Also, I am always happy to talk about any of the media I have consumed.

Riverdale 2.14 -- Chapter 27: The Hills Have Eyes

Okay, I know I follow almost no one who watched Riverdale, but I still feel cheated that the Internet did not inform me about the Cheryl reveal in this episode.

(I finally started catching up on S2 after dropping it midway through, mostly because I'm intrigued by the Carrie musical episode I saw teasers for during like umpteen episodes of Black Lightning.)
