny: I don’t want you to teach me anything. I want you to help me build something
Evan is shown walking inside of the police station as several of the officers stare at him. Tyler walks up to Evan and whispers
Tyler: come with me
Evan looks confused as Tyler leads him into an empty hallway
Evan: what’s going on?
Tyler: remember that shit you guys did when me and the other vamps were dying from there being no blood?
Evan: when we went to Greendale?
Tyler: when you guys slaughtered Greendale
Evan frowns
Evan: hey. They tried to kill us first
Tyler: well there’s a survivor here and he’s throwing all of you guys under the bus and people are listening
Tyler leads Evan to a window that looks into an interrogation room. Evans eyes go wide as he sees Archie talking to some officers as he has a smirk on his face
Tyler: Archie Andrews....18 years old
Evan: alex shot him in the head....Tyler I watched him die
Tyler: well he survived....and he’s here to tell his story
Evan shakes his head
Evan: no one could’ve survived that shot...not even me

Stefan walks up the stairs of the house as he carries baby allison. Stefan knocks on allison’s Door and seconds later alex opens it just in his boxers. He smiles when he sees allison
Stefan: morning
Alex: thanks for bringing her
Stefan walks in and raises an eyebrow as he sees juice sleeping naked in bed
Stefan: moving on quick aren’t we?
Alex puts baby allison in a small crib by the bed and rubs her head as he smiles and hands her a small toy. Alex walks over and looks at juice
Alex: I....I didn’t want to be alone
Stefan: I get that Alex but you just lost Rosita....
Alex looks down
Alex: since when do you even give a fuck ahout my personal life?
Stefan: since Rosita made me promise her that I would look after you. I was the one that saved your daughter’s life, I was the one that had to cut into Rosita because all of those doctors were pussies, I’m the one that had to listen to her last breath. She didn’t want you to go off the deep end, she just wants you to be there for allison
Alex fights back tears
Alex: I know...and I’m doing good. If this was a few years ago I’d be out there killing people out of anger...I’ve been working out to keep my mind off it, trying to get used to only having one arm. Juice helps with talking about it, he listens....Danny helps too
Stefan: do you love him?
Alex looks back at juice and chuckles
Alex: I did a long time ago...we’ve always had a weird connection we’re sometimes were just best friends and like brothers, then we fuck like rabbits then we’re madly in love
Stefan: not juice, I meant Danny
Alex thinks
Alex: he loves Evan....a lot. All I’m going to say is if Danny was never with Evan then I would’ve put a ring on his finger ages ago
Stefan: it’s not healthy...and it’s not fair to you or to Danny and definitely not to Evan
Alex: what do you know about relationships? You’ve been up ella’s Ass since they day we ran into your vampire ass in Mystic Falls
Alex sighs
Alex: I don’t like being alone....when I’m with juice it feels like nothing else in the world matters. When I’m with Danny it feels like everything matters but he gives me the power to deal with those things
Stefan: just focus on allison...ok?
Alex nods and Stefan hugs him
Stefan: there’s formula in the fridge downstairs
Stefan walks out as Alex walks over and looks down at allison as she’s sleeping. Suddenly juice yawns as he wakes up and sees allison as he smiles
Juice: aw she’s so cute
Alex lays on the bed as juice looks confused
Juice: ah my head hurts
Alex: we drank a lot last night?
Juice scratches his head
Juice: did we?...did we fuck?
Alex chuckles
Alex: yeah we fucked....we fucked a lot
Juice looks down
Juice: I’m sorry
Alex rubs the side of juices face
Alex: don’t be....I enjoyed it
He leans in and kisses juice
Stiles is shown sniffling as he sits on the back porch and holds a picture of him, Eddie, Scott and Gabriel in a photo booth from the mall they took shelter at months ago. Suddenly Marcel walks outside with Jughead
Marcel: stiles
Stiles: leave me alone
Marcel: do you wanna go find your boyfriend?
Stiles looks back and raises his eyebrow as he stands up. Jughead looks super nervous because just like with Derek, Jughead idolized Stiles Stilinski for so many years and has always wanted to meet him
Stiles: who the hell is this?
Jughead looks nervous as he waves
Jughead: I’m Jughead....Jughead Jones
Marcel: his father FP is out there missing too....I have a feeling if we find Eddie we might be able to find FP
Jughead: but you would think the killer would’ve killed him by now?
Stiles: unless he’s saving your dad for the grand finale
Jughead gulps then suddenly Tyler appears out of thin air and Jughead Jumps back
Jughead: SHIT!
Marcel: what is it?
Tyler breathes heavily
Tyler: remember Greendale? The place you sent Evan and the others to get blood for us
Marcel: and they killed everyone
Stiles: I was there....peter was the trigger happy one
Tyler: a survivor came forward....he’s blaming you Marcel. Saying you gave the orders and he’s telling everyone in the station, the news is spreading like wild fire
Marcel rolls his eyes
Marcel: what’s his name?
Jughead looks at Tyler as Tyler looks at marcel
Tyler: Andrews.......Archie Andrews
Jughead’s eyes go wide and his mouth nearly falls open

Andrew is shown standing on a sidewalk in downtown Riverdale as he smokes a cigarette. He looks sad, scared and traumatized as he sees piles of infected bodies still lying in the street
?: Marcel definitely isn’t winning the most sanitary city award
Andrew jumps back as peter is standing next to him
Andrew: shit! Creepy much?!
He squints his eyes
Andrew: you’re him....you’re...Peter Hale
Peter rolls his eyes
Peter: why does everyone say my name like that?
