Contains spoilers from Riverdale Season 3, Episode 18.

Returning to screens following a brief hiatus, 'Jawbreaker' dealt with Betty's desperate attempts to rescue her mother from Edgar Evernever's institution.

Meanwhile, Jughead and F.P. were called upon to solve the disturbing death of Baby Teeth, only to get dragged into a mystery involving the town's increasing drug activity, and Archie Andrews found himself back in the ring to take on a former enemy - unaware that the answers Jughead was looking for were right in front of him.
