3. Is Mr. Honey actually dead?

The season 4 finale of Riverdale was aptly titled, “Chapter Seventy Six: Killing Mr. Honey”, as it revolved around a fictional story in which the gang killed their seemingly horrid principal. In real life, however, they succeeded in getting him removed from power. However, a smug Honey revealed that he quickly got a new job at Stonewall Prep and left – but not before it was revealed that he had actually written Jughead a lovely letter of approval for college.

Things took a much darker turn before the episode concluded as a new video from the mysterious Videotape Stalker showcased what appeared to be Mr. Honey being brutally killed by a gang of fiends wearing masks designed to look like the comic book versions of our beloved Riverdale characters.

The video was clearly playing out the story that Jughead had written in real life, but the question is: Was it actually real Riverdale life? Is Holden Honey really dead or is this just another trick from the heinous Videotape Stalker?

2. Who is the Voyeur?

The question that has been on everyone’s lips for so long; just who is the mysterious stalker that has been sending Riverdale’s residents endless hours of videotape in the hopes to spook them?

Riverdale season 4 was all about videotape. Stonewall Prep’s Bret used the vintage format to blackmail his classmates as he filmed some of their most intimate moments and kept them in a cabinet so that they could be used as leverage. That – and the fact that he’s a horrible person – made him a prime suspect for the Videotape Stalker/Voyeur, but alas, it seems like he is not the one responsible for the Riverdale mind games.

Is this part of Charles and Chic’s plans? Has Hiram Lodge been playing everyone again? Is Penelope Blossom attempting to blackmail her way back into town? Who knows, really.

One thing is certain, though: The Scooby Gang of Betty, Jughead, Veronica and Archie will undoubtedly take them down in the few remaining season 4 episodes.
