Riverdale has a huge season coming up in the next few months on Netflix and The CW. The season three finale saw Betty Cooper (played by Lili Reinhart) finally find out what was going on at The Farm and learn her mother Alice (Madchen Amick) was working undercover. Alice had been working closely alongside FBI Agent and real son Charles Smith (Wyatt Nash) to uncover the truth about the organ harvesting at the cult. However, in the final moments it was revealed Alice and Charles had disappeared with Betty left without her mother.

While it still hasn't been revealed where Alice and Charles are, one fan thinks a death in season two may promise more trouble for the Cooper household, especially if Alice does return. Season two saw a number of strange goings-on including Betty and her mother, Alice Cooper (Madchen Amick), and their quest to keep her long-lost son Chic (Hart Denton) safe. After getting himself into trouble with a drug dealer, Chic was attacked in the Cooper household, prompting Alice to kill the evildoer. This prompted a huge clean-up operation which roped Betty and FP Jones (Skeet Ulrich) into the coverup. But the fan in question has suggested this murder may come back to bite Alice in a big way in season four. Reddit user GentleCritter explained: “Something I hope comes up in Season 4 is the shady man secret, aka: Alice, Betty, Jughead and FP cover up a murder to protect imposter Chic. “This secret was wielded throughout Season three as something that could land these upstanding folks in hot water… but nothing ever came of it!

Something I hope comes up in Season 4 is the shady man secret Riverdale fan

“I hope it is addressed in a major way and causes DRAMA for the Jones-Cooper-Smiths. Here I will run down who in town DEFINITELY and/or PROBABLY knows all about the worst kept secret in Riverdale." The season three finale reveal of Charles Smith’s existence may have solved some of the problems involving The Farm, and indeed Edgar Evernever (Chad Michael Murray), but he is still an FBI agent. Could Alice find herself being turned in to the authorities if her son finds out about her murder? Another viewer doesn’t think so, as they believe Alice may have already made an off-screen agreement with Charles about her past transgressions. They wrote: “I don’t think it matters as Alice obviously made a deal with her son the FBI agent to be exempt of any crimes in order to catch The Farm. “Hence why she told Edgar, in order to gain his trust knowing that the FBI are already on her side.” But this agreement could be thrown out the window if she doesn’t cooperate with the authorities further? Or could her daughter and Jughead be threatened as well? Either way, Jughead and the Coopers are in for a tough season later this year.
