This Week's 'Riverdale' Answers a Few Questions
by EG
Last week's episode ended with a cliffhanger of sorts, and this week's episode resolved it. However, it also introduced a few questions of its own. Read on for Us Weekly's recap of "The Watcher in the Woods," but be careful of spoilers if you haven't yet caught up on the series.

Things were much calmer in the Wednesday, October 25, episode of Riverdale, but there were still some big revelations. Read our recap to find out what Archie and his friends were up to in “Chapter Sixteen: The Watcher in the Woods.”
The Red Circle
This episode picked up at the exact moment last week’s ended. Kevin (Casey Cott), who was in the woods for reasons we’ll get into later, heard gunshots and ran to see what was going on. Moose and Midge both survived the attack by the masked gunman. Moose was in worse shape than Midge because he shielded her, but the limited amount of time the episode spent on these two probably means they’ll be just fine.
When Archie (KJ Apa) heard about the killer’s latest assault, he decided it was time to take action. After all, the police hadn’t solved Jason Blossom’s murder; he and his friends had. So, once again, Archiekins took the law into his own hands by forming a watch group made up of young men at Riverdale High who would protect the school’s students, families and friends. Archie called the group “The Red Circle,” inspired by a comic book of the same name.
Archie insisted that The Red Circle abstain from using violence or weapons, but he changed his mind when he and Reggie were out on patrol. They received a call from Ethel, who said a mysterious van had circled back to follow her on her (dark) walk home (alone). After Veronica’s dad (Mark Consuelos) encouraged him to strike back at the masked man with the same fear tactics he’d been employing, Archie and The Red Circle made a video threatening to find and end the killer. (Side note: Hiram seemed much too happy that Archie took his advice, didn’t he?)
