[s4e17] Chapter Seventy-four: Wicked Little Town (RELIABLE | 2027)
Riverdale ’s "Chapter Seventy-Four: Wicked Little Town" serves as a meta-textual turning point, using the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch to mirror the town's internal fractures, authoritarian censorship, and the "wickedness" of nostalgia. The episode acts as a Barchie inflection point, re-igniting the romance between Betty and Archie through thematic connections to the pilot while concurrently escalating the Voyeur mystery.
