Riverdale Preview: The Gang Plays A Deadly Round of Killing Mr. Honey

After a week that saw The CW's Riverdale paid its respects to the themes and vibes of David Lynch, it's only fitting that Twin Peaks' "Shelly Johnson" (Mädchen Amick) would be taking over the director's chair for this week's chapter, "Killing Mr. Honey". In an unexpected twist that keeps the "weird" theme rolling, Amick's directorial effort will also be the series' abrupt season finale. With the coronavirus pandemic shuttering productions across the board, Riverdale (as was the case with The Flash) is having to wrap things up early (going 19 eps instead of the planned 22 eps) and it looks like they're doing it in murderous style. Principal Honey (Kerr Smith) has been the fly in the Vaseline for our heroes all season, so what better subject for Jughead's (Cole Sprouse) college submission story. Our two biggest concerns? We're not sure a "revenge murder fantasy" is the best thematic choice for college admission, and we definitely don't think it's a good idea working on stories like this with others when there are creepy "snuff" (???) videos making the rounds. Maybe we're just prudes.