Andrew: because you’re a real life boogeyman. Is it true that you’ve murdered over a thousand people?
Peter ignores his question
Peter: you were there the night of the attack. You were on the street fighting
Andrew nods
Andrew: with the blonde vampire and the other hellhound. I lost both of my parents that night
Peter rubs his shoulder
Peter: I truly am sorry...you must be so full of anger and just trying to process all of it. You lost your entire family, you still fought for this city and what has marcel Gerard done for you? Has he said sorry?
Andrew shakes his head
Andrew: never met him
Peter: what happened was his fault?
Andrew raises an eyebrow
Andrew: what the hell do you want?
Peter: I want to make you an offer
Andrew: yes
Peter frowns and looks confused
Peter: I’m sorry what?
Andrew rolls his eyes
Andrew: I know you want a bigger pack and I know you’re about to offer me the bite. I’ve got nothing else to lose
Peter: the bite ca....
Andrew: I know...I know it can kill me. Like I said I’ve got nothing else t-
Suddenly peter growls as he grabs Andrew and chomps down on his arm making him let out a painful scream
Peter Pan, Travis and Nolan are shown hanging around peters loft as Nolan sits on the ground and whispers something as different items around him levitate. Peter Pan rolls his eyes
Peter: you’ve been doing the same fucking spell since last night
Nolan opens his eyes and frowns at peter then launches a vase at him. Peter screams as the vase launches right past his head and Travis laughs. Suddenly there’s a loud knock on the door and they all look concerned
Peter Pan: go get it Nolan
Nolan rolls his eyes at peter but Travis stands up and walks up to the door. He slides it open and looks surprised to see Derek and Isaac walk in
Travis: uhh....hey Derek. Hey Isaac
Derek smirks as he looks around
Derek: hey Travis....Nolan.....peter. Where’s my uncle?
Travis: I woke up and he wasn’t here
Isaac: well then I’ll have a margarita and Derek will take a beer
Isaac smiles sarcastically as he and Derek sit on the couch. Suddenly Nolan speaks up
Nolan: he’s not that bad you know...
Travis: Nolan shut up
Nolan ignores Travis and looks at Derek
Nolan: he feeds me, looks after me, helps me with my powers, teaches me about the history of my kind.
Isaac: bet he fucks you too am I right?
Travis speaks up
Travis: does Derek not do the same with his entire pack? Not even his pack I lost count of how many times Derek has fucked me
Isaac gives Travis a look and Derek sighs
Derek: no one says anything until my uncle gets here
Veronica is shown sitting on her bed as she looks at a picture of herself and Jughead. Suddenly her dad walks into the room and she puts the picture down
Veronica: hey Dad
Hiram: what’s wrong? Did that boy do something to you?
She gives him a look
Veronica: besides save my life...nothing
Hiram: we need to go down to the police station
Veronica frowns
Veronica: why?
Hiram: because your old friend. Archie Andrews, is still alive
Veronica’s eyes go wide
Evan and Tyler are still standing behind the interrogation room windows as they listen to Archie talk to the detective
Detective: and what about Sheriff Martin’s role in all of this?
Tyler looks at Evan
Tyler: you guys did what you had to do to save your family
Evan: do I just let him keep rambling on and on? People already hate us...if this gets out...
Tyler: I would say don’t do anything. If Chris was here he would say walk in there and shut that ginger bitch up
Evan nods then walks into the interrogation room
Detective: Sheriff Martin this is a closed interview!
Evan looks at Archie as Archie smirks at him
Evan: you little shit! Your people shot first and tried to kill us...we only defended ourselves
Archie puts his feet up on the desk.
Archie: so you mean to tell me you all marched 12 miles up the road loaded with weapons just to talk to us. Detective, Marcel placed the orders for them to invade Greendale and capture any survivors and use them as blood meals for the vampires. And that’s exactly what they did
Detective: is this true Sheriff?
Suddenly marcel appears out of nowhere and snaps the detective’s neck. His body collapses but jack catches it then drags him out as Archie frowns as marcel looks at him
Marcel: this is my city....I make the laws. I do what I want
Suddenly Stiles and Jughead walk into the room as Jughead sees Archie and his eyes go wide
Jughead: Archie?
Archie fakes a smile
Archie: hey Jug
Jughead rubs over and they embrace themselves in a warm hug as Jughead fights back tears
Archie: I’m here...I’m here
Jughead notices something as Archie is wearing a tank top. He sees the strange Lichtenberg Figures marks going across archie’s Shoulders and leading up to his neck
Jughead: Archie...
Jughead backs away a bit
Jughead: where did you, me, Veronica, and Betty love to go every Friday night?
Archie looks around the room
Archie: uh the movies
Jughead shakes his head
Jughead: Pop’s Diner...
Archie shrugs
Archie: it’s been what? A year...almost two since all of that.
Jughead looks at marcel as he backs away
Jughead: he’s possessed like the others.
Archie: no....no I’m not...no....NO NO NO NO!!!!!
He yells super loud as he looks furious and his face is red
Archie: I’ll kill him Jughead...I’ll kill your father just like I killed all the sons and daughters of Riverdale
Jughead frowns then marcel goes to grab Archie but Archie kicks him in the balls then goes to run out but Evan grabs him. Archie pulls back but Evan growls as his hands get super hot and burn archie’s Arm. Archie falls onto the ground yelling in pain as his arm sizzles then suddenly the evil glare on his face goes away. Archie blinks several times as he sits up.
Archie: Jughead?!?!
