'Riverdale' Season 4: What happened to mysterious videotapes? Fans hope there's more of that story in Episode 8

It remains to be seen if these videotapes have anything to do with Charles and Chic's plans to wreak havoc on the small town.

'Ice Storm' was part steamy, part icy, part explosive and part scary. The Thanksgiving special had enough plot points to showcase and fans are now impatient about the videotapes that were introduced in Episode 4 but has seemingly disappeared from the narrative just as soon as it was shown. One of the key plots was supposedly around the videotapes.

However, there has not been so much of a glimpse of these in the last couple of episodes. At the moment, it is safe to speculate that these tapes may contain sensitive content and private stuff about the townsfolk and it is still unclear who is behind this or what their intentions are. 

It also remains to be seen if these videotapes have anything to do with Charles (Wyatt Nash) and Chic's (Harl Denton) plans to wreak havoc on the small town or if the missing Penelope Blossom (Nathalie Boltt) is sitting somewhere and hatching something sinister. 

Ahead of the series, the show released a poster with the phrase "Sex. Lies. Videotapes. "Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Cheryl, Toni, Kevin, and Reggie are all seen in the poster that looks like an old TV screen. While sex and lies have been a part of the series since inception, it was the videotape part that got fans curious. 

Hopefully, the upcoming episode has a storyline concerning the videotapes. For now, the show has given each of the main characters a concrete storyline and has been busy explaining them. 'Chapter 65: In Treatment' just might shed light on these mysterious videotapes and that storyine of the ominous Flash-Forward. Last we saw, the core four were rounded up as potential suspects for killing Jughead. Blimey!

'Riverdale' season 4 airs Wednesdays at 8 pm on The CW.
