I kind of didn’t get the big deal about the tooth fairy either, but this episode articulated that kind of importance very well. And Petra trying to make it right was THE sweetest thing. This is how you make your audience fall in love with your characters.

Yeah, I don’t believe the blackmail plotline is over either. Mostly it’s what you said about knowing how to blackmail JR/knowing Milos’s song. But it’s also the lack of hard proof- there’s no reason somebody couldn’t have blackmailed Krishna the same way she wound up blackmailing JR.

The Krishna reveal was absolutely hilarious, but I have 2 big issues with it.

Petra as tooth fairy. Is there no gift Yael Grobglas and the staff are willing to deliver me?

Congratulations! All the best on what I hope is a fruitful career. Don’t forget to plug!

Congrats on the novel

I always refer to Jane the Virgin as my happy show. Yes, people are murdered on a regular basis and yes, the main character’s husband died tragically but for the most part I watch it with a smile on my face.

I’ve been dealing with a relative’s health issues this week so not the best timing for Xo’s storyline. I teared…

As someone who actually has a debut novel coming out this November, I’m really fascinated by this show’s depiction of Jane’s first attempt not doing very well and having to face the reality of where things go after that. It really is a terrifying thing to put such a big part of yourself out there for the world to…

“Curse this annoying child and his goddamned journalism.”

several lol moments this week but Hiram’s rage at being investigated by Jughead is probably the best

This week in Belle Starr Reads The First Paragraph:

Not watching again yet. But the beginning of this review makes me suspect I will eventually watch again.

(For those of who on the edge of your seat.)

Cheryl & Toni are the only couple on the show I am remotely pulling for anymore. It is very nice that someone is in Cheryl’s corner, finally, and is there to laugh with her at her family’s insanity and confirm that yes, your mother is incredibly awful. And Cheryl seemed to confirm in her impromptu speech at the will…

I read a great interview with Madelaine Petsch & she was asked if she is now dating Toni does that mean she has to do the “serpent dance” (which, no). She said she would prefer not to & had told the showrunner that.

Continuity error, or Nana Blossom’s Evil Twin?

I love how the whole “test Chic’s DNA” subplot is really leading up to the inevitable “Hal’s not the father but F.P. is, lulz sorry Betty” reveal.

Was I the only one who saw that moment where Fred got up to leave and told Archie to follow, and Archie was like, “I’m staying,” and Fred was okay with it? I was thinking, “This is where you grab your son by the hoodie he’s wearing and drag him out of there and tell him not to deal with that BS anymore!” But nope,…

Oh, another reason why Riverdale sucks now: Grandma Blossom is missing her Random Red Streak.

The core 4 stories have become the lest interesting part for me. Give me Cheryl and Toni navigating her cursed incest family, and the Coopers covering up murders and making scenes at formal gatherings... and Kevin and his dad’s loving, supportive relationship.

Very heavy episode indeed, I am pretty sure everyone knew Gambi was into some shit, just not that bad. And damnit if that wasn’t a near literal ton to drop on Jefferson in like, five minutes.
