It’s night time in Riverdale as Jughead is shown walking down a street as snow is falling and there’s Christmas lights on every lamppost
Jughead: it’s Christmas Eve and I’m stuck doing this shit
He runs up the steps of the hospital and walks inside as there’s several injured people in the lobby. Jughead frowns as he sees a poster on the wall that shows Derek’s face and it has a phone number to call if anyone has seen him. Jughead walks past the front desk and gets into an elevator. Jughead sighs as he leans against the wall then the elevator doors open and a doctor stands there
Doctor: are you lost? this is a restricted level
Jughead thinks quickly as the doctor stares at him
Jughead: yeah I’m lost. I was wondering if you could tell me where-
Out of nowhere Jughead punches him hard across the face knocking the doctor down then he grabs him by the neck and puts him a chokehold. The doctor flails around as Jughead tightens his grip then he goes unconscious
Jughead: sorry
Jughead quickly walks out the elevator and runs down a hallway. He goes past a sign that says blood bank as he has a backpack on his back. He takes it off as he walks into the bank and he opens multiple drawers and just starts loading his bag up with bags of blood. The backpack gets full and Jughead stuffs some inside his coat as he sighs
The elevator doors open as Jughead is back on the main floor as he quickly walks out the hospital and heads down a street in the downtown area. Suddenly someone grabs Jughead and pulls him into an alley. Jughead gasps as it’s Archie who looks worried
Jughead: Archie? I thought you were at the cabin
Archie: they’re following you
Jughead frowns and peeks out the alley as down the street there’s a car without its lights on slowly moving down the street
Jughead: hiram’s Men?
Archie: obviously...he’s gotta suspect that we’re helping them
Jughead: or Veronica told him something
Archie frowns
Archie: if she did it’s our dead bodies
Jughead looks around
Jughead: lets just get this blood to them
Archie nods as they walk down the alleyway
Veronica, Hermione and Hiram Lodge are shown having dinner in a very fancy and expensive restaurant in downtown Riverdale
Veronica: so daddy, anymore executions planned? Nothing says Christmas cheer like shooting someone in the head infront of the whole town
Hiram: it’s necessary
Veronica: you’re killing people
Hermione laughs
Hermione: people? Those aren’t people
Hiram: what we have here...no one else in the entire world has Veronica. The world is still being ravaged by the T virus...every day the number of humans left on earth decreases and the number of infected increases. We’ve created an oasis away from it all...the supernaturals jeopardize this oasis. They’re dangerous, they’re like a plague and we can’t risk. I don’t care if you’re an alpha wolf or a witch...I’ll kill you to ensure the continuity of my city and of my species and most importantly of my family
Hermione smiles and holds his hand as Veronica looks past them and sees Archie and Jughead slowly walking past the restaurant
Veronica: Can I be excused?
Hermione: no
Veronica gets up anyways and walks outside the restaurant
Veronica: Archie! Jughead...
They both turn around and look at us
Veronica: long time no see
She smiles
Veronica: what’re you guys doing?
Jughead goes to speak but Archie cuts him off
Archie: tell your dad to leave us alone Veronica
Veronica frowns
Veronica: what’re you talking about?
Jughead: he thinks we’re helping the hale pack he thinks we know where they are. He’s got his men following us everywhere we go.
Veronica: guys...I didn’t...I didn’t say anything to him
Archie: bullshit
Jughead sighs
Jughead: that doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is that you still stick by him even when you see how horrible he is. He publicly murdered a 16 year old girl today for being a werewolf. Where do you draw the line Veronica?
Veronica fights back tears
Veronica: he’s my family
Archie: yeah.....so were we
Archie and Jughead turns and leave as Veronica sniffles then goes back inside the restaurant
The massive metal wall around Riverdale is shown as there’s guards patrolling on the top of it with guns. Archie and Jughead quietly crouch as they approach a small opening in the wall. It’s super skinny and both have to turn sideways to slide through it. They both make it through as the river is a few yards away. Archie and Jughead walk towards the woods then Jughead looks back at the wall as there’s 4 bodies hanging from outside the wall with gunshot holes in their heads and they have signs across their chests. One says WITCH, the other WEREWOLF, the third VAMPIRE, and the fourth SUPERNATURAL ALLY
Archie shakes his head as Jughead sighs
Jughead: welcome to the new Riverdale
They both turn and walk together into the dark woods as the snow keeps falling and ominous music plays

It’s morning in the woods outside of Riverdale as the sun hangs overhead and the ground is covered in snow. 2 deer walk around looking for food. Alex is shown in the distance holding daryl’s crossbow as the light from the sun reflects off of his metal arm. He closes one eye as he aims at one of the deer then suddenly a growl is heard. Suddenly Riley drops down from the tree tops and pummels one of the deer to the ground as the other runs off. The deer groans in pain as Riley roars and slashes open its neck with his throat. Alex walks over looking pissed as Riley stands up with blood on his hands
Riley: what? I got him
Alex: he was already in my sights and you let the other one get away. Besides that poor animal didn’t deserve to go out like that
Riley chuckles
Riley: it’s what a wolf would’ve done...besides you’ve murdered how many people in cold blood?
