We really need to take mental health more seriously in America. The answer:by claiming Riverdale has been overtaken by a deadly seizure diseaseno one will bother checking in on what’s actually happening on the inside. She is portrayed by Shannon Purser. Whatever the cause, the outbreak got the town quarantined. But a lot of people watch “mystery” shows to try to solve the mystery along with the show’s “detectives.” It’s part of the fun to put clues together and come up with theories...that’s why there’s a flair/tag for theories! It just kinda hit me when the “previously on Riverdale...” for episode 3 intercut Ethel having a hand-in-the-air seizure with the GK in the forest, cocking his “head” and I thought, “huh, that’s like a puppet!”. But my theory is that the adults hid the game in the bunker all that time ago, and Dilton found the bunker and the contents and started playing the game with his friends. I’d love to hear more about your theory if you could expand. It does seem like Riverdale is trying to point the finger at Edgar Evernever's daughter, since she was present and acting oddly during several of the seizures. First Betty, then Ethel, then Josie. Betty denies doing anything of the such. Previously on Riverdale: Archie ran away from Riverdale, with Hiram following, and Jughead accompanying; Jughead decided they should go visit his (Jughead’s) mom. The mysterious Evelyn Evernever has finally made her grand appearance in Riverdale and she's already acting suspicious. The Riverdale Season 3 Episode 8 promo is filled has seizures, hazmat suits, a sneak attack, and a firing squad all wrapped up in a 20-second clip … I am taking my cues from cinematic tropes -which are not usually accurate- and not from any kind of mental health scientific consensus. Good theory, IMO, the Wendingo is not the GK, but the Gargoyle Knight, who was credited these past 2 episodes with "unknown actor", and is credited forward as an actor named Challis, about 30 years old, and resembles Charles in the SOQM photo as a young boy, IMO, the current GK is the person who ended the 1991/2 game played by the parents while in HS, and that may be FP Jones, Something went wrong, and that may be revealed in S3E4, and it may be that Featherhead is the victim, and the Gargoyle Knight is his son, back to get revenge. Played by Canadian actress Zoe De Grand'Maison, Evelyn has found herself at the centre of one of season 3's biggest mysteries - the seizures of Betty and Ethel. Veronica became vulnerable when she left and had a seizure shortly afterward, which forced her to move back home. Alice visits Betty and informs her of the Riverdale High seizure epidemic so Betty decides to fast-track her plan and get under Ethel’s skin to gain access to the Gargoyle King’s chamber. The GK speaks to her inside her head and tells her to “spread the gospel.” When she is in the Hospital at the end of 3x03, the Gargoyle King is not really there, she is hallucinating, like Betty hallucinated floating babies with her own seizure in 3x01. Are you meaning GK to stand for Gargoyle king or Gargoyle knight? However, I am certain that if this theory comes true (my theories never do), the Riverdale writers will handle such a delicate subject with “nuance” and “respect.” /sarcasm. It's also possible that not every seizure has been connected to the same source. ... Betty and Jughead learned about Gryphons and Gargoyles and they learned Ethel is playing. evelyn why she after betty ? ethel and bettys seizure ?? Betty throws up her dosage of Fizzle Rocks.

If Cheryl's mom and/or uncle is part of the dealings, they may have helped Cheryl stay safe from whatever is poisoning the other Riverdale high school girls.
