Riverdale: 10 Burning Questions That Must Be Answered In Season 2
5. Will Jughead Join The Serpents?
Impressed by his father, FP, not being a snitch, the Serpents show their appreciation by making Jughead an honorable member of their gang. They offer their help and guidance whenever needed, under the condition that the boy puts on their jacket.
Betty is obviously afraid, as she doesn't want her boyfriend to take the wrong path in life. It's scary enough that Jughead handles his transfer to Southside High - a school which doesn't have the best of reputations - with such ease. He's no longer an outcast; the school is actually where he belongs, since he immediately finds new friends.
It's therefore possible that Jughead will belong with the Serpents as well. He's a very loyal yet troubled individual, which might make him respond especially warmly to the fact that Serpents are so willing to accept him as one of their own.
Even though he puts on the jacket, time will tell if he decides to keep it.
