The Fate of Characters in Season 7: Unraveling the Mysteries

Betty Cooper’s Remarkable Journey as a Successful Writer

In the captivating series finale, titled “Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Seven: Goodbye, Riverdale,” the storyline takes a leap 67 years into the future, revealing Betty Cooper as an 86-year-old.

Despite outliving her friends, Betty’s fading memories led her to ask her daughter, named Alice after her mother, to take her on one last visit to Riverdale.

During this visit, Betty encounters a guardian-angel version of Jughead, who grants her wish to relive a missed senior year day due to illness.

As Betty revisits her past, Jughead reminds her of where each character ended up after high school and going their separate ways.

A surprising revelation from this trip down memory lane is that Betty, Jughead, Veronica Lodge, and Archie Andrews briefly engaged in a unique quad relationship during their high school years. The decision to explore polyamory provided a respite from the pressure of making a single choice.

Following graduation, the foursome went their separate ways, and Betty embarked on a successful career as a writer. Her self-published book, “The Teenage Mystique,” achieved tremendous success, and she established herself as a freelance writer in New York. Additionally, Betty actively protested against injustices and founded a feminist magazine called She Says.

Despite the ongoing speculation among fans as to whether Betty would end up with Archie or Jughead, neither romance came to fruition.

While Betty remained unmarried, she found fulfillment by adopting a daughter named Carla and regarded her family as her greatest legacy, surpassing her professional accomplishments.

In the final scene, 86-year-old Betty drives into Riverdale with her granddaughter for one last time before passing away in the car. She then reunites with her friends in the Sweet Hereafter, where they perpetually remain 17 and spend their days together at Pop’s.
