The CW has released the official synopsis for "Nighthawks," the second episode of Riverdale's second season, which will air on October 18.
The episode centers around an attempt to save Pop's Diner from being closed -- one of the most commonly-used storylines in the comics! This is probably where all those behind-the-scenes photos of Jughead, Betty, and others in Pop's garb came from.
You can check out the official synopsis (spoilers?) below.
With the gunman still at large and the residents of Riverdale on edge, Betty (Lili Reinhart) leads the charge to save Pop's after learning that the diner may be forced to close its doors forever.
Meanwhile, the gang becomes increasingly concerned for Archie's (KJ Apa) well being after noticing a string of unusual behavior from him. Elsewhere, Betty and Veronica (Camila Mendes) approach Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) and Josie (Ashleigh Murray) for their help saving Pop's, while Jughead's (Cole Sprouse) attempt to find FP (Skeet Ulrich) a new lawyer may have some serious repercussions.
Finally, when a past betrayal unexpectedly comes to light, Veronica finds herself at a crossroads with Hiram (Mark Consuelos) and Hermoine (Marisol Nichols).
Allison Anders directed the episode written by Michael Grassi.
While each episode of Riverdale is named after a movie, and there is a film called Nighthawks, that movie centers on a man who is exploring his sexuality and seems an unlikely fit for this description. The title was most likely chosen because it's the name of a famous painting of people at a '50s style diner.
