We still can’t get over the fact that our first-ever imaginary boyfriend, Luke Perry, sadly passed away earlier this week. However, yesterday’s episode of Riverdale included a cameo by the late actor, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
Last night, the popular series returned to The CW after a weeklong hiatus, and while we wish the episode featured more than a two-minute appearance, we can’t deny that it showed Perry doing what he does best: being a hero.
Here’s what you need to know: In Chapter Forty-Nine of Riverdale, titled “Fire Walk with Me,” Archie (KJ Apa) befriends an orphan named Ricky. When he learns that he’s living in a cubby à la Harry Potter, Archie brings him home and lets him live in the garage. He takes him under his wing, teaches him how to box and even gives him his letterman jacket from Riverdale High.
When Archie receives a call from a social worker, he learns that Ricky’s real name is Ricardo De Santos—as in, Joaquin’s (Rob Raco) brother.