Archie gets up and hugs Jughead tightly
Archie: where am I?
Evan looks at his hands as Tyler looks at him
Evan: it’s the heat...it stops the possession
Tyler: juice said when the truck crashed that it lit on fire and the steering wheel got hot. Fire is how you stop it
Jughead keeps holding onto Archie as stiles looks at Jughead
Stiles: how’d you know he was possessed?
Jughead: he had the Lichtenberg Figures going across his shoulder and now they’re gone...I read about what happened with you and the Nogitsune...I know it was kinda the same thing
Stiles nods and half smiles at Jughead
Suddenly Veronica and Hiram Lodge walk into the room.
Veronica: Archie?!
Jughead moves out the way as she jumps into his arms and they hold onto each other. Jughead awkwardly stands to the side then looks at Hiram. Hiram stares at Jughead then looks over and chuckles as marcel is glaring at him

Gabriel is shown standing behind the house. He’s infront of Scott’s grave as next to Scott is Rosita then Chris Argent. Suddenly Aiden walks out to him and looks at Gabriel
Aiden: what happens after we die?
Gabriel looks at Aiden
Gabriel: I’m not 100% sure um....
He fights back tears
Gabriel: god exists but heaven isn’t a place everyone goes...it’s just full of angels
Aiden: like you...why aren’t you there?
Gabriel: because I didn’t share their mentality....they gave up on humanity but I didn’t. What happened to Scott wasn’t man’s fault...it just happens and it can happen to any of us
Aiden: man created the T Virus...
Gabriel: don’t let one rotten apple ruin the whole bunch
Gabriel sighs as he rubs the headstone
Aiden: so what now?
Gabriel frowns
Gabriel: what do you mean?
Aiden: Scott was like your whole world...you guys did everything together and now...
Gabriel looks down
Gabriel: I don’t know...honestly I think that’s why we keep fighting so we don’t have to dwell on the depressing shit. Killing stops us from thinking
Gabriel walks away with Aiden
Derek sits on peters couch as he sips his beer and rubs isaac’s Leg. Suddenly the door to the loft slides open as Peter walks in with Andrew. Travis stands up and looks surprised to see Andrew
Peter: ah my favorite nephew
Derek: cut the bullshit peter
Isaac sniffs the air as he looks at Andrew
Isaac: funny this kid was a human yesterday
Travis rolls his eyes
Travis: peter did you turn him
Peter: let me introduce you all to the newest member of my pack. Andrew Santos
Andrew smirks as he looks at all of them. Derek then stands up and gets in peter’s Face
Derek: if it weren’t for Marcel...we would all be dead. We would’ve either starved to death out there in the wilderness or been eaten alive
Peter: oh give me a break. With or without his permission we would’ve taken this place from him
Derek growls
Derek: Jughead told me all about your plans. That you wanna build a strong pack and overthrow marcel and if myself or any of my betas get in the way then you’ll kill us too
Derek glares into his uncle’s eyes
Derek: I wanna see you do it
Isaac walks over to them
Isaac: what Derek means is....an attack on Marcel is an attack on us
Peter chuckles
Peter: have I done anything?
Derek: not yet but I can see the wheels turning behind your eyes...you’re plotting like your snake self always does. Like I said....if you go for Marcel I’ll kill you myself and if ANY of your betas join your little mutiny. I’ll rip their fucking hearts out
He looks at everyone then walks out with Isaac as peter chuckles and rubs Andrews back
Peter: make yourself comfortable
Travis rolls his eyes then walks up to peter
Travis: congrats....now Derek hates all of us
Peter: he hates any thought of me being successful
Travis scoffs
Travis: and what’s up with this?
He looks back at Andrew
Peter: like I said...we need to expand our ranks. Don’t let Derek scare you...he’s all talk
Travis: I’ve seen him squeeze a man’s head so bad his eyes popped out. I’m terrified of Derek especially if he sees me as an enemy
Peter: you should be more terrified of me
Peter walks away as Travis frowns

Veronica finally stops hugging Archie as Hiram looks at him
Hiram: good to have you back Archie...now what was this you were saying about our very own sheriff being responsible for the massacre at Greendale?
Hiram looks at Evan as Evan frowns then Archie speaks up as he looks at Jughead
Archie: it...it was a misunderstanding. The deaths at Greendale were caused by men in masks...it wasn’t them
Hiram glares at Archie then Veronica looks at Jughead
Veronica: Jughead Can I talk to you? In private
Jughead nods as he follows her out the room and Hiram just looks around the room as everyone is quiet
Stiles: this is awkward
Jughead looks around the police station as he leans against a wall and Veronica looks at him
Veronica: what is happening?
Jughead: I know Archie being back is a blessing
Veronica: it is but I meant with us...that night at my house was...it was magical it was everything I ever imagined it to be then...you walked out and I haven’t seen you since
Jughead: thinks are just complicated now with Archie, with me, with my dad, with your dad
Veronica frowns and crosses her arms
Veronica: what about my dad?
Jughead: it’s...
He sighs and hits the back of his head against the wall as a way to punish himself for letting his theory slip out
Jughead: I could be wrong but that night I stayed at your house. I left in the morning before you woke up....I went into his room and he walked in
Veronica: why were you in his room?!
Jughead: that doesn’t matter!
