Spoilers for 'Riverdale' Season 5 Episode 2 

The CW's 'Riverdale' is set to feature new cast members and a seven-year time jump in its new Season 5 and while the season premiered on January 20, 2021, the second episode of the season is titled 'The Preppy Muders' which is quite intriguing. When we see Preppy, of course, we think of the Stonewall Prep students aka the Stonies. While the trailer for the season already showed us the return of Bret Weston Wallis, Episode 2 will take a deep dive into that scenario and we can't wait.

What did Bret mean when he said that something is about to hit Betty Cooper (Lili Reihart) and Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse), and they won't see it coming? We have to wait and watch. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming episode.
