'Riverdale' Season 4: The Lodge family is getting back together and that's bad news for Veronica and Archie

Mark Consuelos’ Hiram Lodge has been the series’ Mr. Sinister and ‘Hereditary’ shows him make his way back to the throne

This article contains spoilers for ‘Riverdale’ season 4 Episode 6: ‘Hereditary’

Mark Consuelos’ Hiram Lodge has been the series’ Mr. Sinister and ‘Hereditary’ shows him climb back to this throne, with his other daughter, Hermosa (Mishel Prada) by his side. Now all he needs is one more person who will be by his side, and in what comes across as a shocker, it’s none other than his wife, Hermoine (Marisol Nichols). 

Call this as a scene straight out of an adult erotic thriller. Hiram shows up, strips off his shirt and manages to convince Hermoine that all that they did was their way of loving each other. Where normal people scheme, it seems the Lodges order hits on each other. Not exactly a moment that one expected on the show, but this one’s pretty unforgettable. First its Falice who get some kiss time on screen and now this. It simply seems that H and H are pretty horny for each other. 

Well, Veronica for one is thoroughly not impressed and happy about it either, not after she hears from Hermosa that her parents are renewing their vows. Confrontation proves futile as Hermoine gives out a vague explanation and that’s that. For now, Hiram is back and maybe this is a way of him moving on to the next phase of his plan which he announces in the last episode-- becoming the Mayor of Riverdale. Looks like that plan is pretty close to becoming reality. 

Also to be looked at is the whole rum business thing that Hiram explains. This also implies that Hermosa is here to stay and she'll be running the business for awhile. In fact, that’s the last thing anyone should be worried about. If there are two people in his crosshairs right now, it’s Archie and Ronnie. Especially the latter and her speakeasy, La Bonne Nuit. 

Better watch out, girl. 

‘Riverdale’ season 4 airs Wednesdays 8 pm on The CW.