He looks around then whispers
Jughead: I hid under his bed and I saw his leg. He had an Ouroboros tattoo on his leg
Veronica frowns as she tries to think of a way to defend her father
Veronica: it....it could mean anything. That symbol has been around long before this killer and long before Riverdale. My dad isn’t the killer
Jughead: probably not but he’s gotta he involved somehow...that tattoo was fresh Veronica
Veronica: I was almost killed because of the attack the Ouroboros killer hit Riverdale with. My father is a lot of things...he may be a crooked and corrupt thug but he’s not a mass murderer
Jughead: did you know that he’s a hunter?
Veronica rolls her eyes
Veronica: he used to hunt deer and bears for sport
Jughead: no I mean like a supernatural hunter...like on the Argent level
Veronica: bullshit
Jughead: Peter Hale told me
Veronica: and you believe what that creep told you?
Jughead: Vero-
Veronica: SAVE IT! We should be celebrating Archie being okay but instead you’re trying to slander my father’s name. My father cares about this city and cares about me...he’s not the killer
She storms away pissed off and walks back into the interview room
Veronica: let’s go daddy
Hiram smirks at marcel then walks out with Veronica as Hiram sees Jughead and just stares at him as they leave the station. Jughead walks back into the interview room
Archie: what’d you say to her?
Jughead: that her dad could be the killer
Marcel shakes his head
Marcel: Hiram is a lot worse...but he’s not smart enough to be this killer.
Evan looks at Archie
Evan: the killer possessed you...do you remember anything? Did you see anything?
Archie sighs
Archie: last thing I saw was your friend Alex Argent putting a gun to my face and pulling the trigger
Jughead: Archie focus....there’s gotta he something you remember
Archie shuts his eyes then gasps as he has a sudden flashback of the roots going into the back of his head
Archie: there....there was a tree. It was just the trunk
Stiles frowns as he gets off from leaning on the wall and looks at Evan then at Archie
Stiles: was this tree trunk big?
Archie nods
Archie: it was enormous
Stiles gulps as he looks terrified and triggered all at the same time
Stiles: Nemeton

Ian is shown walking past alex’s Room as the door is open. He raises his eyebrow as he sees juice completely naked as he lays on his stomach and Ian can see how big his butt is. Ian then keeps going and ends up downstairs as Alex stands in the kitchen carrying allison with his one good arm and Ella and Stefan cuddle on the couch.
Ian: since when did Juice have a nice ass?
Alex: since always
Ian: he still doesn’t measure up to Danny
He gives alex a look and alex rolls his eyes
Alex: I hate you
Suddenly Derek and Isaac walk in as Derek looks annoyed. First thing he doesn’t is go into the kitchen and grabs a beer from the fridge
Alex: how’d it go with peter?
Isaac chuckles and sits next to Isaac at the table as Derek leans against the counter
Derek: he denied everything. He denied ever telling Jughead that his plan is to overthrow Marcel and kill him Meanwhile he brings in that Andrew kid
Ian: Andrew Santos?
Derek nods
Derek: Peter turned him
Isaac: it’s obvious he wants to build his pack
Ian rolls his eyes
Ian: Travis loves Peter but he wouldn’t do something that he knows would piss you off Derek. The other Peter is just a follower and Nolan, I’m convinced Nolan is just really high all the time
Isaac laughs
Alex: just kill peter and get it over with
Ian frowns and Derek sighs
Derek: I would kill him if jack and Ian here didn’t like him so much
Ian growls
Ian: not my fault the man practically raised me
Isaac: not to mention when if you did kill him he would find a way to come back like he did the 9 other times
Derek: it’s at 10 now. What about you alex...how’s the arm?
Alex: still burns a bit...but I’m getting used to it. Its getting used to everything else that sucks
He sighs
Alex: I go in my bedroom and it still smells like Rosita, I go in the basement and see all of my dad’s guns and they remind me of him, I look at juice and he reminds me of the hunting camp we were in and that reminds me of Daryl. I look at allison here and I think about my sister
He looks down
Alex: I can’t escape it
Derek walks over and kisses Alex on the cheek and looks into his eyes
Derek: you still for us alex. I’m here for you, always
Alex fights back tears and smiles as he nods then suddenly Wally appears out of nowhere
Wally: Alex!
Alex: what?
Wally: danny....he said he needs you at the school
Alex frowns
Alex: what the hell is he doing at the school?
Wally shrugs and alex sighs as he hands allison over to Isaac as Isaac smiles
Alex: if I’m not back in 30 minutes please feed her
Isaac nods
Alex: this better be important
He walks out as Ian looks at Wally
Ian: is Danny okay?
Wally smiles
Wally: yeah he’s just got a present for Alex
Marcel, Jack, Evan, Stiles, Jughead and Archie are shown standing infront of the huge wall that surrounds Riverdale. Marcel glances down the wall and can see the huge holes from where the trucks drove in as there’s men working quickly to cover them. Marcel whistles and the gate opens as they walk out
Evan: we got about 2 hours of sunlight left
Marcel: I say we go into the woods hopefully Archie here sees something that helps kickstart his memory
They wander into the woods and Jughead notices stiles pull out a knife
Stiles: what? Did you forget these woods are still crawling with infected?
Jughead: they don’t scare me anymore
Stiles looks at Jughead then glances over at Archie as everyone walks ahead of them
Stiles: how long have you two been friends?
Jughead chuckles
Jughead: since we were both 5....we’re Riverdale alumni I guess you can say
Stiles: but I don’t get it. When the rest of the pack and I first got to Riverdale...none of you were here the whole town was filled with vampires
Jughead: that’s because of the war...the war between Marcel and the witches. The war started before the T Virus was even a thing. Most of us didn’t even know that witches and vampires were a thing then the war happened. There was a max exodus...80% of the town left and we went to Greendale while marcel waged his war. When we heard about the witches being gone and marcel being in charge and you guys being here...most of us returned
Stiles: what’s up with that Hiram guy?
