The CW has released photos for “Chapter Eighty-Five: Destroyer”, the ninth episode of Riverdale‘s fifth season. The episode is set to air on March 24th. The episode’s rather ominous title is fitting given the bleak nature of the season which has thus far seen the main characters becoming teachers at Riverdale High school — after a seven-year time jump — while Hiram Lodge (Mark Consuelos) tries to destroy the town through unincorporation and things don’t seem to be getting any easier this episode. From the sound of things, a series of losses on the football field has the students in need of some major school spirit, among other concerns.
