This week, The CW's Riverdale kicks off the first of its final four episodes – and it does it with style. That's because S07E17: "Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Four: A Different Kind of Cat" (Kevin Rodney Sullivan directed the episode written by Ariana Jackson & Evan Kyle) sees the return of Ashleigh Murray's Josie McCoy – well, the 1950s version that is. But this update is looking further into August – at the series' penultimate episode, to be precise. In our preview rundown below, we have the official overview for S07E19 "Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Six: The Golden Age of Television" – and without spoiling anything? We're just going to say that anything involving "the town's past secrets" and the gang having to make a "difficult decision" that would "change each of their lives forever" is probably not a good sign of what's to come – and we still have one more episode after that!

What You Need to Know About Season 7

The seventh season of Riverdale goes where no season has dared to go before — the 1950s! Picking up where last season ended, Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) finds himself trapped in the 1950s. He has no idea how he got there nor how to get back to the present. His friends are no help, as they are living seemingly authentic lives, similar to their classic Archie Comics counterparts, unaware that they've ever been anywhere but the 1950s.

Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) is the classic all-American teen, coming of age, getting into trouble, and learning life lessons; Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is the girl next door, starting to question everything about her perfect life—including her controlling mother Alice (Madchen Amick); Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes) is a Hollywood starlet who moved to Riverdale under mysterious circumstances; Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch) is the Queen Bee with a withering wit and a secret longing; Toni Topaz (Vanessa Morgan) is an activist fighting for the Black students of recently integrated Riverdale High; Kevin Keller (Casey Cott) is a "square" crooner wrestling with his sexual identity; Reggie Mantle (Charles Melton) is a basketball star from farm country; and Fangs Fogarty (Drew Ray Tanner) is a greaser who's destined to be an Elvis-type star.

It isn't until Jughead is visited by Tabitha Tate (Erinn Westbrook) — Riverdale's Guardian Angel — that he learns the cosmic truth about their predicament. Will Jughead and the gang be able to return to the present? Or will our characters be trapped in the 1950's forever? And, if so…is that such a bad thing?
