SPOILERS AHEAD
Betty and Jughead have called Charles and the FBI after discovering the latest video from the Auteur, a re-enactment of Mr. Honey’s supposed death. Fortunately, Charles is able to confirm that Mr. Honey is alive and well and that the video they recovered was merely a faux snuff film. It would seem that the Auteur has moved on from recreating a killing to re-enacting a metaphoric murder — Betty, Jughead, and their friends getting Mr. Honey fired. Furthermore, Jughead reveals that he also wrote a story called Killing Mr. Honey, within which was a fictionalized version of the cabin. However, Jughead only told his story to a couple people. An agent then recovers four ticket stubs from Blue Velvet Video, leading Jughead to suspect that the shop keeper, David, is somehow involved.
Archie returns from an early morning run. While he was out, Veronica came across a new song that he wrote. Unbeknownst to Veronica, Archie wrote the song for Betty. He balls the song up and tells her that it’s not worth him performing. Veronica then gets a message from her father, requesting that she return home.
Veronica arrives at the Pembrooke, where Hiram informs her and Hermione that he’s beating his disease. However, Veronica doesn’t believe him and proceeds to call his doctor for reassurance. Hermione questions how Hiram is recovering so quickly. Hiram claims that he’s been trying a new workout regimen, which in reality, simply consists of him beating up thugs. Veronica confirms that her father is indeed recovering and decides to celebrate.
Charles has brought David in for questioning, but he’s not talking. He also claims that he’s never seen those ticket stubs before either. Jughead isn’t certain that David is the Auteur, but he can’t shake the feeling that David is profiting from the videos.
Betty questions Ms. Bell about the Auteur’s latest video, though she insists that she has no knowledge of Betty and her friends killing Mr. Honey. Mr. Weatherbee interrupts, having been reinstated as principal. Betty asks how he’s dealing. Weatherbee remarks that he makes it through most nights without waking up screaming.
