One Of The More Surprising Moments In The Episode Was The Veronica-Archie Kiss, Particularly In Terms

One of the more surprising moments in the episode was the Veronica-Archie kiss, particularly in terms of the pacing of it. You have that kiss on the cheek, and then the pause, and they look at each other. And then they have that little kiss in the middle of the school. How did you work on that moment?

I wanted it to be very genuine. She doesn’t come in to talk to him to do that, she’s not coming in to try to instigate that kiss. But because she’s connecting with him emotionally, it drew them closer, and they just couldn’t help but surprisingly kiss each other. And then they kind of see, oh, what did we do? It was building in this little kiss on the cheek, but then I wanted to have the rest of the world melt away, so that they got tunnel vision for each other. Even though they’re in the middle of lunch room, they have boxed themselves in the corner of the kitchen. So again, I designed where it happened, so I can let the characters connect.

‼️ they got tunnel vision for each other ‼️

I love this.

And I really liked the scene. Of course, a bit short for my taste but very Varchie like. Roberto was talking about emotional memories all season long while playing around -- but this moment, now that's one.

And their theme was also playing.

Overall quite happy with the content. Can't wait to gif it all.
