Warning: Spoilers ahead for season two, episode nine of "Riverdale," titled "Silent Night, Deadly Night."
Wednesday's episode of "Riverdale" was the last for the year, and there's a lot to think about.
After weeks of anticipation, the Black Hood's identity was revealed to be that of high school janitor Mr. Svenson. But this anticlimactic choice has some fans thinking maybe this was all a set up and we still don't actually know who's terrorizing the town.
But like always, "Riverdale" threw in some references to catch, and we worked with Archie Comics to uncover some of them.
Here are six details you may have missed from the mid-season finale.
"Riverdale" returns to The CW January 17 at 8 pm EST.

Veronica threw in some made up companies and words while talking about Christmas-related things — Spiffany's, Glamourgé egg, and American Excess.
Each of these are a play on real things — the jewelry retailer Tiffany’s, Fabergé eggs, and an American Express card.
The episode title, "Silent Night, Deadly Night," pulls its name from a slasher flick of the same name.
"Silent Night, Deadly Night" came out in 1984 and centers on a young kid whose parents were killed by a man dressed in a Santa suit. When he gets older, he has a breakdown and goes on a killing spree dressed as Santa. Putting the Black Hood in a Santa suit is a great homage.
Betty's dream with the Black Hood Santa directly pulls from "Twin Peaks."
In her dream, the Santa creepily crawls over the couch and heads directly for the camera. On an episode of "Twin Peaks," the killer, Bob, crawls over the couch the same way and goes into the camera in what is one of the most subtly terrifying moments on the show.
"Riverdale" has been frequently compared to "Twin Peaks" by fans and critics.
