Riverdale Season 7 Episode 17 Recap

Josie wows the audience with a seductive spoken-word performance while being backed by Fangs on bongo drums at the Dark Room’s open mic night when Veronica brings her there. Soon later, Clay extends an enthusiastic invitation to Josie to attend a meeting of the school’s Black Athena literary organization. Because of this, Josie decides to transform the test screening into a lavish red-carpet premiere.

But once the company wanted to hire someone else, she tells Veronica that she paid for the entire film on her own dime. Josie manages to keep the crowd entertained with a live performance despite a nearly disastrous incident during the premiere when the film reels were handled improperly. The film is a tremendous smash, and a bitter reviewer has been gushing over Josie in the media. Josie thanks Veronica for her help and advises her to think about pursuing a career in Hollywood filmmaking.

At Riverdale High, Veronica and Jughead make their public debut as a couple, garnering a lot of attention. Jughead draws sketches of a young witch after being inspired by Veronica’s witch outfit. However, the comic book executives reject it when he transforms the character from Veronica to Sabrina, citing their dislike of witches. Despite this, Jughead and Veronica remain close, and she even gives him a lovely suit for the film premiere.

In other plots, Reggie’s visit to a brothel inspires Archie (KJ Apa) to write poetry with a newfound maturity, but his amorous advances on Miss Grundy are turned down. During a bathtub session, Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch)  gives Betty (Lili Reinhart) a racy magazine article, which helps her learn to love herself. In addition, Betty starts penning a memoir on her adolescent years, with Cheryl providing the cover art. Uncle Frank criticizes Archie for trying to create a poem on his late father and feels that he is taking advantage of Fred’s memories.
