In the final episode before Riverdale went on a mini-break, entitled The Locked Room, Jughead, who had been pretending to be dead by living in the secret underground bunker for the past few
weeks, and Betty gathered the Stonewall Prep students as well as teacher Francis Dupont (Malcolm Stuart). They explained how the students were challenged to commit the perfect murder by
killing off Jughead so they could win the next contract to be the ghost writers of the Baxter Brothers books. This is a tradition which had been going on for years with the franchise's
writers, including Mr Chipping (Sam Witwer) who, out of guilt, threw himself out of a window. Mr DuPont was also the one responsible for killing the Stonewall Four, trying to get rid of
anyone who knew he had stolen the original idea of the book from Jughead's grandfather Forsythe Pendleton I (Timothy Webber). But unwilling to go to prison, DuPont followed Mr
Chipping's and jumped out of the same window.
