With all the limelight on ‘Barbieheimer’ for its massive opening weekend, let’s for a moment, focus on small screen, and talk about our favorite cocktail of romantic comedy, Riverdale!
After the Miss Riverdale conundrum this week, the focus will shift to the boys in episode 16 as Julian gets hold of a ‘stag film’ and invites the other guys for a watch party.
Without further ado, let’s get our thinking caps on and try to predict what happens next week!
1. Season 7, Episode 16 Synopsis/Speculation
Watch the official teaser of episode 16 before diving into the predictions:
Next week, Julian invites Archie and the guys over for a watch party because he has a ‘stag film.’ The skeptical me gets a little intrigued by the premise as Julian is the son of Hiram Lodge and Archie’s nemesis.
What is in the video? And what is Julian’s motive for hosting the meeting? Something’s definitely fishy!
One possibility is that the film is not just any stag film but one that features someone from their group.
Could it be Betty? We all know that her abusive husband, Glen forced her to pose for lewd photos in the previous episode. Or is it Cheryl who has been living a double life as a burlesque dancer?
Whoever it is, I think the video will reveal something very important in the story.
The synopsis also reveals that Peggy, Betty’s grandfather, reunites with Polly in an unexpected turn of events. This is very interesting as we haven’t seen Polly throughout the season as she works for a mysterious agency in New York.
What Brings her here? And what does she have to do with Peggy? Interesting!
Jughead, as usual, is in the mix of everything as he again goes to war with Dr. Werthers for censuring comic books. This sounds like a classic conflict between art and censorship, as Jughead defends his passion and profession against an authority figure who disapproves of it.
Expect heated arguments and interesting revelations as we move into episode 16 of Riverdale!

6. Riverdale Season 7 Episode 15 Recap
This week’s episode is called “Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Two: Miss Teen Riverdale,” and it revolves around the town’s annual beauty pageant. Betty, Veronica, Cheryl, Toni, Ethel, and Evelyn are among the contestants, but all have different motivations and challenges.
The episode is stacked with drama and humor to the brim. For instance, Midge drops out of the contest because she is pregnant, Ethel reveals her crush on Jughead, Evelyn tries to sabotage Ethel’s performance, and Alice clashes with Hal over the pageant’s rules.
The episode’s highlight is Ethel’s stunning performance of “Who Will Love Me As I Am?” from the musical Side Show. She sings passionately and emotionally and impresses everyone with her talent and courage.
She wins the pageant, much to Evelyn’s dismay and Alice’s shock. Betty and Veronica congratulate her and celebrate her victory.
Finally, Cheryl and Toni reveal that they have been working on a secret project that will change everything in Riverdale. What is it? Guess we will have to wait for the next episode to find out!