Jughead sighs
Jughead: he’s dangerous. My dad used to work for him...before Marcel’s war Hiram Lodge was pretty much the big bad boss of Riverdale. He ran all kinds of illegal underground operations throughout the city...guns, drugs, prostitution, all kinds of shit. My dad was close to Hiram practically his right hand man. That is until Hiram ordered his men to firebomb a bar that was frequented by marcel and his group of vampires. My dad found out about hiram’s Plan and backed out at the last minute. It was too late for my dad to warn marcel so the bombing happened and the witches took the blame for it. That entire war was Hiram’s fault
Stiles frowns
Stiles: and marcel hasn’t killed him yet?!
Jughead: SHHH!...
Jughead whispers
Jughead: he doesn’t know...only people that know are myself and my dad
Stiles: and now me
He rolls his eyes
Stiles: great now I’m involved
Jughead: it’s not my place to say anything it’s my father’s. All I’m saying is that I wouldn’t be shocked if Hiram Lodge was behind all of this, if he was the killer just to make Riverdale weak, to make marcel look weak
Suddenly a loud shriek is heard an infected man jumps out. It knocks jughead down and tries to bite him. Stiles grabs it by the neck then jams his knife right into its skull. He smirks as he extends his hand. Jughead grabs it and stiles pulls him off
Jughead: thanks
Stiles: anytime
Jack looks at Archie as Archie stops walking and shuts his eyes
Evan: what is it?
Archie: there was a guy...maybe a little older than me...he was pale
Stiles walks over and looks at Archie
Stiles: black hair? Muscular pale as paper?
Archie nods
Archie: the roots were alive and they were holding him down
Stiles sighs
Stiles: it’s eddie it’s gotta be. Come on you gotta remember something! REMEMBER DAMMIT!
Evan grabs stiles as he yells at Archie and Archie backs away
Archie: I....I cant...I...I’m sorry
Stiles sighs as Evan looks at him
Evan: it’s not his fault
Suddenly a twig is heard snapping and everyone looks as Eddie walks out with an evil smirk on his face
Eddie: aw stiles are you gonna cry?
Stiles’ eyes go wide as he sees Eddie staring at them as he just wears some black shorts and has blood on his hands
Stiles: you’re not Eddie
Eddie chuckles then looks at Jughead
Eddie: ah there you are. See....Archie was supposed to capture you and bring you to me. So we could force your father to kill you
Jughead: WHERE THE HELL IS MY DAD?!?!
Eddie laughs
Eddie: he’s close to death but not as close as all of you are
Evan nods at marcel and marcel’s Eyes glow red as he teleports and appears behind Eddie and grabs him. Eddie roars as he elbows marcel in the chest then out of nowhere Eddie grabs marcel by his head and snaps his neck. Jack’s eyes go wide as marcel collapses to the ground and Eddie chuckles
Jack: NOOOO!!!!!
Jack breathes heavily as he sees Marcel lying there motionless. Jack’s eyes glow green as he leaps into the air and punches Eddie hard across the face. Eddie spins and slashes him across the chest. That’s when jack grabs Eddie and throws him so hard against a big tree the tree falls over. Eddie coughs as he gets up and sees Evan walking towards him as his hands are red hot. He looks at Archie then at evan’s hands
Eddie: you sons of bitches figured it out
He then looks at Jughead then out of nowhere Eddie whispers something and multiple roots shoot out of the ground and wrap around Evan’s legs as Evan roars. The roots wrap around his entire body and knock him down and pin him to the ground. The same happens to stiles, Jack, and Archie. Stiles tosses his knife to Jughead. Jughead catches it right as Eddie walks up to him. Jughead stabs Eddie in the chest and Eddie just chuckles and pulls the knife out then he headbutts Jughead so hard it knocks him out. Eddie catches his body and hoists him over his shoulder as he walks away
Archie: NO! Jughead!
Jack breathes heavily and sniffles as the roots wrap around his face and he can see marcel laying still on the ground just feet from him. Stiles and Archie kick and squirm but the roots get tighter and tighter. Evan roars as he keeps igniting his body in flames to burn the roots but everytime he does more shoot out the ground and wrap around him. Jack gasps as the roots cover his eyes and wrap around most of his face. Suddenly loud roars are heard coming from different directions. Jack just sees someone ripping the roots off his face then he sees Peter Hale standing over him as he claws at the roots and they shriek back down into the ground. Peter pulls jack up as jack looks around and sees Travis, Peter Pan, and Andrew all helping the others as Nolan kneels down next to marcel. Jack rushes over and grabs marcel’s Hand
Nolan: he’s still got a pulse
Peter Hale rolls his eyes and Evan walks over to jack
Evan: get him back to the hospital jack ASAP!
Peter Hale looks at Peter Pan and Nolan
Peter: go with him
They nod and help jack lift Marcel up as they run off into the darkness. Stiles looks at peter Hale
Stiles: why are you helping? First off you sit at home and drink like a sailor and fuck like a machine and secondly, you hate marcel
Peter: I came because my son was here
Archie: guys! We gotta get to Jughead!
F.P Jones is shown pinned to the nemeton by the roots as Eddie emerges out of the darkness with Jughead on his shoulder. FP’s eyes go wide
FP: no!!!!!! Did you fucking hurt him I’ll fucking kill you!
