Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Riverdale season 6.

Riverdale season 6 pays tribute to Archie Comics in first-look photos of the show’s upcoming 100th episode. Since its debut on November 16, Riverdale‘s sixth season has embarked on a five-episode event known as “Rivervale.” Infused with horror, and drawing from recent films like Midsommar, Rivervale has seen popular characters like Archie Andrews get killed off. And, with each episode so far, the body count has grown. This has led many fans to speculate about the true nature of Rivervale, and how the shocking deaths might influence the series moving forward.

The five-episode event is of a piece with Riverdale’s ethos more broadly. Ever since premiering in January 2017, the teen drama has given a darker edge to the world and the protagonists established in Archie Comics. The show has featured decidedly dysfunctional family relationships, torrid affairs, and even serial killers. In the process, it has paid homages to pop culture staples such as Twin Peaks, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and Carrie. But, in honor of its upcoming 100th episode, Riverdale will honor the source material that started it all.

E! News has revealed photos from Riverdale’s 100th episode, which will debut December 14 on The CW. The episode, titled “Chapter One Hundred: The Jughead Paradox”, will mark the end of the Rivervale event. It’s teased in the episode’s description that Jughead will begin a quest to uncover the truth about Rivervale after he’s unnerved by a series of strange happenings. “Chapter One Hundred” will also see the return of former Riverdale recurring guests such as Shannon Purser, who will reprise the role of Ethel Muggs. Major Curda and Lochlyn Munro will also be back as Dilton Doiley and Hal Cooper, respectively. You can check out the photos below.

The attires of the characters clearly hearken back to the source material, as some of Archie’s most memorable images show the title character flanked by Betty and Veronica. And, notably, one of the photos highlights a stand that appears to be selling issues of Archie Comics. This could potentially prove to be the key to understanding Rivervale, as many have theorized that this alternate dimension of Riverdale is simply a story that Jughead is writing that’s inspired by characters and situations he knows. But, even before reaching the big celebratory episode, the CW series will also feature a long-awaited crossover with Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Lili Reinhart, who plays Betty Cooper, has previously shared her belief that Riverdale won’t go beyond seven seasons. If that proves to be the case, fans still have plenty of time to spend with the show. And, impressively, thanks to the strangeness of Rivervale and the impending arrival of Kiernan Shipka as Sabrina, the teen drama has succeeded in drumming up a bit of interest late in its run. Depending on what happens next, the CW stalwart could go out on a high note.
