Riverdale Series Finale Gives Archie & The Gang A Perfectly Nostalgic Ending

"Goodbye Riverdale" went to work solving the eternal question: How does this foursome shake out? Archie, Betty, and Veronica are the prototypes for all love triangles, and it was an issue that needed to be solved. From the onset, it didn't seem "Riverdale" would make it easy. As Betty pines for the boy next door, she falls quickly for the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. Though she is popular and he is the self-proclaimed weirdo, Betty and Jughead's relationship stands above the rest. Betty's constant communication with her dark side and passion for solving mysteries matches Jughead's, and a phenomenon is born.

But as the seasons progressed, the ties that bind became inextricably entwined with Betty and Archie, Archie and Veronica, Veronica, and Betty, and — strangely — Veronica and Jughead. The amount of relationships between the four seemed never-ending, so it makes perfect sense that they would all be together in one form or another. In the final episode, the audience learns that all four were in a polyamorous relationship during their senior year. The only downside is that we don't see Archie and Jughead together like the others. It was the only way to appease passionate fans who wanted to see their favorite couples end up together — but it was also the most logical. Ultimately, they all love each other equally, and that is the only way "Riverdale" could end on a satisfying note.
