I would argue that's it's a defense mechanism that he uses because he's been hurt so much in the past (dysfunctional family drama, bullying, social anxiety). It's definitely not a good knee-jerk reaction to have, but I can kind of see why he does it.

Apparently they've only been feeding her "daily" strawberry milkshakes.
Doctors orders!

I suspect he was pushed into and subsequently drowned in a giant vat of maple syrup. He died the way he lived. Loving maple syrup. <3

Yes, and Vegas was also shown with Jughead in the garage in episode 10, when he was avoiding the party. Vegas is supportive like that…
I had to go back and re-watch the scene of Archie and Vegas on the couch, cuz he weirdly pushes Vegas in the face when he hears Fred come in the door and abruptly goes to jump up. Why…

Old Dutch is a Canadian brand of chips. In fact, I live in Winnipeg where the Old Dutch factory is - we went on a tour there at some point when I was in junior high. Yay! Free chips! :D

I believe it was Adderall that she was taking. But it has similar effects to Ritalin and is mostly used to treat ADD & ADHD symptoms.

Yeah, that was super sweet. I'm such trash for their bittersweet romance (bittersweet only in the sense that they're both deeply damaged people who've had rough upbringings, but who are still inherently kind, compassionate, kindred spirits who've found solace, security and support with each other).

A puppy! (j/k I wish) Still patiently waiting for Hotdog to finally show up. Maybe Jughead's Mom and Jellybean have Hotdog! Yeeeeeah!

The Pussycats being a live band at the party seems like a missed opportunity to me. The last 3 episodes or more have been severely lacking in The Cats musical action. Even just a brief snippet of a song would suffice! Throw us a bone Riverdale!

Yet another perfect example that Archie is really a dog in a man's body. Always jumping up in your face and slobbering all over you (or spilling beer on you in this case) and blocking you when you just want to keep walking to your destination. Valerie should have picked up the nearest stick and thrown it, that would…

I've read elsewhere on the Interwebs that their shipname is "Varchie".
Sounds like a word to describe nausea.
"I was feeling *so* Varchie after Jughead's party last night…"

And you'd see that FP did a hasty, messy job of trying to un-stitch the embroidered "Jason" name, but then remembered his kids name was Jughead, so he decided to leave the "J"

And for the inevitable Halloween episode it'll be, "Feed my Frankenstein!"
Her new boyfriend FP will be dressed as Frankenstein..and having some serious munchies! XD

This is so me. Why dirty a plate when you can eat brownies right out of the pan? :P

Jughead would be more of an Athos. What with the whole angsty vibe he's worked very hard to master. Let's just hope he never falls for Cheryl - she's a total Milady DeWinter if I ever saw one! Yikes! :O

Look, FP *was* about to leave, but then the "Secrets and Sins" game started and he was all, "Oh snap…things just got real!" and he settled in with a bowl of popcorn and his ears at the ready. ;)

*Multiple* wigs actually (as evidence by the promo for ep #11) - he's got one for every occasion apparently!
"This is my "Fancy Dinner Party" wig, I call him "Alfredo", and here is my "Golfing with Board Members" wig, this one is called "Bruce"…"

Yeah it was pretty much implied that he had been steadily drinking since that afternoon when he hugged Jughead and he remarked, "Dude you stink! Are you drunk?" and Archie lied and said, "No." Or maybe he didn't lie outrightly, but he was about 1 drink away from becoming legit drunk at that stage of the party (ie: the…

OMG! I would die!
"Remember when you were little and always beggin me for a dog, son? Better late than never, am I right?"
Me: Puppyyyyyyyyy!!! <3

Aubrey Plaza's 'insane murder clown act' was a thing of beauty! Such a crazy role and looked like she was having a blast the whole time!