Alex gives him a look
Riley: and don’t worry, the other deer is already taken care of
Suddenly Wally runs past them and grabs alex’s Crossbow. He runs super fast through the forest and catches up with the deer. Wally gets infront of it then shoots it with the crossbow
Wally: sorry Bambi...but we gotta eat somehow
Jughead stands on the porch of the cabin smoking a cigarette as he watches Derek and Stefan chop wood with an axe as they’re both shirtless. Ella walks outside and stands next to Jughead
Ella: thank you
Jughead: for what?
Ella smiles
Ella: helping us...you risked your life getting that blood for us last night. It’s enough to last us several months
Jughead: hopefully this will all be over way before several months.
Ella: how is it in there? Beyond the wall
Jughead sighs
Jughead: a dictatorship. It’s only been a month since they ran you guys out and Hiram Lodge has full control of the city, he’s...he’s slandering you guys everytime he has a chance to...he’s making people hate supernaturals and anyone that supports them. He’s killing people...he’s executing them infront of town hall for all to see them hanging their bodies up on the wall. He’s killing supernatural allies like me and...last night his men were following me
Ella frowns
Ella: then leave...leave Riverdale and come stay with us. Archie too. Everyone in the pack loves you guys you can stay with us for as long as you want
Jughead: I know but...Riverdale is my home and my dad is there. Marcel wasn’t perfect but he was for the people...and yeah he’s different but he is what Riverdale stands for. Hiram Lodge is a villain...a tyrant...he’s the monster not you guys
Ella: then we play this smart and take him down. But we do it one step at a time...that way we all walk out of this alive
Jughead nods as Ella rubs his back. Jughead looks at Derek as Derek looks back at him and smiles
Danny is shown standing in the kitchen in his boxers as he makes some eggs. He glances over as Evan and Archie walk down the stairs from upstairs and they kiss as Archie goes and sits on the couch. Evan walks into the kitchen as Danny smiles
Evan: what’s that face for?
He chuckles
Danny: I’m just happy that you’re happy...and that you found someone. Especially someone that’s extremely hot
Danny laughs and playfully messes up Danny’s hair
Danny: HEY! ASSHOLE!
Evan: I am what I eat...
Danny rolls his eyes as Evan walks back over to the living room and cuddles with Archie on the couch.
Ian is shown banging on the front door of peter’s Cabin which is just a few yards from Derek’s.
Ian: come on uncle peter open up...please
Ian looks around then suddenly Andrew opens the door
Andrew: what?
Ian: where’s my uncle?
Andrew smirks
Andrew: did you schedule an appointment?
Ian growls and grabs Andrew and throws him out into the snow as Ian walks in and licks Andrew out. Ian walks through the cabin as there’s empty bottles of liquor everywhere and Ian steps on a dildo and laughs. He then goes into the living room as Nolan, Peter Pan and Travis are asleep on different couches and Peter Hale stands at the window just looking out at the snowy forest
Peter Hale: did you have to throw him out?
Ian: that kid is a prick
Peter Hale: his anger is what makes him so strong
Ian walks up beside his uncle as he looks worried
Peter Hale: what Can I help you with nephew?
Ian: I should’ve just went to Derek but he’s busy trying to make this place habitable, I could’ve went to Marcel but he’s too busy spying on Riverdale. So I came to you...because no matter what the topic is you seem to know everything about everything
Peter Hale: calling me a nerd like stiles?
Ian sighs as he looks down and closes his eyes
Peter Hale: Ian what is it?
Peter turns to his nephew and actually looks concerned
Peter Hale: talk to me
Ian talks with his eyes still shut
Ian: I don’t know...but I woke up this morning and went into the bathroom...I...I stubbed my toe and it hurt like a bitch so I growled and when I looked into the mirror my eyes were different...they...they didn’t glow red anymore
Peter frowns and his eyes go wide and he gasps as Ian opens his eyes and they’re glowing a bright purple
Peter: and the plot fucking thickens

Veronica is shown at her locker inside of Riverdale High. She rolls her eyes as she notices several students walking past and whispering about her. Veronica then looks at the inside of her locker as she stares at a bunch of pictures she has with Jughead and Archie. Veronica sighs then shuts the locker and gasps as Kevin Keller stands there smiling
Kevin: hey Ronnie
Veronica screams as she jumps in his arms and hugs him
Veronica: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!
