Archie decides to bring The Red Paladin quest to a head by seeking out the remaining players with Hiram's quest cards. Jughead adds an addendum to the quest that will force them all to take their shots during a twelve-hour period or give up. The Joneses navigate a move to the Northside when Gladys unexpectedly buys the Cooper home, and as FP's 50th birthday approaches, his family celebrates and he reflects on his life. Jughead is tipped off about Gladys and does some digging. Reggie surprises Veronica with a risky request that may mean the end of their personal and professional relationship. Cheryl and Toni's power struggle comes to a hot and heavy head.

This was a great episode, mostly intended to shift pieces to where they need to be. Lots of the remaining mini-plots came to a head, which means we're probably going to get something more focused on the main two plots (The Farm, G&G) after the musical episode. The speech that Jughead gave for FP was beautiful and I loved his final line of the episode to Betty.

This episode started when every character was in a place of secrecy and uncertainty and ended in a really great place that puts them exactly where they need to be for the final arc.