Eddie lays an unconscious Jughead down on the nemeton as FP keeps yelling. Moments later the Ouroboros killer appears and stares down at Jughead
Killer: the time....has come. The sins of the father become the sins of the son. If balance is to be achieved then this sacrifice is the most necessary one
The Ouroboros killer waves his hand and the roots around FP sink back into the ground. Eddie walks over to grab him, FP punches Eddie hard in the face then goes to lay another punch but Eddie grabs his hand and roars in his face then spins him around and forces him to the tree trunk. The killer walks over and forcefully places a large dagger in FP’s hand
FP: NO!!!!! GODDAMIT!!!!!
Jughead blinks a few times and looks up as he just sees his father standing over him and holding a knife
Jughead: dad?
FP screams as Eddie grabs his hand and is about to force him to kill Jughead then suddenly Archie appears out of nowhere as he tackles Eddie to the ground. The killer puts his hands up and roots shoot out of the ground and pull Archie off of Eddie. Then out of nowhere loud roars are heard as Peter Hale and Evan both emerge out of the forest covered in flames. The killer looks around then suddenly drops something on the ground that explodes and the killer disappears in a cloud of black smoke. Evan frowns as the killer is gone then FP stands up and screams NO!
Everyone looks as Eddie is standing up and has his claws up to jughead’s Throat
Eddie: risk all of your lives for this you and his father you barely know? You’re all pathetic
Peter Hale looks at Andrew as he growls loudly
Peter: stand down
Jughead looks at FP
Jughead: Dad...he’s gonna take me....and you can’t try to find me. It’s only gonna get you killed it’s only gonna get more people killed
FP tears up as Eddie chuckles
Eddie: if anyone follows us. The soil of Riverdale will run red with the blood of this human
Jughead chuckles
Jughead: I may be a weak human but humans are good at one thing
Eddie frowns
Jughead: planning ahead!
Suddenly Jughead pulls a screwdriver out of his pocket and stabs Eddie in the leg with it. Eddie yells and Jughead falls to the ground as stiles walks out the woods and closes his eyes as he shoots Eddie right in the chest. Eddie falls to the ground and roars in pain as a purple mist rises out of the gunshot wound
Eddie: Wolfsbane?! YOU SON A BITCH!
Stiles: Evan now!
Evan runs over and grabs eddie’s leg as his hands get red hot and his skin sizzles as Eddie screams out in pain then he passes out. Everyone gets quiet and gather around him, stiles kneels down next to him then everyone jumps back as Eddie gasps and opens his eyes.
Stiles: Eddie?
Eddie cries out as he nods
Eddie: stiles...
Eddie rubs stiles’ face as he sobs
Eddie: it hurts...baby it hurts so bad
Stiles looks down at eddie’s wound
Stiles: I’m sorry...it’s the only thing that could slow you down...
Peter Hale walks over and picks Eddie up as he moans in pain
Peter: let’s get back to my place. I’ll burn the wolfsbane out of him.
Jughead runs over to FP and they embrace in a warm hug as FP cries
FP: you saved me son
Jughead: they saved us
Archie walks over and hugs FP as well
Travis stares at the nemeton as Andrew stands next to him
Andrew: I can feel the power radiating off of that thing. Is that normal?
Travis: I heard stories about these...legend has it there’s only 5 in the entire world. Sacrifice someone on it and you get stronger...more powerful...darker
Andrew sighs then looks back at everyone leaving
Andrew: come on. Let’s go
Travis stares at the nemeton then finally follows the others as ominous music plays
Alex is shown walking into the high school as he looks around confused
Alex: Danny?
Alex keeps walking
Alex: Danny! You know I don’t like surprises
Suddenly Jackson walks out of a classroom
Jackson: hey!
Alex grabs him by the throat and slams him into a wall
Alex: I SAID I DONT LIKE BEING SURPRISED!
He lets go of Jackson as Jackson gasps for air and bunches over as he coughs
Alex: where’s Danny?
Jackson points at the classroom he walked out of and Alex walks in. Alex looks confused as he sees Barry and Danny with their backs to him as it sounds like they’re hammering something
Alex: uh...hi
Barry turns around
Barry: oh...you got here faster than I thought
Alex: what’s going on?
Danny turns around as he carries something big that’s under a black sheet
Alex: I said I don’t like surprises
Danny chuckles as he walks towards him
Danny: you’ve been through a lot...if I can make your life easier then why not?
Alex pulls off the sheet and his eyes go wide as it’s a giant metal arm
Barry walks over
Barry: Danny’s idea I was just a helper.
Danny: it’s lightweight, incredibly strong, flexible, easy for you to throw around but will definitely shatter a jaw if you throw a punch, also it’s not cold...I uh...I summoned my Oni. And I took their swords
Barry: we melted down their swords then molded them into the arm
Alex looks at the arm
Alex: you....you used the swords of your Oni to make me a bionic arm?
Danny: I took their masks too
Danny hands the arm to Barry as he walks over and looks at alex’s Nub.
Danny: it’ll feel weird at first but I promise it’ll go away
Danny and Barry both slide the shiny metal arm over alex’s Nub. Danny twists the top part of it onto his nub as alex’s Eyes are wide.
Alex stares at the arm and Danny smiles
Danny: wiggle the fingers
A quiet mechanical whirring sound is heard as Alex moves the fingers quickly
Alex: how is this possible?
Barry: I installed a software into the arm...it syncs with your brain waves. You think about the movement you want to make and the arm does it.
