“The Blossom family move forward with Jason’s funeral, and a secret agenda; Hermonie seeks Fred’s help; Betty dives deeper into Jason’s death.”
Veronica’s different than a lot of people. She’s hot, smart, friendly. She has all the characteristics to be one of the it girls at school, if they even have it, yet she choose not to be.
I loved the way that Veronica cared for Cheryl. In her darkest time, she was there. The panic attack, the memorial, those were hard times. We all put on a face and pretend like everything is ok when really, its not. We are hurting and you know what, sometimes we need someone to talk to. So I loved that Veronica was there for Cheryl.
Cheryl’s mom, is probably the worst type of mother that someone can become. How dare you tell your daughter that she cannot give the eulogy at her twin brother’s memorial. Like seriously. Lets take it a step further, the fact the she was beyond pissed and wants to now send Cheryl to boarding school, all because Cheryl wore the white dress and gave the eulogy. Come on. And too think that she was close to pulling her out from in front of everyone. Thanks to Veronica, who said it would only make things worse, that stopped her. I swear the Blossoms are only there for appearances. I get that you have money and are powerful, but it doesn’t give you the right to act the way that you did.
I won’t pretend that I was surprised when Cheryl showed up in front of everyone with the white dress. Especially considering just moments before we saw her in a black dress, unsure and unhappy. She looked beautiful honouring her brother. I really hope that her mother does not send her to boarding school, and that she at least fights, because she deserves to do that much.
I just need to mention that her grandmother, is really creepy. I felt sorry for Betty. I would be terrified in that situation. For her to be holding your hand, thinking that you’re Polly. Then again, I do not blame her because Betty and Archie together would look like Polly and Jason. A blonde and a redhead. You cannot expect a nearsighted elderly woman who might not be able to tell the difference, to be able to tell the difference. Just looking at her is already creeping me out. Imagine thinking you’re the only ones in the room, even though its not your house, and boom there is an old lady sitting creepily in a corner. Like no way. That would freak me the eff out.
The more and more that I watch these episodes, I realize that Archie and Jason do look alike. Think about it. Is there something that we don’t know yet. Are they related? What about Archies mom, does she have anything to do with it? They’re both red heads; Archie and Jason. It just can’t be a coincidence can it.
Archie is a really sweet guy. You would think that for someone who was all set on football in the beginning of the episode, would rather Reggie be Captain. Like come on. I thought you wanted a scholarship. It just shows that people are not who you really think they are, and we have to get used to that. Right?
Archie’s dad, Fred seems to be a really sweet individual. Obviously it was sad when Hermione said that the movie was not a date. Poor guy thought it was. I thought it was too. When she called him about the snake, it was sweet for him to come when he did not have to. A message brought to you by the South Side Serpents. Don’t mess with snakes I guess. And it was the nicest thing for him to give her the bookkeeping job, even after he said it was not a good idea to have the wife of an individual who was on trial for fraud do it. I guess he changed his mind after all, when he realized that Hermione is not like her husband.
This episode made me realize how effed up Betty’s family actually is. Her parents are hiding something when it comes to Polly. Does it have anything to do with Jason’s murder? I know that her mom was glad that Jason was missing at first. And why would Betty’s dad steal the files from the Sheriff? They’re hiding something, and protecting something as well.
< PS. I could be wrong. So let me know what you think >
