what happens
As the jury begins deliberations in his murder trial, Archie makes a surprising request about how he wants to spend his final days of summer. Betty is forced to deal with her problems head-on after a heated confrontation with Alice and Polly brings up some dark secrets she's kept hidden. Veronica pleads with Hiram to step in and help Archie before a verdict is announced. Finally, Jughead leads the Serpents against the Ghoulies latest attack.

how much it moved you
Read from 47 comments — 11 said when.
The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 11 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
