Riverdale: 10 Burning Questions That Must Be Answered In Season 2
8. Where's Betty's Brother?
One of the Coopers' biggest family secrets is that Alice and Hal had a baby while both were still in high school. They had a big argument at their prom about how to handle Alice's pregnancy: Betty's mother refused to have an abortion, but she gave the baby up for adoption.
Betty learns about it 20-plus years later, as the child - a boy - is now a grown man.
Revealing this secret would definitely spoil the picture-perfect image that the Coopers want to project on the outside. The question is: what if anybody else finds out? Betty entrusted her friends with the information, but will it be safe with them? What if they share it with somebody?
Or... what if the man is curious about his biological parents and decides to come to Riverdale to meet the Coopers?
