Why? The only solid explanation is that they’re related. Not only has The Black Hood chosen an innocent teenager as his inspiration, but he involves her in his killings as well. The most incriminating indication of all though is the strange connection The Black Hood has for Betty. Hal clearly has no alibi for any of the crimes committed by The Black Hood and he never even explained to Betty why he’s still staying at a Bed & Breakfast when he already came back home. Though Hal has a somewhat solid explanation for the third proof, confessing that he bought it as a present for Betty’s birthday, it could have still easily been a lie. Moreover, as the episode progresses, Betty and Cheryl uncover a lot of convicting evidence that points to Hal – his logbook, the sketchy B&B he’s still saying at, and owning the Nancy Drew book The Black Hood based one of his plans on. It makes sense: the built, the age, and the strong connection to Betty. We do get a possible step towards a likely suspect as Betty and Cheryl investigate Hal Cooper of being The Black Hood. And Hiram Lodge is infuriating as he is evil. But with two episodes left before the revelation, we are still left with no closer hint as to who the serial murderer is. The CW hit has had its highs and lows with this season’s plotline, circling around the mystery surrounding The Black Hood and Hiram Lodge’s role. “Shadow of a Doubt” is an appropriate name for last night’s Riverdale episode – if we want to be honest and say that there’s not a shadow of doubt that Chapter Thirty-Three of the show is a muddle of chaos.