Kevin laughs as they start walking together down the hall
Kevin: we found a settlement of survivors down south and lived with them then we heard about Marcel getting ousted so my dad wanted to come back
Veronica: Kevin I’m really happy you’re back...this is a huge town but I was starting to feel completely alone
Kevin looks around
Kevin: where’s our old friends?
Veronica: dead...except for Archie and Jughead. They’re not talking to me at the moment
He makes a face
Veronica: long story
They stop outside of a classroom as Kevin smiles
Kevin: well here’s my class. Let’s meet up for coffee after school?
Veronica: of course cutiekins
Kevin smiles then goes into his class
FP Jones is shown sitting at his kitchen table as he sips a beer and reads a book. Suddenly there’s a Knock at the door as he frowns and stands up. He opens the door and it’s sheriff Keller
FP: look what the snakes dragged in
Keller: says the king serpent himself
FP chuckles
FP: what do you want?
Keller looks around as he sighs
Keller: Can I come in?
FP rolls his eyes then moves out the way so Keller can walk in. FP close the door behind them as Keller looks at him
Keller: you and I we go way back...from us going to Riverdale High together
FP chuckles
FP: you were a doucebag jock and I was a serpent that fucked your girlfriend
Keller: your many arrests
FP: one of which was because I shot you in the leg
Keller glares at him
FP: what is it that you need to tell me?
Keller sighs
Keller: Mayor Lodge
FP: you mean hiram’s Bitch ass?
Keller: the mayor....gave myself and the entire Riverdale Police Department an assignemenf. Pretty sure he also has a private security team tasked on this as well. He thinks Marcel and the Hale pack are still out there....lurking and he wants us to prevent that.
He shows FP a long piece of paper with dozens of names.
Keller: he wants us to track down these people and question them. Round them up if we have to
FP: kill them?
Keller: look at the last two names on the list
FP stares at the paper and his eyes go wide
FP: Archie Andrews.....and Jughead Jones
Keller sighs as he nods
Keller: Hiram for some reason has labeled them as Supernatural Sympathizers
FP: Jughead has been obsessed with supernatural creatures for years and Archie follows whatever he does. They’re just fucking kids
Keller: I need to speak with them...
FP: bullshit! I know you saw the bodies hanging on that wall...Hiram Lodge is a modern day Hitler. He’s rounding up these people and murdering them in cold blood and anyone that that supports them. You tell Hiram Lodge to take my son’s name and Archie’s name off of that fucking list or so help me god I will storm into that penthouse of his and put a bullet in his head
Keller sighs as he walks towards the door
Keller: I don’t like everything I see....but I’ve seen the world out there and it’s rotting and rotting and just getting worse. Hiram wants to make Riverdale safe...and all I want is for our kids to be safe. Marcel only cared about his own people....and they’re too dangerous. I...I’ll talk to Hiram I’ll say Archie and Jughead are innocent that I spoke with them but FP. If your son and Archie are running with wolves....stop them before it gets all of you guys killed
Keller walks out as FP grabs his beer and sips it as he sighs and looks worried
FP: where the hell are you son?

peter is shown staring out his window as he watches Alex Argent dragging a Christmas tree out of the woods as the snow keeps falling. Peter sighs as he looks over at Ian who sits on the couch looking worried
Ian: are you gonna tell me something useful. Like why the hell my eyes are purple now?
Peter sighs
Peter: you’re evolving....normally something has to trigger it but in your case. It happened naturally
Ian: evolving into what?
Peter turns and looks at his nephew
Peter: the next step...there’s Betas then Omegas then Alphas then Deltas and then the rarest of the rare...True Alpha
Ian: like me....what’s after a true Alpha?
Peter: it’s a type of werewolf that hasn’t been documented in modern time...the stuff of legends. The Wolf with the purple eyes...The Gamma wolf
Ian looks confused
Ian: so....I’m...I’m...why me?
Peter: it’s not because you’re a Hale. It’s because you’re also a Targaryen...mid two regal bloodlines like that, something extraordinary is bound to happen.
Ian looks at his uncle
Ian: it’s Christmas Eve....and this is the gift I get
Peter rubs Ian’s shoulder
Peter: it is a gift....you’re now more powerful than all of us. Even me. Speaking of Christmas, what do you want for a gift?
Ian frowns
Ian: peter we’re hiding out in the woods and the only time we get food is when Jughead and Archie get it for us... Christmas is cancelled...for us it’s always been cancelled
Peter sighs
Peter: if you could ask Santa for one thing. What would it be?
Ian rolls his eyes, chuckles then finally gives in an answers
Ian: a baseball bat, mitten and a baseball.
