So far, fans of Riverdale have seen very little of Cole Sprouse's Jughead Jones in his personal life. That will change a little bit tonight -- and then the audience will get to know the character's father in the show's upcoming seventh episode, titled "In A Lonely Place."

The CW have released the official synopsis for that episode, which you can see below.

When a major piece of evidence is mysteriously destroyed, new rumors begin to swirl as to who was really behind Jason's murder. Tensions build when Jughead's (Cole Sprouse) father returns to the fray and it's revealed that he and Fred (Luke Perry) have some unresolved issues between them. Meanwhile, Veronica (Camila Mendes) takes matters into her own hands after her fight with Hermione (Marisol Nichols). Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) approaches Betty (Lili Reinhart) with an unexpected proposal that leaves Betty torn.

KJ Apa and Madchen Amick also star. Allison Anders directed the episode written by Aaron Allen.

Tonight's episode is a pretty big one for Jughead, and will inform how the character moves forward from this point on in the season. Cole Sprouse has said that "In A Lonely Place" might be his favorite episodes of the season, so if you're a fan of Jughead (or Sprouse), the next three weeks will be big.
