'The Stranger' is the Next Installment of Riverdale Season 3. This episode deals with Archie and his time back to Riverdale, after what happened in the ending of previous episode. The Acting wasn't a serious improvement from the previous episode but it was okay at best. The story wasn't that strong unlike some other episodes from this season. There are some plot holes in the story which, I feel should be filled, especially the ones with Archie. I really liked how they answered an ancient question; "Why aren't they studying for the SATs?". The story was divided into different parts around each of the main characters; Archie and His Mess, Jughead and The Serpents, Betty and an old Enemy turned Ally and her Mom and Veronica, who really didn't have a real purpose of being there except for the unnecessary Love Triangle, which was just a waste. The tone felt all over the place. There weren't the Character Development which was needed. The Direction, Production and everything else was well done but the Writing was just a Mess. The Ending was lackluster and left something to desire.
So Overall Its a Solid 7 and I hope it starts to improve and start showing it's True Potential .
