"Chapter Seventy-Four: Wicked Little Town" is the seventeenth episode of the fourth season of the American television series Riverdale and the seventy-fourth episode of the series overall.[1] The episode was written by Tessa Leigh Williams, directed by Antonio Negret and choreographed by Heather Laura Gray. It centered around the stage musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch by Stephen Trask.
It aired on The CW on April 15, 2020. Originally, the episode was scheduled for April 8, 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] According to Nielsen Media Research, it was watched by 0.54 million viewers.
Residents of Riverdale receive more videotapes of their houses. The school's Variety Show is coming up. Kevin wants to sing a song from the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch, but Principal Honey believes the show to be too inappropriate. Archie signs up himself, Jughead, Betty, and Veronica to play as a band, "The Archies." Archie sees Hiram struggle lifting weights at the gym because of his disease, but he brushes off Archie's concerns.
Betty tutors Jughead to get him caught up in his classes so he can graduate at the same time, but he is not taking it seriously and instead investigates the videotapes while she thinks he is studying. Cheryl and Toni devise a plan to try to get Honey to accept the show by having everyone perform songs from Hedwig, but in response he threatens to ban students from Senior Prom. As a peaceful protest, all of the students show up to school dressed up as the character Hedwig. Honey cancels the Variety Show entirely instead of conceding.
Hiram collapses and Archie goes to meet Veronica. He reveals that he suspected Hiram wasn't going to the doctor enough, and Veronica gets angry with him for not telling her or making Hiram go himself. Meanwhile, Betty finds out that Jughead has been watching the videotapes rather than doing homework, and they have a fight. She shows up at rehearsal alone, and Archie and Betty end up kissing.
Later, Veronica and Jughead apologize for their blowups, as Betty and Archie look at each other nervously from their windows. Veronica hosts the Variety Show at Le Bonne Nuit and the Archies perform there.
Watching the tapes, Jughead sees a person tied up wearing a Jughead face mask who is brutally murdered by another person in a Betty face mask.
