Riverdale Sneak Peek: Is One of the Parents the Gargoyle King?

We have another murder investigation on Riverdale, it's just kind of a secret! Betty (Lili Reinhart) hoped learning about the Midnight Club's past experience with Gryphons and Gargoyles would give her some answers, but apparently Alice's (Madchen Amick) story only led to more questions -- and some of them are terrifying. Is one of the Midnight Club members actually a murderer?

In this week's episode, Betty is widening the investigation into the Gargoyle King by inviting her friends Josie (Ashleigh Murray), Kevin (Casey Cott) and Reggie (Charles Melton) to help her find out what really happened on their parents' ascension night. Betty reveals her theory in TV Guide's exclusive clip that whoever was controlling the game back in the '90s is the one controlling it now, and therefore they are responsible for the two teen suicides that have happened so far. Of course, Betty conveniently doesn't mention that the parents had a dead body of their own to contend with when they were playing the game.

If one of the parents is the Gargoyle King, then that means they not only led Milton and Ben to their deaths, but they are also responsible for the death of Principal Featherhead (Anthony Michael Hall). And honestly, does more than one teen need a killer parent on this show?

Before we get to that, can Betty's friends actually interrogate their parents without giving away that someone outside of the Midnight Club knows about Featherhead? Make sure to return to TV Guide after the episode to see what Cott has to say about the investigation.

Riverdale airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
