“Riverdale” fans said goodbye to Luke Perry Wednesday night, as The CW aired the last episode of the dark Archie Comics-inspired drama the actor filmed before his death. But it remains to be seen how his character, Archie’s father Fred Andrews, will be written off the series.
Perry’s final scene was a meaningful conversation between Fred and Archie (K.J. Apa) about Randy Ronson — the man who died after Archie knocked him out of the ring on last week’s episode. When the two returned home after learning the news, Archie told Fred in their kitchen he blamed himself for Randy’s death, even though the now-dead fighter had taken drugs right before their fight.
