Warning: Spoilers ahead for season two, episode 11 of "Riverdale," titled "The Wrestler."
Wednesday's episode of "Riverdale" had a lot of layers to wade through.
The CW drama featured Archie growing closer to Hiram Lodge, the Southside splitting even further from the Northside, revealed Chic's shocking job, and showed Betty turning to her "dark side." But, of course, the show managed to fit in some pop culture references and tie in to the comics.
INSIDER worked with Archie Comics to reveal five references you might have missed.
The teens learn about Augustus Pickens in school, but Archie comics fans may recognize the name.
In the comics, Pickens was an army general who served during the American Civil War. Pickens Park is named after him.
"Riverdale" introduced another teacher from the Archie Comics, Ms. Haggly.
On "Riverdale," Cheryl gives a presentation in history class and says thank you to a Mrs. Haggly. In the comics, Ms. Haggly is supposedly the oldest teacher at the school and is depicted as slightly overweight and with white hair.
Cheryl mentions her great-great-great-great grandfather Barnabus Blossom during her history presentation — and the name may have some real significance.
While Barnabus Blossom may not exist in the comics, there is a Barnabus Blossom House located in Fall River, Massachusetts. One important tidbit about Fall River is that it is where Lizzie Borden was from. Borden was infamous for being tried and then later acquitted for the murders of her father and stepmother. This seems like a fun, creepy coincidence.
