‘Riverdale’ Season 5 is back with the latest episode and fans are really confused with everything that’s happening on the show. So, a lot of storylines have been mixed together to carry forward the show and it is making everyone crazy.

However, one plotline that’s making everyone go wild is the disappearance of Jughead (Cole Sprouse). Now, he has disappeared literally and we get to see him in several scenes, but no one knows where he is. He has left his place and is wandering on the streets to find something or someone. But, trouble follows him everywhere.

He gets beaten up by the bad guys and is forced to take refuge in a makeshift tent. Fortunately, he meets a guy who saved him years ago and his name is Doc. Meanwhile, they brought back a lot of characters from the previous season for another run. Like Darla and Dodgers Dickinson are out of prison and they rob Veronica’s (Camila Mendes) store.

Veronica is trying to get her hands on a shiny thing called “opal” when it gets stolen and works with Archie (KJ Apa) to get it back. Meanwhile, Betty (Lili Reinhart) and Tabitha (Erinn Westbrook) are drugged by Jessica (Phoebe Miu) for getting Jughead’s manuscript.

Fans were really annoyed to see that the show is moving too fast and the hiatus has made the show even more bewildering. One of the fans wrote, “I live for #Riverdale. I mean this show is genuinely really really bad. It’s so ridiculous how it's still on air cause’ it makes no sense.” Another fan shared, “@CW_Riverdale can y’all please pick wtf YALL want this show to be cause’ 50% of us confused.”

“Idk I feel like ppl who watch Riverdale need to get paid cause. We are just so loyal to this show that has been AWFUL for at least a full three seasons now,” another user noted. “This entire episode has been weird. Maybe because it’s been off for so long but I've legit forgotten most of what happened at the beginning of this season,” wrote another one.

Meanwhile, another fan noted, “Does anyone actually know what’s happening on #Riverdale, or are we all just as confused?” Another fan wrote, “I won't be watching today's episode of #Riverdale. Apparently, the plot will be lousy and I'm not interested in disappointing you again. I will be attentive to the spoilers that have to give. Although I don't think they are interesting. Zero expectations for the rest of the season as well.”

“That’s Riverdale for you. No plotlines that make sense,” another fan added. “I am just gonna say it because idc anymore but this premiere was so underwhelming,” another fan shared.



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 

The episode ended with Jughead leaving Doc and sending a voicemail to Tabitha. In the end, he says that he is heading to New York to find some answers and has asked a random truck driver to take him there. Will Jughead reach New York or something diabolical will happen to him? We would have to wait for that.

‘Riverdale’ Season 5 returns with a new episode on The CW every Wednesday at 8 pm EST.
