The musical episode, however, does not air until April 18. In the meantime, fans can look forward to the upcoming episode, titled "The Wicked and the Divine." As previously reported, the new episode will see Archie getting too close to the Lodge family, which will cause Veronica to worry that he may find out about their secret business dealings. But, that will not stop Archie from trying to worm his way into Hiram's (Mark Consuelos) inner circle.
Elsewhere, Jughead and FP (Skeet Ulrich) will work to keep the peace among the Serpents after the tense situation at Pickens Park, while Chic (Hart Denton) will help Betty deal with her inner darkness. The teaser trailer released for the episode previews Betty donning a dark wig and dressed scantily in front of her laptop.
"Riverdale" season 2 airs Wednesdays, at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.
