    Consumed by guilt, Reggie confesses to Kevin that he purposely hit Hot Dog with his car and leaves to sacrifice himself to the zombies. Upon his arrival at the horde, which embraces Reggie instead of killing him, Sabrina appears and promises to bring back Midge from the dead in exchange for the murder of Betty.

    Betty, Veronica and Nancy rehearse a production of Macbeth.

Publisher’s description

The Horror began in Riverdale when Reggie Mantle struck and killed Jughead’s beloved pooch Hot Dog. Since then, Reggie has been living with this secret knowledge—and terrible guilt. With no one to talk to about it, Reggie has started to crack under the strain. He is seeing visions of his dead friends—or are they literal ghosts? When an act of kindness prompts a confession from him, Reggie must decide for himself, once and for all—is there any good within him? Or is Reggie, as we’ve always suspected, beyond redemption?
