Hey "Riverdale" fans, we're just hours away from the Season 2 premiere of The CW's Archie Comics series, so it's time to grab a Pops hamburger and Choklit shake and brush up on where we left off last summer.
The inaugural season centered around the major twists and turns of the "Who Killed Jason Blossom" mystery. The new season picks up where last year's life-threatening finale left off, answering fans questions about who wants Fred Andrews (Luke Perry) dead, what's the deal with Blossom's heroin ring and how many victims will the "Angel of Death" claim.
So here's what TooFab knows so far about all you favorite returning characters:
Archie Andrews
Archie's (KJ Apa) Season 1 storyline ended in shock and heartbreak after his father, Fred Andrews (Luke Perry), was shot by a man with green eyes under a ski mask. Although Fred's gunshot wound won't be fatal, Apa told TooFab: "Archie feels like he needs to protect his dad for the rest of his life and there's a cool moment there between him and Fred where Fred actually goes, 'No, I'm your father...I'm here to protect you.' So that was a really cool moment between the two of them. But I think after we find out what happened in the diner, there's a cool scene where Archie is actually explaining it to the other three and all the emotions are coming out and he is finally telling his best friends what happened in the diner, which kind of increases the intensity of that moment."
Archie also broke his hand by smashing ice to save Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) from committing suicide. The teen heartthrob also made his relationship with Veronica (Camila Mendes) official.

The end of the first season set up room for Dark Betty (Lili Reinhart) to make an appearance since she is caught in the middle of quite a few scandals.
Through a whirlwind of events, Betty found out that her family is related to the mysteriously evil Blossom family, which makes her pregnant sister Polly (Tiera Skovbye), third cousins from her baby's father who has since been murdered, Jason Blossom. Following the ground breaking news, her mother (Madchen Amick) said her father (Lochlyn Munro) is also angry about Polly's pregnancy because he doesn't believe in teenage parents. She also revealed that he forced her to give away her first child to a convent since he got her knocked up in high school. According to TVLine, her brother will be played by newcomer Hart Denton.
As for her relationship with her boyfriend Jughead (Cole Sprouse), issues may arise as he accepted a jacket (A.K.A. a symbol of loyalty) from the gang his father belongs to called the Southside Serpents.
