Riverdale Theories: Did Betty Kill Jason Blossom?

(Photo: Diyah Pera/The CW. Edit: Me.)

In episode 3 of Riverdale, Body Double, we saw a new side to Betty Cooper. A side that didn't follow the rules, that didn't want to be a good girl anymore. This raised a lot of questions about what Betty is capable of. Did this good girl gone bad kill Jason?

My first thought, inspired by Screen Junkies, was that Polly is actually Betty's twin sister and they have switched places. Perhaps Betty went to see her ill sister and Polly convinced her to switch places or, worse, kidnapped Betty to take her place. This would explain why suddenly Betty wants to change and not follow her own rules, and also why her mother is being overly protective. It would also explain the hot tub scene in which Berry called herself Polly and is so desperate to get revenge. Killing the man who destroyed you and taking your perfect sister's place, who would expect that?

Another theory I have seen floating around is that Polly doesn't actually exist and Betty has a split personality disorder, Polly is all in her head. This could mean that she could switch back and forth and not even remember what she has done. Is why her mother flinches at the mention of Polly? Unfortunately, I think not. I have recently learnt that Tiera Skovbye will be playing Polly Cooper in the series so I guess that means Betty is innocent, right? 

We all know that Jason Blossom pushed Polly over the edge but what if Betty is experiencing the same thing. It hasn't been discussed in detail what happened to Polly but I can only assume that she is suffering some kind of mental illness and it's not unheard of for mental health issues to run in the family. Did losing Polly drive Betty over the edge? What if she cracked, just like her sister, and killed Jason but can't remember, or doesn't want to. 

My final theory not only involves Betty but her mother, Alice Cooper. She has not been quiet about her hate for Jason and his whole family. In fact, she was happy to find out he was dead. But what if she planned this? Just from the first 3 episodes, you can tell she's not the kindest mother or person. What if she pushed Betty to kill Jason for her or even killed him herself but pushed the blame onto her daughter. This could explain why she doesn't want Betty to get close to anyone, especially Cheryl, in fear she will share their secret. 

What are your theories about Betty? Do you think she could have killed Jason Blossom? Let me know in the comments or on Twitter! 
Riverdale is out on Netflix every Friday.




Once Upon a Time: True Love Plot Holes

Once Upon a Time is my favourite show and this is because it takes my most beloved childhood stories and adapts them to relate to me now. This show has so many messages about hope and family, but one of the biggest has to be true love. Love is the most powerful magic and it is supposed to conquer all. But does it really? To say OUAT was born from a single true love's kiss, we don't know too much about how it actually works.

The golden couple on the show for true love is Prince Charming and Snow White, who always find each other. Even the Dark One thinks their true love is pretty powerful stuff. In fact, their love is so true they created the freaking saviour. If we assume that Snowing (David and Snow's ship name) are the 'rule book' for true love, why don't all true love couples on the show follow a similar path?

Is true love set in stone? The story of Regina and Robin Hood would have you believe so. They were deemed true before they had even met. Although at first, Regina did pick being the queen over Hood, they eventually found each other. Just like Snow and David. However, this made me think about the rest of the people in the Enchanted Forest. Does everyone have a true love? Do they, mostly, always find each other? And if so, wouldn't all their children be the product of true love, making a lot of babies with light magic, just like Emma Swan? If true love is set in stone, why didn't Hook and Emma realise it a lot sooner?

Do we have multiple true loves? The story of Robin and Regina, and even Zelena and Hades, would have you think that you might have more than on true love out there for each person. This is because both Mills sisters tragically lost their loves and if they don't have another true love, they may never get their happy endings and we all know Once loves a good happy ending. But if they do have multiple true loves in their lives, how true can it really be? However, looking at the story of Hook and Emma would make you think you only have one TL. Since Emma literally went to hell to get Killian back because she could not stand to be without him.  Sorry to my fave villainous sisters, you might just have to be alone.

Doe true love last forever? You would assume so since it's meant to be true but according to Rumple and Belle, that isn't the case. Belle seems to no longer love her crocodile, this being confirmed when they had a failed true love's kiss. But doesn't that go against the whole thing? I get that the Dark One is a bad guy but I would think the most powerful magic of all, love, could withstand that. Honestly though, I don't blame Belle, if I was her I'd find a way to break that true love too.

I do hope that season 6 may answer at least one of my many questions but for now, I am left scratching my head.

I'm probably reading too much into a fictional show, about fairytale characters. But hey, I guess it stops be from being a rebellious teen on the streets.
