Sunday night, Riverdale came back from break with a bang. Season 6’s sixth episode dove into the post-Rivervale arc and explained what actually happened during the explosion that went off.

The explosion has a ton of ramifications for everyone and it seems like the show may finally introduce some sort of supernatural element. Betty (Lilli Reinhart) can visualize people’s auras and Archie (KJ Apa) has…super strength? Jughead (Cole Sprouse) seems to have suffered a good amount of hearing loss and the presumed culprit, Hiram (Mark Consuelos), has a hit placed on him by Veronica (Camila Mendes).

In summation, it is a lot!

Shadow and Act sat down with creator and showrunner Roberto Aguirre Sacasa at length to talk about the show’s return, this latest episode, where many of the characters stand, Kangs (Casey Cott and Drew Ray Tanner) and Toni (Vanessa Morgan) and if the show has finally gone supernatural.
