While many viewers are feeling emotional in the wake of the "Riverdale" finale, others are divided over one revelation. During the episode, we learn that Archie, Veronica, Jughead, and Betty spent their final year of high school in a four-sided polyamorous relationship and even considered letting Reggie (Charles Melton) get in on the action. This story development has polarized the fan base and given them something to talk about around the water cooler.
Some viewers, such as Twitter user u/biceptor, argued that the storyline doesn't make any sense. "This riverdale series finale is so stupid cause wdym betty cooper is in a quad where she is dating archie, jughead, and veronica." Elsewhere, @barchiesorigin said that it's one of the dumbest storylines to ever happen on "Riverdale."
However, @beforekermit thinks fans who are unhappy about this revelation should lighten up. "[Riverdale] fans hating on the archie/veronica/betty/jughead quad relationship y'all are so boring I'm sorry." Meanwhile, @TheGhostHost stated that the quad storyline might be the best moment in the show's history, writing, "And if I said making them a quad was the ONE good thing Riverdale did?"
For the most part, though, "Riverdale" fans just chalked it up as another bewildering surprise in a show that's always set out to shock, entertain, and dazzle viewers. "The way Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead being in a quad relationship for a year isn't even the most wild thing that happened on this show," @giselleb1234 wrote.