Danny: put your arm above your head
Alex lifts the arm above his head as Danny smiles. Barry smiles
Barry: I’m gonna um...go see if Jackson is okay
Barry walks out as Alex looks at the arm
Danny: I’m glad you like it
Alex: like it? I love it. Danny this is the nicest thing anyone has done for me ever. You saved my life and you sacrificed your Oni to do so
Danny: don’t worry about it
He smiles and alex looks at him
Alex: why?
Danny sighs as he sits back against the teachers desk and closes his eyes as Alex walks up and looks at him
Alex: is it because you love me?
Danny opens his eyes as tears fall down his face
Danny: I shouldn’t feel this way...you just lost Rosita, I’ve been with Evan for over 3 years...I love him...I adore him...he treats my right and everytime I focus on him and try to forget you...you pop back up in my head. From the moment I wake up until before I go to sleep you’re what I think about
Alex rubs the side of Danny’s face
Alex: hey...we don’t have to make any promises...or do anything drastic. Evan is one of my best friends but you gotta do what makes you happy
Danny: alex I don’t know what to do
He sniffles
Alex: if you choose to be with Evan...that’s fine no hard feelings about it. But if you decide to end things with him I’ll be here. Like you said I just lost Rosita, I have to learn how to be a single father, I have Juice already showing signs that he wants to get back together with me. My heart is reserved now just to my daughter but I’ll open it up for you and only you. You’ve always had my back, you’ve always cared about me and you’re the only person I can be 100% myself around. Like I said don’t stress...just for once let’s let things happen naturally and see where it leads us. Ok?
Danny nods and Alex kisses his forehead
Alex: let’s go home
Marcel is shown laying on a hospital bed as he opens his eyes and sees Jack standing over him.
Jack: hey babe
Marcel looks confused as he looks around
marcel: what the fuck happened?
Jack: we saved Jughead and his dad. Eddie is okay, I think and before all that he snapped your neck and it knocked you out
Marcel sighs
Marcel: I’m supposed to be the leader and I’m the first man to fall. Let me guess peter showed up?
Jack chuckles
Jack: of course he did.
Marcel: and now I look even weaker
Jack holds his hand
Jack: no one is saying your weak except for you. It happens to all of us, even to Derek. Just be glad you’re still breathing there’s a lot of people that aren’t
Jack goes to walk out but marcel pulls him in as marcel sits up and passionately kisses jack
Peters loft is shown as loud screaming comes from inside of it.
Eddie lays on the kitchen table screaming as he’s shirtless and peter Hale holds a blowtorch up to the bullet wound. Stiles stands there holding eddies hand as he looks away. Andrew, Nolan, travis and Peter Pan all sit on the couch looking bothered by the screaming. Suddenly Derek and Isaac walk in into the loft
Peter Hale: ever heard of knocking?
Derek: Eddie!
Derek runs over and looks down at Eddie as Eddie cries and rubs Derek’s face
Eddie: I’m so sorry
Peter rubs some kind of plant into the wound as Eddie screams again then the wound slowly heals.
Derek: don’t be sorry...it wasn’t your fault
Stiles leans down and kisses him. Eddie sniffles and wraps his arms around stiles. Isaac looks at Peter Hale
Isaac: thanks for saving them
Peter: I went to save Jack. The others got in my way
Isaac rolls his eyes
Derek: did you see the killer?
Stiles nods
Stiles: it was a man in a mask
Peter Hale sighs
Peter: he was in tune with nature...he was controlling the roots of the nemeton. Bringing them to life and using them as a weapon. Pretty sure he’s in sync with the telluric currents he disappeared in thin air
Isaac: so he’s a Druid?
Peter shakes his head
Peter: a Darach
Derek: like Jennifer
Eddie coughs as he sits up and looks at Derek
Eddie: I do remember how he knew a lot about us...something stuck with me. He....he knew that you weren’t the one that turned me. He knew that Jackson was the one that bit me what? Like 5 years ago....Derek, there’s people in this pack that don’t even know that
Derek frowns as he looks at Peter Hale
Peter: what? It’s obviously not fucking me
Derek: SHUT UP IM THINKING
Peter rolls his eyes then stiles stands up as everyone looks at him
Stiles: I...oh my god....I know who the killer is
F.P is shown laying on the couch in his house as there’s empty beer cans everywhere and he sleeps. The scene goes upstairs and into jughead’s Room as Jughead lays in bed staring at the ceiling as Archie plays a game on Jughead’s laptop
Archie: it’s awesome that your dad is letting me stay here
Jughead: you’re family, you can stay here for as long as you want
Archie smiles
Archie: so Veronica isn’t just mad at you because you think her dad is the killer Is she?
Jughead sighs and shakes his head
Jughead: during the attack on Riverdale I saved her life, we went back to her house and there was a lot of drinking involved
Archie laughs as he spins around in the chair
Archie: oh my god you fucked her didn’t you?!
Jughead: you’re not mad are you?
Archie smiles
Archie: I know it’s weird since I used to date her but...times are changing dude and so are people
He closes the laptop then stands up as he’s wearing a tight pair of boxers and he pulls his shirt off. Jughead glances over and stares at how muscular and toned archie’s Body is. Archie turns around to put his shirt in the closet and Jughead can’t help but stare at the shape of his perfectly round butt in his boxers. Archie turns off the light as he climbs into bed with Jughead and stares at the ceiling also
Jughead: archie...
Archie: yeah Juggy?
