To find out more about Gryphons and Gargoyles, Riverdale gave fans a full on flashback to when the parents of the town’s most popular students were attending Riverdale High themselves. That’s right, the episode drops into the 90s and shows how the parents end up first in Saturday detention and, later, forever changed by the mysterious death of Principal Featherhead and its connection to the mysterious role playing game.

Things that make you go “ew gross no”
Honestly the Blossom’s adopting Penelope to groom to be Cliffords wife makes me wonder if Penelope and Clifford had intended for their daughter and son to be with each other. #Riverdale