Peter smiles
Peter: Christmas miracles can happen Ian
He rubs his nephews back

The basement of the cabin is shown as Derek, Isaac, Jughead, Marcel, Archie, Evan and Alex Argent stand around a table with a huge map of Riverdale
Jughead: the breach on the wall is here...no one knows about it except for us
Isaac: yet
Archie: aside from his own litttle team of private security. Hiram also has the entire police department backing him up. Whatever order he gives, they do
Evan: I trained some of those men
He looks down and Archie rubs his hand
Marcel paces around as he stares at the map
Marcel: Hiram is a trained hunter...he will find us eventually. So we need to strike before he does
Jughead: all of Riverdale is on his side. They’re eating up all the bullshit he’s been spewing about you guys purposely killing all those people at the rave
Alex speaks up
Alex: juice was powerful and ruthless but he wasn’t smart, not that smart. Archie you saw the Ouroboros tattoo on hiram’s Leg right?
Archie nods
Alex: then we need to prove to the people of Riverdale that Hiram was behind everything. We make people lose confidence in him then we strike
Isaac: or we you know...just leave town before we all get killed
Derek: there is nowhere else....Riverdale belongs to Marcel
Derek looks at the vampire
Derek: and I’ll be damned if some Hunter takes it from him
Marcel smiles brightly as he looks down. Jughead looks around at them
Jughead: so this is the part where you give us a plan that gets us killed
Derek raises an eyebrow and Jughead chuckles
Jughead: sorry....sardonic humor is kind of my thing
Derek walks up behind Jughead and rubs his shoulders. Jughead smiles as he feels the alphas strong hands on him
Derek: I need you and Archie to go back to Riverdale and find out anything you can...anything that pins Hiram Lodge to the Ouroboros killings. Get close to Veronica again if you have to
Jughead nods
Jughead: so destroy Hiram from the inside
Archie grins
Archie: sounds like a plan
Derek: oh and...merry Christmas everyone
The outside of the cabin is shown as the snow keeps falling and Jughead hugs Derek. Archie and Evan stand off to the side kissing as Evan looks sad
Archie: you’ll see me again soon....I promise
Evan rubs the side of Archie’s face
Evan: I’m just worried...this is dangerous
Archie nods
Archie: I know but I also know that I want to be with you and with you pack. So if taking on Hiram Lodge is what it takes....so be it.
Archie leans in and kisses Evan then walks away as Evan looks sad as the two human boys disappear in the snowy woods.
Jughead and Archie walk around the woods in silence then Jughead looks at Archie
Jughead: you can get close to Veronica....I can’t do it
Archie stops walking and frowns
Archie: yeah you can...you may have gotten fucked by Derek but Evan and I are together in an actual relationship. Veronica will let you in....and getting close to her gets you close to Hiram
Jughead: and while I’m getting into the good graces of the Lodge’s what the hell are you gonna be doing?
Archie smirks as he shows off a huge bag on his back
Archie: Evan gave me a few things...to sabotage the evil empire
They keep walking as the wall is in the distance. Eventually they reach the small gap in the wall and slide through it as Peter Hale is shown watching them from the woods
Veronica and Kevin Keller are shown sitting at a table outside of a coffee shop
Kevin: what if they’re not the bad guys?
Veronica frowns
Veronica: who?
Kevin: The Hale pack
Veronica: they killed dozens of people at that rave
Kevin sips his coffee
Kevin: I don’t know I just....Ive heard stories about them. About how many people they’ve saved
Veronica: and I’ve heard the stories about how many people they’ve killed. The number is in the thousands
Kevin: according to your father
She frowns at him then Kevin raises an eyebrow as he sees Archie and Jughead walking on the side walk towards them
Kevin: Gingerbread hottie and his Velma sidekick at your 6
Veronica looks back and makes eye contact with Jughead as they approach them. Archie frowns when he sees Kevin
Archie: Kevin Keller?!
Kevin: in the flesh
Jughead: everyone thought you were dead
Kevin chuckles
Kevin: my dad and I just left after marcel became a little trigger happy
Archie: and you came back because of Hiram
Kevin shrugs as Veronica looks at Jughead
Veronica: Can I talk to you alone?
Jughead sighs then nods as he and Veronica walk away. Archie sits in front of Kevin as Kevin smiles
Veronica grabs jughead’s arm
Jughead: Veronica...I...
Veronica: shut up....look my father has you on some kind of list.
Jughead frowns
Jughead: is that why his men keep following me?
Veronica: it’s a list of people he suspects are aiding the hale pack...Jughead I won’t let him hurt you but you need to talk to him
Jughead sighs then Veronica raises an eyebrow
Veronica: you’re not helping them....are you?
Jughead looks past her as Archie shakes his head. Jughead looks back at Veronica
Jughead: uh...no of course not. I haven’t seen them since the night of the rave
Veronica: good...so my place...tonight...at 8
Jughead nods as she walks over to the table and looks at Archie then looks at Kevin
Veronica: ready to go Kevykins?
