'Riverdale' Season 4 Episode 19: Voyeur tapes storyline delivers a good mystery, fans say 'it's one of the best'
Spoilers for 'Riverdale' Season 4 Episode 19 'Chapter Seventy-Six: Killing Mr Honey'
'Riverdale' has had its share of murderous villains but the voyeur/cinephile storyline has definitely made it a much more chilling series. The season finale took us through two stories - a script where Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) plans the death of Mr Holden Honey (Kerr Smith) in a story that will be sent to the University of Iowa and the real-life story of a cinephile sending threatening tapes to Riverdale's not-so-honest residents. It is by far, the best of the suspense the series has delivered and fans are unable to pinpoint who could be behind the tapes.
"I have to say, the voyeur/tapes storyline is one of the best they’ve done. It’s a good mystery and creepy as hell #riverdale," tweeted a fan.
"Btw, I loved the vibe of the finale. It was like one of the @ArchieHorrorcomics was filmed...dark but still Archie and the gang hanging out. #Riverdale," tweeted another fan.
We have been seeing these tapes for most of the season and only recently has it become the case of the town. Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart), who strays further from her idol Nancy Drew, and her boyfriend Jughead have been helping their half brother Charles Smith (Wyatt Nash) in trying to uncover the identity of the person behind the tapes.
"WHO IS MAKING THESE VIDEO TAPES?! I’m so confused. #Riverdale@CW_Riverdale @WriterRAS @lilireinhart," tweeted another fan. The tapes went from films that showed hours of the fronts of the resident's houses - like they were being stalked - to taking it up a notch and recreating Jason Blossom's death, Midge's death and Jughead's fake death. It seems the cinephile is digging up secrets of the town that brought psychological and physical terror molding the gang into kids who have "experience in getting rid of a dead body."
"I honestly don’t think mr. honey is so “good.” As they keep trying to prove I think it’s him making all the tapes and just got caught with this one It’s either him or Charles. #riverdale," tweeted another fan.
"It means mr honey more than likely hasn’t got anything to do with the tapes if he didn’t know that they had moved on to recreation, but then again it could be reverse psychology or something... its #riverdale who knows," tweeted another fan.
As Jughead wrote a story that showcased a dark death of Mr Honey, he had later changed the story's events after realizing that Mr Honey had vouched for him so he could go to the University of Iowa. But, then, there was a tape delivered that showed the front of the shack in which Hermione Lodge (Marisol Nichols) had her affair with Sheriff Michael Minetta (Henderson Wade) and killed him. Upon arrival to the shack, Betty and Jughead find another tape - the recreation of the gang, in masks, of course, killing Mr Honey.
Whoever this cinephile is, is closer than the gang thinks. Also, the fans have not given up on Mr Honey being behind the tapes, as one tweeted, "Anyone think #MrHoney is behind the tapes? Maybe with a partner say Terry isn’t that his name? Great finale I think I’ll watch seasons 1-4 again while #Riverdale goes on break maybe I won’t miss it so much then." But as a fan warned, "Don’t let these tapes distract you from the fact that charles and chic are a thing. i remember that prison visit we want answers #Riverdale," after all we are in the town known for its murders.
"Tonight’s Season Finale of @CW_Riverdale was amazing. Loved the cliffhanger. This season has been awesome. I really loved it this Season. Had a lot of mysteries and plotting a murder. Can’t wait for everyone to be back in Season 5 for Prom and Graduation. #Riverdale," tweeted a fan and we concur.
