'Riverdale' Season 4: 'Suits' star Gina Torres appears as Mrs Burble in upcoming episode of hit teen drama, but is she friend or foe?

It looks like we'll also be getting to know more about the mysterious videotapes that popped up in Episode 4.

In a season that is filled with twists and turns at almost every plot point, 'Riverdale' has a surprise guest, starring in the upcoming episode, 'Chapter 65: In Treatment'. 'Suits' star Gina Torres makes an appearance as Mrs Burble, a guidance counselor for the teens at Riverdale High. At the moment, there's not much to go on about how her character impacts the plotline this season. 

The CW has released the official promo and synopsis for 'In Treatment'. The synopsis reads: "GINA TORRES GUEST STARS AS RIVERDALE HIGH'S GUIDANCE COUNSELOR -- As residents across Riverdale begin receiving more mysterious videotapes on their doorsteps, the seniors of Riverdale High eagerly await their college decision letters.

"Concerned that the stress may be getting to them, Mrs Burble (guest star Gina Torres), the school's guidance counselor, meets with Betty (Lili Reinhart), Archie (KJ Apa), Veronica (Camila Mendes), Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) and Jughead (Cole Sprouse) to discuss what's plaguing them. Madchen Amick, Mark Consuelos, Casey Cott, Skeet Ulrich and Vanessa Morgan also star. Michael Goi directed the episode written by Tessa Leigh Williams."

The videotapes were shown in Episode 4 as they showed up on the doorsteps of the residents. It looks like we'll finally be getting to know more about them in the upcoming chapter. 'Riverdale' is known for its unpredictability factor and it remains to be seen whether Torres' Burble is a friend or foe. Last we saw, she was absolutely nailing it as the Mayor's fixer in the 'Suits' spin-off, 'Pearson'.

The promo shows the teens bringing out their fears to Mrs Burble and it is still a question mark if she could be trusted with all the information. Guess we'll know more when 'Riverdale' Season 4 Chapter 65: In Treatment' hits screens on December 4.
