Thinking about the fact that Hermione tells Jughead that Hiram hiring Tall Boy to shoot at Hermione or his cheating on her didn’t make her all that mad, but Hiram’s drug business indirectly causing Veronica to have seizures at school moved her to hire FP Jones to assassinate her husband who terrifies her (of course, FP failed bc that’s just how he is, he fails at things). I can’t tell if this is actually true or if this is what Hermione calculates would be the story that wins over Jughead Jones, who wants to be loved by his mother and wants his plot-mirror Veronica to be loved by her mother too.
