The latest episode of the show sees what happens after Archie, KJ Apa's character and Betty, played by Lili Reinhart receive a call informing them that there is a bomb under the former's bed. It is discovered that the bomb was planted by Hiram Lodge, Veronica's (portrayed by Camilla Mendes) father, who maintained a prolonged vendetta against Archie for the longest time. The new episode of the show revealed that Betty and Archie survive the bomb and even develop superpowers after the experience. Viewers then see Veronica putting a hit on her dad, but later has a change of heart. She tried to stop her dad from getting attacked, but the show portrays that she is too late.

However, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the executive producer and showrunner had a conversation about the future of the character in the show with TVLine and made some interesting revelations. He hinted that Hiram Lodge may not be dead after all and mentioned that even if he is, it does not mean that his story must come to an end. He said to TVLine, via ScreenRant-

"Just because he’s dead doesn’t mean their story is over. Not by a long shot. But it does veer off in very interesting ways. I believe he’s about as dead as they get in Riverdale.”
