Riverdale is juggling a pretty wide array of plotlines in its fourth season, from the ominous nature of Jughead Jones’ (Cole Sprouse) post-Spring-Break fate, to the fact that Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch) is keeping her brother’s rotting corpse in her basement. On top of all of that, the show is set to deal with the coming trials of both Hiram (Mark Consuelos) and Hermione Lodge (Marisol Nichols) — and we have a look at what that will entail. The CW recently released a batch of photos for “Chapter Sixty-Two: Witness for the Prosecution”, the fifth episode of the show’s fourth season.

Based on the photos, it looks like Veronica (Camila Mendes) will in fact be playing a role in both of her parents’ trials, even though she previously refused to earlier this season. Given the fact that Veronica also recently changed her last name to “Luna” – a nod to Hiram’s original surname – in an attempt to distance herself from her family, things are sure to get even more complicated.
The photos also show the arrival of Vida star Mishel Prada, who was cast in the series earlier this year as a private investigator. Prada’s character is credited in the photos as “Hermosa Lodge”, which could indicate that Veronica has a stronger tie to her than fans might have initially thought.
