Ups...

3. Picking Up Where It Left Off

In somewhat of a refreshing twist, 'Jawbreaker' wasted no time picking right up where the previous episode, 'The Raid', had left off, as F.P. and Jughead were surveying the crime scene where Baby Teeth had been killed while Betty was still in the midst of discussing The Farm with Edgar Evernever.

Too often The CW shows tend to skip the fallout of major events and just jump straight to what the writers deem worthy of progressing the narrative which can, at times, strip both the sentiment and the stakes away from whatever the event was.

By picking right back up, Riverdale not only reinforced the importance of its cliffhanger, it gave us a chance to see how the characters coped in the immediate aftermath of Baby Teeth's death which, at the very least, set the episode up really well.
