The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
It was Joey.
Joey, stuck in a wheelchair.
He was so gaunt that Anastasia barely recognized him. She thought about telling the cabbie to pull over, but then remembered her fallout with Gianna. There was no point in getting involved in things that weren't her business anymore, so she stayed silent.
Just around the corner from the coffee shop, Joey could only move his hands. Sitting in his wheelchair, he handed out flyers to the passersby.
The flyers laid out how Gianna had pushed him down the stairs, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. They accused her of cheating on him before their divorce, stealing all his money, transferring assets, and dumping him in a nursing home where he was mistreated.
This was why Gianna’s coffee shop was going under.
People walked past the coffee shop but didn't go in once they learned what kind of person the owner supposedly was.
Gianna stood inside, watching the crowd walk by, wondering why no one was coming in. Frustrated, she grabbed her purse and decided to head out for some pampering at the beauty salon.
As soon as she stepped outside, Gianna felt the strange looks from people on the street. Their whispers were unintelligible, but she knew they were about her.
A flyer floated down to her feet. She picked it up and instantly saw red.
She knew Joey was behind this mess.
Following the direction the flyer had come from, she found Joey in his wheelchair, handing them out.
"Joey!"
Gianna shouted, storming over and snatching the flyers from his hands.
“So, it’s you causing trouble! Instead of staying out of sight back home, you come here to be a pain. Are you asking for it?”
