Many of the show’s viewers took to social media to share their heartbreak.

“Riverdale’s” latest episode was titled "Chapter Fifty-Four: Fear the Reaper." The CW teen drama series’ episode centered on Jughead Jones who is played by Cole Sprouse.

The hour-long episode featured Jones and his family getting involved in a dangerous game of Griffins & Gargoyles in order to save Jellybean. Fans also got to see how Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) dealt with the death of his boxing opposition, Randy Ronson.

Elio blamed Archie for supplying Ronson with performance-enhancing drugs for their boxing match. Needing support, Archie turned to his father, Fred Andrews, played by Luke Perry, for advice.

For his last scene of the show, Fred told Archie: "Son, from everything you've said, it's clear that Randy died from those drugs." He confidently added: "An autopsy will support that. You're innocent."

Fans were distraught and took to social media to praise the late actor’s performance and to mourn his death once more. Someone titled “barbi” on Twitter wrote: “tonight is Luke Perry’s last epi on #Riverdale.. even though I know he’s gone, idk if I can deal knowing it’s his last.. how are they gonna write him off?? #feelingemotional #RIPlukePerry”
