Remember the show never addressing Betty’s dangerous tap dance into sex work? This whole sex tape scenario could have given that two year old storyline some closure. Bret discovers Betty has a cam girl footprint online, further uses that to black mail her and Jughead. It ties in

What also ties in is that Charles is in contact with Chic. Big brother uses this information to threaten Chic with charging him with a sex crime for encouraging a minor into sex work, Chic realises that Charles was playing him when he said he would seek revenge on the family, and

Chic remains behind bars and can no longer hurt the family. Charles got rid of the evidence of shady man, Chic has no other ammunition for hurting the family, and his boyfriend was playing him this whole time. He’s punished for his crimes, even the ones he’s not imprisoned for.

Alice and Betty have a real and mature discussion about sexuality, and not one where Alice freaks out about her daughter being an adult, but one about consent, and predators, and how she is lucky to have a partner in Jughead who isn’t exploiting her trust

or using sex as a weapon, and how Alice actually thinks it was responsible to be on birth control even if at the time she found out she was emotional and somewhat irrational in her reaction.

They come to the conclusion that as long as Betty is safe and happy, that’s all that matters. And all is good in the world. The end.
