If Hal/Black Hood had an inside man staying with the Coopers, he’d know everything happening there in his absence. I believe that the Hood was indeed inspired by Betty’s talk in front of the town during the first season finale, and this combined with his knowledge of Riverdale’s original sin of killing an innocent man (an unresolved plot point that the writers of this show are too smart to leave dangling out there) could easily kickstart the masked man’s mission to bring biblical justice to town.Ĭhic probably has something to do with all of this as well, because somehow the Hood knew about the Shady Man’s death in the Cooper kitchen. And for that they would need a mastermind, and that’s where Hal comes in. Think about it, there could be several Hoods, all bound together for the common goal of bringing “order” to Riverdale. The question that should be asked at this point then is just how many Black Hoods are there, are what are their ultimate goal? At the midseason finale, Svenson was revealed to be the Hood… something that has been pushed aside recently but could still be true. Yes friends, all of this season’s plots are rapidly becoming tied in to the Black Hood and his plans to punish sinners and cleanse the town. Meanwhile, Veronica is now fully on the side of Team Fred, and with Hermione left shaken by the chaos at the debate maybe she will finally truly see how dangerous her husband is in the remaining two episodes this season.
By the time the episode ends, Archie has finally realised how devious Hiram is and blown him off (hopefully for good).
So maybe the Black Hood’s attack actually helped Fred in the long run. The town’s debate was always going to be bloodbath for Fred, with Hermione’s using Archie’s formation of the Black Circle vigilante group as her secret weapon to prove that the elder Andrews can’t control his son, so there’s no way he can keep Riverdale safe. That’s the driving question behind this entire second season of Riverdale, and it’s one that most viewers - this writer included - have dismissed with a simple ‘duh, it’s Betty’s dad.’ And while Hal Cooper is doubtlessly and deeply involved in the Hood’s murderous antics, tonight’s events have illustrated that there is likely more than one Hood terrorising the town.