Kevin nods as he smiles at Archie then walks away with Veronica. Jughead sits back down infront of Archie
Jughead: why’d you want me to lie?
Archie looks around then whispers
Archie: don’t tell me you forgot the plan already....Derek said he wants you to get in good with the Lodges to find proof that he was behind the Ouroboros killings.
Jughead sighs
Jughead: Hiram is just...
Archie: intimidating I know...but. You’re the smartest person I know...find a way to befriend him then break him down from the inside
Jughead nods
Jughead: I need to go home first
Archie nods as they get up and walk off

Jack: I’ll take over for you
Stiles: I just got out here
Jack: you’re human you get cold...I don’t. Why are you even out here?
Stiles frowns
Stiles: because I can shoot a gun
Jack makes a face and stiles sighs
Stiles: because Eddie was going to but he’s not in a good headspace. He’s got some really bad PTSD over what juice was doing to him
Jack sighs
Jack: then you need to be there for him and let me be out here
Stiles smiles then hands the rifle to jack as jack stands outside. Jack paces around as the snow is falling and everything is eerily quiet. Jack looks around then suddenly he gets hit with a tranquilizer in his shoulder as he blinks several times then passes out. 4 men dressed in all black and wearing ski masks grab jack and pick him up then run off with him into the woods
Travis walks into peter’s Cabin and he chuckles as Peter Pan and Andrew take turns fucking Nolan on the couch
Travis: where’s Peter?
Nolan: OHHHHH NO CLUE!

Travis: hey!
They look at him
Alex: lower your voice my baby is sleeping
Travis: who’s supposed to be patrolling outside?

Peter: don’t you wanna bring Christmas cheer to your son and wife?
Stefan: of course but...keeping them alive comes first
Peter; I have a plan...but I need your powers in order to do so
Stefan raises an eyebrow
Stefan: and if I say no?
Peter’s claws come out as the claws on his right hand glow blue
Stefan: belaskos talons
Peter: then I’ll take your powers from you
Stefan rolls his eyes then nods
Stefan: alright fine fuck it....what do you want me to do?
Jack is shown blinking several times as he’s being dragged through the snow. Before he can react he’s lifted up and thrown into the back of a Jeep. Jack breathes heavily as the Jeep is packed full of armed men and most of them point their guns at his face
?: don’t say a word
Jack gulps as he nods and the Jeep starts driving down a snowy dirt road.
Jack: please
?: I SAID SHUT UP!
the man shoots Jack in the shoulder as jack cries out in pain.
Marcel stands in the middle of the woods as he hears jack’s Cries and hears the engine of the engine of the Jeep
Marcel: BARRY THAT WAY!
Barry sprints off through the woods and runs up beside the Jeep. The driver gasps as Barry punches through the window and grabs the steering wheel making the Jeep swerve all over the road. Jack growls as he bites down on the neck of the soldier next to him. The door swings open and both jack and about 3 of the soldier’s that were crammed into the back seat fall out as the Jeep keeps speeding. Jack gets up and runs into the woods as the soldiers shoot at him then suddenly an infected woman leaps at jack from out of the snow and pins him to the ground. Jack screams as she’s half frozen and has iceicles hanging from her arms. Suddenly a roar is heard as marcel appears and snaps her neck then he lifts jack up as the three soldiers approach. They open fire on them right as Marcel uses his own body to protect jack. Marcel screams as the bullets Riddle his back then suddenly Barry runs back and knocks down all of the soldiers. They scramble to grab their guns but that’s when Derek appears out of nowhere and pounces ontop of one and slashes his throat open then the second tries to run but Derek grabs him by his legs and repeatedly swings his body into the side of a tree snapping his back. The third runs off screaming as marcel teleports and appears infront of him then bites down on his neck with his fangs as the man screams. Derek breathes heavily as he looks at Barry
Derek: the others got away didn’t they...they’re gonna tell Hiram our location
Barry smiles as he shakes his head
Barry: don’t worry....they didn’t get away
The Jeep full of hiram’s Men is shown speeding down the dirt road as the Riverdale wall can be seen in the far distance. Suddenly Alex appears just standing in the road infront of them
?: HIT HIM!
