Warning: Spoilers ahead for season two, episode 10 of "Riverdale," titled "The Blackboard Jungle."
After a winter hiatus, "Riverdale" is back with some new characters.
Wednesday's episode of the hit CW show finally introduced Betty Cooper's long-lost brother Charles, who goes by Chic.
Betty gets the idea to find the son Alice gave up after she runs into Polly at home. Betty walks in on Polly, who has given birth to her twins, packing up a box of things to take back to the farm she is living on. She knows that her mother will be upset about her daughter choosing to stay away from the family.
Alice does want to meet her son, so she and Betty go to the address a social worker gave them and find him.
Fans were excited to finally meet the other Cooper sibling.

But Chic, played by Hart Denton, reveals that he knows who Alice and Betty are, because the Sisters of the Quiet Mercy gave him the family address when he turned 18. The family meeting quickly turns sour as Chic gets angry and tells the two to leave because he is waiting for a client.
Betty later returns to speak with Chic and finds him being attacked by a guy with a knife. She pepper sprays the man and takes Chic home to her parents.
Chic is obviously into some trouble, and he could be putting his family in danger.
As if that suspicious behavior isn't enough, Chic's final scene is him creepily entering Betty's room and watching her as she sleeps. Jughead's voiceover over the scene implies that Betty needs to be wary of Chic.
"And Betty, the girl next door, had no sooner vanquished one monster, and she perhaps let another one into her family's lives," he says.
At the end of the episode, Archie voices his concern to the FBI agent that they might not have caught the right Black Hood. Archie's suspicion fits in with the fan theory that Mr. Svenson was merely a set-up and not the actual killer terrorizing the town.
Some fans suspect that Chic may be involved with the Black Hood or he's at least super creepy.
chic’s face at the end was the creepiest and im never going to be able to get over that, that ending got me f’ed up. ill be seeing that face in my sleep😭 ive said it from the start chic is the BLACKHOOD!! #Riverdale

.....i still don’t think chic is the black hood tho and if he is he must just be the voice because the man we saw in the actual black hood was much older and had a different body type 🤔 #riverdale

Fans will have to wait to see what Chic is really up to as the season progresses. And if our hunch is correct, "Riverdale" is not yet finished with the Black Hood.
"Riverdale" airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.
