He does eventually get his tape back, in the worst way possible: The clip of Fangs and Midge leaks to the Register website, and suddenly, it’s everywhere. (He didn’t kill her, though! Really, he didn’t!) Unfortunately, Jughead has already submitted his behind-the-scenes footage to the sheriff’s office, which includes a shot of Fangs loitering in Midge’s dressing room. It’s a decidedly bad look, especially given that Lodge puppet Sheriff Minetta would no doubt salivate over the prospect of arresting a Serpent for this high-profile murder. Later, Fangs tells Jughead that it was he who’d been hooking up with Midge ( very here for that, but also, RIP Midge), a fact he neglected to mention to Sheriff Keller. Seems like they’ve already got a war brewing on the home front. Led by Reggie (who seems inappropriately angry about this revelation, given that it does not directly involve him, I’m just saying), the jocks crash a meeting of the Swords and Serpents Club, where Jughead was just telling his pals that the Ghoulies, fresh out of Shankshaw, want war. (He didn’t kill her, though! Really, he didn’t!) All he knows is that the mystery man is a Serpent. Moose admits he had a fight with Midge backstage before Carrie, because she told him she’d been secretly seeing someone else. It takes about three minutes for the first meeting of the rebooted Dark Circle - who soon circulate flyers printed with a phone number and what looks uncannily like one of the inky alien logograms from Arrival - to get unrest-y. He’s hoping the Dark Circle causes “unrest,” thereby leading voters to wonder whether Fred can govern even his own son. Of course, with the mayoral debate coming up, Hiram has an election-sized ulterior motive here.
Hiram suggests Archie reform the Dark Circle instead, especially now that he’s installed his good pal Michael Minetta as sheriff. He’s trying to spot the Black Hood among his neighbors. Hiram is flustered to hear Archie has been campaigning door to door for his father, though our Fisher-Price Mafioso insists his real motive is … “to stare into men’s eyes?” Hiram asks, staring into Archie’s eyes.