The driver slams on the gas and speeds at alex head on. Alex let’s out a loud berserker roar as the Jeep goes right into him but alex punches the front of the Jeep with his metal fist. The Jeep crunches in on itself from the impact of the metal fist and everyone inside of it goes flying out the windshield. The Jeep lays in a crunched up ball of metal as Alex chuckles as there’s just one soldier that survived and he tried to crawl away leaving a blood trail. Alec chuckles as he walks over and steps on the man’s back
Alex: you’re gonna give Hiram a message for me....but you won’t be alive long enough to see it
The man screams loudly
Hiram’s guards are shown pacing back and forth ontop of the Riverdale wall then suddenly one of them notices something in the snow outside the wall that wasn’t there a few moments ago. The guard blows a whistle and suddenly the entrance to the wall opens and a group of guards and police officers run out of the city limits and approach the object. They all gasp as it’s the severed head of the soldier that Alex killed and on the head is a sign that reads HIRAM LODGE SYMPATHIZER

Jughead and Archie are shown walking into FP’s house as it’s now dark out and FP sits at the kitchen smoking a cigarette looking pissed. Archie stops and awkwardly looks down as Jughead approaches the table
Jughead: Dad....what’s wrong?
FP: SIT DOWN
Jughead frowns then sits
FP: you too Archie
Archie sighs as he sits down as well. FP slides the list Sheriff Keller gave him infront of Jughead
FP: Hiram fucking Lodge put your name on a list for aiding the hale pack
Jughead rolls his eyes
Jughead: they’re good people Dad
FP: this isn’t about good or bad Jughead! This is about staying alive! The world isn’t what it used to be...I was out there for weeks I saw the rest of the world...I heard the radio transmissions coming out from all parts of the country. It’s gone...everything is gone. There’s nothing but millions of infected spread out across the world and then there’s Riverdale. You can’t mess this up for us
Archie: to be fair...
FP glares at him and Archie sighs
Archie: didn’t you use to be one of Marcel’s allies?
FP rolls his eyes
FP: marcel helped the serpents while the witches made things difficult for all of us...but Hiram is a different story. Even in the apocalypse the man has all kinds of connections and resources so with that being said. Jughead....no more seeing the Hales
Jughead: BUT...
FP puts his finger up
FP: no BUTS! Same goes for you Archie...youre living under my roof so you abide by my rules
Archie sighs
Archie: I’m...I’m dating someone in that pack
FP shakes his head
FP: not anymore...you’re just kids! You’re gonna get yourselves killed
Jughead: Dad there’s kids in that pack! And they’re innocent...Hiram is the bad guy!
FP slams his hands down on the table
FP: it doesn’t matter....you need to fix things with the lodge’s...convince him that this is all just a mistake. If Marcel and the Hales wanna have a war with him then so be it but we stay out of it.
Archie: Veronica told Jughead that she would convince her father it’s a mistake...but Jughead has to go have dinner with them tonight
Jughead looks at Archie and FP sighs
FP: good...now take your ass to their penthouse and act like the little high school kid you should be.
Jughead storms off and goes upstairs as Archie follows him. Jughead goes into the room and sits on the bed as Archie walks in
Archie: relax this is good...this was the plan from the beginning
Jughead: I know it’s just...my dad is like the rest of the people in this town. We should be fighting for the Hales not turning our backs on them
Archie sits next to Jughead as Jughead pulls a notebook out from under his bed and shows it to Archie. Archie opens it and there’s drawings of Derek, Stiles, Scott, Lydia, Danny, Jackson, Evan.
Archie: whoa...you drew these? They’re really good
Jughead: I know almost everything about what they’ve been through...how many people they’ve saved...the sacrifices they had to make. They’re my heroes and we can’t turn our backs on them
Archie nods as he looks at Jughead
Archie: then stick with the plan...and let’s take Hiram Lodge down
Jughead smiles at Archie
Stefan and Peter Hale are shown standing infront of Riverdale mall as it’s closed
Stefan: peter, why are we here?
Peter just looks at him
Peter: get us inside
Stefan sighs then grabs peter and they teleport inside of the empty mall. They stand in the food court as Stefan looks confused
Stefan: you wanted to come all the way here for a burger?
Peter just looks at the vampire
Peter: get a shopping cart and go around the mall, fill it up with anything you think someone in the pack would want then meet me back here in one hour
Stefan looks surprised then walks away but stops and looks back at peter
Stefan: you’re.....you’re giving the pack a real Christmas aren’t you?
Peter says nothing and walks away as Stefan smiles and runs off to grab a cart
Jack is shown moaning in pain as he lays on the kitchen table as Derek uses tweezers to pull the bullet out of his gunshot wound as marcel holds his legs down and everyone watches. Alex looks out the window as Evan walks over to him
Evan: you shouldn’t have done that
Alex frowns
Alex: done what?
Evan: the message you left for Hiram
Alex turns to face Evan
Alex: they were trying to take jack...and you know what would’ve happened if they did? Jack would’ve been tortured and used as bait to get us to go to Hiram then he would’ve slaughtered all of us.
Evan: Archie and Jughead are still in there
Alex: not my problem
Evan growls then storms off as Danny walks over
Danny: everything okay?
