Riverdale: Chapter Eight: The Outsiders Photos

03/15/2017 10:38 pm EDT

The CW has released new photos ahead of 'The Outsiders', the upcoming eighth episode of Riverdale's first season.

With Riverdale taking a two-week hiatus, these images are an indication that the show promises to come back with a bang. Photos in the gallery show the Riverdale High gang being confronted by Alice Cooper (Madchen Amick), presumably for something related to Polly's reappearance. In addition, several of the photos show Betty and Veronica throwing Polly a baby shower, which appears to go about as well as you would expect, in part thanks to the Cooper and Blossom families.

As Fred (Luke Perry) and his crew are about to start construction he loses his crew, which could put his livelihood in jeopardy. Wanting to help his dad, Archie (KJ Apa) and his friends pitch in to help but after one of them is attacked, the gang comes up with a plan that lands them in Southside Serpent territory.

With Jughead's (Cole Sprouse) secret revealed, he is worried about how his friends will react. Meanwhile, Veronica (Camila Mendes) and Betty (Lili Reinhart) suggest throwing Polly (guest star Tiera Skovbye) a baby shower to make her feel better, but Polly is hesitant knowing how everyone feels. Marisol Nichols, Madchen Amick, Madelaine Petsch and Ashleigh Murray also star.

David Katzenberg directed the episode written by Julia Cohen.
