Riverdale is getting a new employee at Pop’s and we’re a bit confused

We left our favorite residents of Riverdale with some unsolved questions but does this new employee of Pop’s Diner really make sense?

Riverdale is coming back soon, and now FP works for Pop? In a new picture from the set, posted by Archie Comics’ official Twitter account, we see Jughead and FP standing together, smiling, outside of Pop’s Diner and FP is wearing a cook’s outfit. While that seems like not that big of a deal, let’s think about where we last left off with Jughead and FP.

In case you forgot, FP was in jail because they believed he murdered Jason Blossom. That is, until, it was revealed that Jason’s own father killed him. Still the police were trying to keep FP in jail for other charges. He could still face a heavy sentence.

Meanwhile, Jughead was welcomed into the Serpents while Betty watched from inside the trailer. He did have to change schools since he couldn’t stay with Archie and his dad anymore, and so Betty was worrying.

Now, with the introduction of this picture, we have to wonder what’s going on:

So does this mean that FP is free and he’s happy being Jughead’s dad? Or is this some weird dream sequence that has Jughead longing for his family to be reunited once more? Honestly, I hope it isn’t just a dream because that is extremely depressing if so.

Throughout most of season 1, we saw Jughead struggle to find a place to belong because of his lack of understanding and compassion from his own family. So is season 2 going to go down the same road? If so, get your tissue boxes ready because it is going to be a tearjerker.