Alex looks into his eyes and nods
Alex: he’s just being a hot head....as usual

Hermione: the Wolf sympathizer is arriving now
She sits down and Veronica glares at her mother
Veronica: don’t call him that! He’s not true!
Hiram: relax Veronica...now go let your friend in
Veronica stands up and walks to the front door and opens it as Jughead stands there. She hugs him and whispers
Veronica: you’re like 15 minutes late
Jughead: sorry my dad wanted to have a talk with me. Hows your dad?
She gives him a look and he gulps as he walks into the house and looks at Hermione and Hiram
Jughead: hi...I’m...
Hiram: Jughead Jones...FP’s son.
Jughead shakes hiram’s Hand then walks around the table and kisses Hermione on the cheek before sitting across from Veronica
Hiram: now that our guest is here...let’s bow our heads and say grace before we eat
Jughead looks nervous as they all hold hands then bow their heads
The warehouse district of Riverdale is shown as a large sign reads LODGE ENTERPRISES. Archie is shown crouched down next to the building as he looks at a map. He then has a flashback from being in the basement of the cabin with Jughead and the leaders of the pack. Jughead points to the warehouse district
Jughead: if we want to cripple Hiram this is where we strike first...it’s where he keeps half of his guns, his oil, his drugs and a shit ton of his money...we destroy this place we weaken the serpent. And we let him know that we mean business
Derek nods
Archie takes a deep breath as he sees several armed men patrolling outside of the building. He opens up the backpack Evan gave him and pulls out multiple C-4 charges. Archie crawls around the building as he plants the c4 around every corner
Jughead cuts away at a steak on his plate as Hermione and Veronica also eat. Hiram sips his wine then looks at Jughead
Hiram: so Jughead...I’m sure your father has told you that I’m worried about you
Jughead raises an eyebrow
Jughead: he told me about your accusations
Veronica’s eyes go wide
Hiram: Riverdale is a special place...a special place for working class humans that just want to survive and be safe from the horrors of the outside world. People like Marcel and like the hale pack...they’re not people. They’re worse than the infected that roam the wild...they’re a disease. You see how much pain they’ve caused this town, Marcel waged a war against the witches that caused countless human lives, then he let the Hales in and you see what they did. It took someone to stand up for Riverdale and that someone is me. I’ll be damned if someone else gets killed because of the animalistic behavior of these supernatural beasts
Jughead: I....I thought they were ok. I thought they were okay until the rave until I saw what they did
Hermione clears her throat
Hermione: some people have said that you’re still close with them
Jughead: no one knows where they are...how could they see me with them but not know where they’re hiding out? Like I said they tricked me into believing they were good then at the rave I saw the monsters that they are...I’m lucky to be alive
He takes a deep breath and looks sad but Hermione rubs his hand
Hermione: it’s gonna be okay
Hiram smirks as he rubs jughead’s shoulder
Hiram: we should go out shooting sometime...without the women
Veronica frowns as Jughead nervously agrees
Archie nervously crawls into the warehouse as multiple guards walk around the area. He places a C4 charge on the barrels of oil. Archie sweats as he activates the charge then suddenly he hears a guard scream HEY!
Archie nervously stops what he’s doing as he puts his hands up and all the guards run over and point their guns at him.
Guard: PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR FUCKING HEAD! DONT MOVE
Archie: how Can I put my hands on my head and not move?
One of the guards hits Archie across the back of his head with his gun and Archie falls to the ground and cries out as they kick him. He grabs one by the leg and does a wrestling move causing the guard to fall as Archie gets ontop of him then stops as the other guards point their guns at his head. Suddenly a loud growl is heard and the men scream as Evan drops down from the ceiling as he roars and slashes open the throats of 2 guards with his huge black claws. The others 2 run away but Evan shoots two fireballs out the palms of his hands and they strike the guards as they fall and roll around as they’re on fire. The guard Archie is sitting ontop of points his gun at Evan so Archie yells and pulls a knife out and stabs the guard multiple times in the chest. Archie screams like a madman as he keeps stabbing the guard as blood goes everywhere. Evan runs over and pulls Archie off
Evan: ARCHIE!
Archie drops the knife and cries as Evan holds him
Evan: shhhh...I’m here baby...I’m here
Archie holds on tightly to Evan then they here more voices and footsteps approaching in the distance
Evan: we have to go!
Archie grabs his bag and pulls out the detonator
Archie: I got a job to do first
Stefan Is shown standing in the food court of the empty mall as there’s 2 shopping carts infront of him with piles of toys and electronics. Suddenly peter walks over carrying a baseball bat, baseball mitten and a baseball
Stefan: these material things won’t change what people think about you
Peter: I don’t care...all that matters is that they’re happy...even if just for a moment. Now get us home
Suddenly a loud explosion is heard as the entire building shakes and all the windows shatter. Peter grabs onto one shopping cart and stefan’s Hand
Peter: get us home! Now!
