The CW has released the first photos from the second episode of Riverdale, their upcoming Archie-comics inspired series. Check them out in the gallery below! Titled “Chapter Two: A Touch of Evil,” the episode is set to air February 2 and is officially described as follows:
“As new details of Jason’s death begin to emerge, Archie pleads with Miss Grundy (guest star Sarah Habel) to come forward with what they heard at Sweetwater River. Betty makes an effort to mend her friendship with Archie but takes a different stance with Veronica, who is trying to make up for her actions. With rumors around her brother’s death running rampant, Cheryl deals with the pressure in true Queen Bee fashion, while tensions boil over when Jughead stumbles upon a secret Archie was hoping to keep hidden. Finally, plans for the annual fall pep rally move forward with a performance by Josie and the Pussycats and a special appearance by Mayor McCoy (guest star Robin Givens).”
