This week's Riverdale finally offers some answers regarding the creepy Farm, with the arrival of Edgar Evernever, but it's still unclear as to how this storyline connects with the Gargoyle King - and with only six episodes till the season finale, I cannot tell how all of this is going to fit together.

We start the episode with what appears to be a raid on Riverdale High, which is incredibly confusing until all is eventually revealed (somewhat anticlimactically). Betty is taking her Farm investigations up a little this week, as she and Veronica tour the Farm on an open house day. Kevin is their tour guide and is decidedly shady about the contents of one closet in particular, which leads Betty to believe that's where the interview tapes are kept. Is it just me or is anyone else getting serious Scientology vibes from The Farm? She takes an interview for The Farm with Evelyn, to try and find out more information, but Evelyn is clearly having none of it, at one point asking if Betty is a "cult" person? It becomes clear to Betty that she needs someone to go undercover, so she enlists Cheryl to help. All it takes apparently is one (obviously) fake crying spell and Evelyn is immediately all over Cheryl, inviting her for an interview at the Farm. It is here that we finally get to meeet the famous Edgar (Chad Michael Murray - how weird is it that he is now playing people's dads? When did that happen?) He very quickly turns the subject of the interview towards a subject that's very close to Cheryl's heart, which she seems to enjoy. She returns to Betty, referring to Edgar as a "yummy snack" and yet another "hot dad" of Riverdale. Betty, of course, isn't willing to let this go quite yet and takes matters into her own hands, leading Cheryl to make a disturbing admission.- Article continues below...
