After binging on all 13 episodes of Riverdale, the finale left me with more questions than answers.
That was despite solving the mystery of who killed Jason, which was pretty much the only plot line driving the entire series in the first half.
Based on the popular comic series Archie, Riverdale went down a much darker path — think a mix between Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars.
The climax started with Jason Blossom's death, which was eventually revealed to just be one little broken strand in the town's intricate web of secrets.
That's not all, each family's history was found to be entangled in a dramatic mess that could potentially cost lives and friendships.
Unfortunately, the finale of the season was more concerned with setting the scene for the following season instead of tying up loose ends.
Here are ten questions we want answered:
4. Is no one ever going to address the fact that Jason Blossom and Polly Cooper committed incest?
The chemistry between our favorite twins Cheryl and Jason Blossom has sparked incest rumors. Cheryl’s attraction to Archie, who just so coincidentally resembles Jason, doesn’t help dispel those rumors either.
Surprise surprise, the incestuous couple is revealed to be Jason Blossom and Polly Cooper, whose great-grandfathers were brothers.
Still, Penelope Blossom’s welcoming acceptance of the hybrid Blossom babies, “Nothing could be more purely Blossom”, is a bit too reminiscent of the Ancient Egyptians. It does seem like everyone in the Blossom family has a loose screw.
Even as Hal and Alice Cooper welcome their daughter Polly back into the family house, they haven’t really addressed the question of Jason and Polly being cousins.