Stefan grabs the other shopping cart as they disappear
Jughead is shown standing at the windows of the penthouse looking out at the entire city of Riverdale as Hiram stands next to him
Hiram: all of this is ours Jughead...the new world...a safe world. The new Riverdale
Veronica and Hermione sit on the couch when suddenly a bright flash lights up the whole city followed by a loud explosion as the windows shatter and a fireball rises from the warehouse in the distance. Veronica screams as Jughead and Hiram are knocked to the ground and the windows in the penthouse shatter from the shockwave
Jughead: HOLY SHIT!
Hiram sits up looking furious as the smoke rises up into the sky and sirens can be heard coming from all over the city
Ian is shown opening his eyes as he lays in bed. He sits up as he hears a bunch of voices and cheering coming from downstairs. Ian sits up and sees Theo looking out the window
Ian: hey babe...you ok?
Theo: there’s smoke coming from Riverdale
Ian walks over to Theo and looks out the window as a huge pound of black smoke can be seen rising in the distance
Ian: holy shit
Ian and Theo walk downstairs as everyone is in the living room tearing up presents. Peter Hale stands in the corner smiling
Ian: what the hell?
Derek: merry Christmas
Ian looks confused as stiles unwraps a PlayStation 4. Ella and Lydia try on the different kinds of makeup they got and Jackson and Danny unwrap a bunch of clothes
Ian: how did all of this get here?
Derek: Santa obviously
Ian looks towards the tree as there’s a baseball bat leaning against it with a baseball kitten and a baseball. The bat has a tag on it that says For Ian. Ian walks over to it and grabs the bat as he gasps. He glances over at peter as Ian’s eyes are filled with tears and peter half smiles then walks out as Ian sniffles
It’s morning as Jughead walks into his bedroom as Archie sits on the bed
Jughead: what the fuck was that?!
Archie frowns as Jughead yells
Jughead: it was you wasn’t it? The plan was to break Hiram down from the inside not be terrorist
Archie stands up
Archie: only ones killed were his men. Nobody innocent got hurt THIS is how you topple a dictator
Jughead: you did nothing but make him even more angry.
Archie: anger reveals weakness
Jughead: what’re you gonna do when he sends an army of gunmen into those woods searching for the pack huh? Are you gonna right for them? You’re not a fucking soldier you’re just a kid
?: he’s done more than you have
Jughead looks as Evan walks out the bathroom naked and Jughead gulps
Archie: did you get any intel on Hiram? Or did you just enjoy fancy steak while Veronica gawked all over you?
Jughead frowns
Jughead: my dad told me to make things right
Archie: and Derek said to find something to pin all of those crimes on Hiram! Who’s side are you on?!
Evan starts putting his clothes on as Archie grabs a huge bag from the floor
Jughead: where are you going Archie?
Archie: to stay at the cabin...when you’re ready to actually help them come see us. Until then try to stay out of the crossfire
Archie looks at Jughead then walks out with Evan as Jughead looks down then punches the wall
Veronica walks out of her bedroom and sighs as she sees the broken glass on the ground and can see the smoke rising in the distance. Suddenly someone puts a bag over her head as she screams
Everything goes black until the bag is pulled off of Veronica and she’s tied to a chair in a dark basement as Hiram stands infront of her and Hermione stands to the side
Veronica: what the hell is this?
Hiram: you were just taken against your will...by someone more powerful than you
Hermione: the clock is ticking...no one is coming to save you...your survival depends on you and only you
She paces around her as Veronica breathes heavily
Veronica: THIS ISNT FUNNY! FUCKING PSYCHOS!!!
suddenly Hiram puts a gun up to veronica’s Forehead as she quivers and cries in fear
Hiram: you have 10 seconds to break out of the chair before I pull the trigger and splatter your brains everywhere. 10.....9....
Hermione: he’ll do it Veronica...even to his own daughter
Hiram: 8....7....
Veronica tugs and pulls on the ropes of the chair as she breathes heavily
Hiram: 4...3....
Hermione: better start thinking about all of those moments you’ll never experience my beautiful daughter...never get to get married..never have kids...never even get to graduate
Veronica cries
Hiram: 2.....1....
Veronica kicks her legs on the ground so the chair tips backwards and hits the ground. The wooden chair breaks as she rolls out the way right as Hiram shoots multiple times at her but misses. Veronica screams as she crawls back into the corner and shakes
Hermione: that was good Veronica
Hiram walks over to his daughter and extends his hand. Veronica shakes but grabs his hand and he pulls her up then embraces her in a hug and kisses her on the head
Hiram:shhhhhhh.....I think...I think it’s time to start your training
Ominous music plays as Veronica looks worried but Hiram looks at Hermione and she smirks
To be continued...
