‘Riverdale’ Finale Reveals Four-Way Relationship: Who Ended Up With Who?

Betty published a best-seller titled “The Teenage Mystique,” and ran an advice column, “Betty’s Diary.” She moved to New York City and worked as a freelancer before launching “She Says,” a successful women’s magazine. She never married, but adopted a daughter, Carla, and later became a grandmother to Alice. She died while in the backseat of her granddaughter’s car, while they drove back through Riverdale.

Jughead founded “Jughead’s Madhouse Magazine,” a satirical magazine for which he served as the editor-in-chief. He was never married, and he died at 84 after a successful life.

Archie, the poet, became a professional construction worker living in California. He settled down in Modesto and lived a happy life with his wife and family. When he died, he was buried in Riverdale next to his father.

Veronica moved to Los Angeles after calling up her “good friend Peter Roth” — the former Warner Bros. Television CEO who makes a cameo in the episode — and worked her way from an assistant at a production company to head of the studio. She won two Oscars during her run, and after her death, was buried in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Toni (Vanessa Morgan) and Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) stayed together and moved to California, continuing their lives as artists and activists. They had a son named Dale — after the town — and Cheryl became a very successful painter. They both lived long lives before dying peacefully. Cheryl’s brother, Julian (Nicholas Barasch), enlisted after graduating high school and died in Vietnam at 28.

The couple moved to Harlem, New York. Clay (Karl Walcott) became a professor at Columbia while Kevin (Casey Cott) started an Off-Broadway theater company. Kevin died in his sleep at 82, and Clay passed away a few weeks later.

Reggie (Charles Melton) played basketball for Kansas State before being drafted by the Lakers. During the off season, he worked at his family farm; when they died, he moved back to Riverdale, and became the Riverdale High basketball coach. He got married and had two sons, who now run the used car dealership in town.

Tom Keller (Martin Cummins) and Frank Andrews (Ryan Robbins) were murdered by Chic, who Jughead referred to as “a hustler they picked up one rainy night.” As longtime viewers may recall, Chic was introduced in Season 2 as the man pretending to be Betty’s long-lost brother.