Jughead: I had sex with Derek Hale yesterday
Archie raises an eyebrow and chuckles
Archie: funny
Jughead: I’m serious
Archie looks at him
Archie: Jughead are you gay? Because I vividly remember you always having a huge stage of porn. Like porn with tits and ass and pussy
Jughead reaches under the mattress and tosses a magazine with naked guys on it at Archie. Archie looks at it
Archie: whoa look at his dick
Jughead frowns
Jughead: I kind of always had these feelings and urges but they got stronger when I met the Hale pack
Archie: duh it’s because they’re all gay and really hot. Especially that Sheriff
Jughead sits up and frowns
Jughead: wait Archie....are you gay?
Archie laughs
Archie: Jason Blossom and I had a thing going on in Greendale. Don’t listen to ignorant people, there’s nothing wrong with it. Don’t fight it, just ride it
Jughead laughs
Jughead: Veronica is gonna flip if she finds out
Archie shrugs
Archie: she’ll be fine. I’ll make breakfast in the morning Juggy...goodnight
Jughead: night Archie
Jughead turns on his side and shuts his eyes as Archie faces the opposite direction and faces the wall
Archie: Juggy?
Jughead: yeah Archie?
Archie raises his eyebrow
Archie: would you ever fuck me?
Jughead bites his lip trying to hide that the question instantly made him hard
Jughead: go to bed Archie
Archie chuckles and they lay in silence for awhile until Archie turns back and cuddles up to Jughead wrapping his arms around him. Jughead hesitates at first but then relaxes and smiles as they both fall asleep
Alex is shown sitting in his bed staring at his new metal arm. He looks back at juice who’s sleeping then stares at his arm. He rubs the metal as he smiles
Evan is shown sitting in the bathtub as he closes his eyes then suddenly Danny walks in and kneels next to the tub. Rubbing evan’s Arm and eventually holding his hand
Evan: Eddie is ok. So is Jughead and we found his dad
Danny: that’s good. I made Alex an arm
Evan looks surprised
Evan: damn that’s great. Bet he’s happy
Danny nods
Danny: he deserves to be
Evan: so do we
He looks at Danny as Danny sighs
Evan: I can smell your emotions when you talk about him. I know you love me and I love you more than life itself but you have a connection with him that’s hard to break I get that, that was the situation with Derek and I for awhile. If you wanna be with Alex...it would break my heart. I can’t say I won’t be pissed but I’ll move on, it’s what we do
Danny’s eyes fill with tears
Evan: and I know we’re not close like we used to be and I’m never home or never with you and for that I’m sorry. I...
A tear slides down Evans face
Evan: but if you’ve fallen out of love for me and you truly love him. I can’t stand in the way of that, I won’t. You’re confused...you’re lost but I’m not.
Danny frowns
Evan: Danny I’m breaking up with you
Danny just sniffles as Evan rubs the side of his face
Evan: maybe in like 5 or 10 years we can revisit this but for now. It’s unhealthy...were in this new city with so many new things that can happen. Let’s do crazy things, meet new friends, date new people and like I said...
He stands up
Evan: if that doesn’t work out. Then we press play on what we once had and do it again. I’ll always be here for you no matter what...but you’ve got things you need to work on and so do I. This relationship isn’t fair to either of us
Evan gets out the tub and walks away as Danny sits there sniffling. Moments later Alex walks in
Alex: Danny...
Alex walks over and sits next to Danny, wrapping his arms around him
Danny: he...he broke up with me
Alex: because he knew...everyone fucking knows. Even my dad knew...I didn’t know until we were both captured by the witches and you spent that night in my tent. That’s when I knew I loved you
Danny takes a deep breath
Danny: this is all just too much. I’m...I’m gonna go stay at my dads house for a few days
Danny stands up and walks out as Alex calls after him then sits there feeling guilty
Peter Hale rolls his eyes as stiles paces back and forth
Peter: are you gonna fucking talk? You’ve been pacing back and forth for 16 minutes
Eddie: he’s thinking
Suddenly the door to the loft slides open as Danny walks in carrying a bag and looking sad
Peter: Danny?
Peter walks over to Danny and goes to hug him but Danny stops him
Danny: I just need somewhere to stay for a little bit
Isaac: Danny what’s wrong?
Isaac and Derek frown
Danny: Evan and I broke up
Stiles: shit...
Derek: Danny...why?
Danny: I don’t wanna talk about it. Peter, Can I have a room? Please
Peter nods
Peter: you can have nolan’s Room
Andrew laughs as Nolan rolls his eyes
Stiles: OKAY! I remember!
Everyone looks at stiles as he stands up
Stiles: the night Eddie was bit. It was back when Jackson was a super douche and I just remember it was the night we had our first run in with vampires
Derek: with damien’s Coven?
Stiles nods
Stiles: I remember it was me, Isaac, and Eddie and something happened and Jackson showed up and we all fought him. Eddie and I were both humans so it was mainly just Isaac taking him on. Next thing we know Eddie gets bit and Jackson escapes. Derek you weren’t answering your phone, peter was dead
Peter rolls his eyes
Stiles: so we took Eddie to the vet. We took him to Deaton
Everyone gasps as they look at each other
Stiles: he knew about Jackson turning Eddie, He hasn’t been seen for months, he’s an expert on everything Druid moreso than Morell
Derek: no...he promised my mother...
Peter: BLAH BLAH BLAH. that’s the old world Derek this is the new one. He got bored of the Druid way and loved the taste of power that came with being a darach
Isaac: but Deaton always helped us...why change all of a sudden?
Eddie looks at everyone
Eddie: he said...he said he was bringing back balance.
Derek: this is how you bring back balance. By slaughtering the masses
Ominous music plays as they look at each other and flashes of lightning from outside illuminate the loft
To be continued....
