Central American Capitals. Capital Cities. Veronica suggested that they talk about Fred and the shooting at the diner. Fred was shot one day after he rejected the offer to sale his portion of the SoDale project, which led Veronica to wonder if it was Hiram that called for Fred to be shot.
Hiram insisted that the attack at the diner was not his doing. Unconvinced with Hiram's statement, Veronica explained that she was his fiercest protector, which Hermione could vouch for. Whenever someone called him the devil incarnate, she always came to his defense, telling herself that Hiram wasn't that bad and that he can be forgiven. However, all that changed when she received a letter from him, threatening Hermione.
After reading the letter, Hermione explained that Hiram didn't write the letter, she did. She wrote the letter threatening herself in order to get Veronica to testify on Hiram's behalf, so that they could come together as a family once more. Hearing this, Veronica stated that her mother and father were perfect for each other.
The following night, Hiram and Hermione showed up for Retro Night in support of Veronica and her cause to keep the diner from closing. Much to their surprise, Veronica was willing to start over after taking into consideration how the evening was also a new beginning for Pop's.
However, she asked for total transparency in return. The thought of being a family again excited Hiram, so much so that he gave Veronica a hug. In the spirit of that, Hiram proposed that Lodge Industries make a "charitable contribution" to the diner. Hiram returned home with Veronica and Hermione. They are greeted at the door by Andre , their new doorman. Hiram informed Veronica that Smithers ' mother fell ill, so he went home, over seas, to care for her, and that Andre was his replacement [10].
Hiram exited his study to find Veronica and Hermione arguing. Veronica asked if her inner-circle of friends could come over to watch the season premiere of The Matchlerette. She even extended an invitation to Hiram for him join them as they were supposedly dying to meet him. That night, Hiram and Hermione stopped by to meet Veronica's friends before leaving for dinner at the club. Veronica introduced him to each of her friends, starting with Betty Cooper , then onto Jughead Jones , the son of FP Jones , who Hiram claimed was a good man that valued family.
He hoped that FP's return came sooner rather than later. Finally, he was introduced to Archie Andrews , the boy whose captured his daughter's heart. He and Archie shared a firm handshake as he instructed Archie to call him Hiram rather than Mr. He couldn't help but hear their previous discussion in regards to the frustration they were demonstrating towards Sheriff Keller and his inability to catch the killer.
As someone whose had his fair share of run-ins with the law, Hiram could say with confidence that the police weren't always the solution. Drastic times called for drastic measures, meaning they would have to take justice into their own hands.
Before leaving, he invited Archie over for dinner later in the week. He looked forward to seeing what Archie came up with for saving Riverdale. The following night, Archie, who was visibly nervous, came over for dinner as planned.
He observed as Veronica placed her hand on Archie uncontrollably shaking leg, to clam him. Hiram asked Archie about Ethel Muggs , who he had rescued the prior night.
Unfortunately, the individual stalking her got away. Admittedly, they needed to increase their response time, which Hiram understood as he too liked to be ahead of the threat.
He then asked Archie if he's ever had rum. There was a signature Lodge family label that he had in his study, asking if Archie would like to try some. Of course he would, Veronica replied. However, she mistook this as an offer to join them, which it wasn't as Hiram asked that she stay behind, providing him and Archie with the opportunity to talk man-to-man. While reading the morning paper at the breakfast table, Veronica proposed that she be granted an active role in Lodge Industries considering that she was a shareholder, though that was merely an honorary title, Hiram explained, leading Veronica to suggest that they make it a legitimate title.
She wanted to get her hands dirty and be in the room where it all happened, to get a peek behind the curtains. Hiram agreed that as a Lodge, it was her right to be more involved in the family business. Following his discussion with Veronica, he watched from his laptop as Archie and his fellow Red Circle members, all of whom were wearing red masks, sent a message to the Black Hood, threatening to hunt him down.
With the Red Circle 's public message to the Black Hood sending the town into panic, Hiram and Hermione confronted Veronica on her involvement with the group. Veronica claimed to have no affiliation with the Red Circle or the viral video, though she didn't seem to think it was as serious as they were making it out to be.
Hermione explained that it was a video threatening violence, which in turn made Archie dangerous in the eyes of Hiram and Hermione, though the latter took it a step further by forbidding Veronica from seeing Archie any further. However, Veronica had no intent on breaking off their relationship without first getting Archie's side of the story.
As Veronica left for school , a grin formed on Hiram's face, between the Black hood, the Red Circle, and the Town Hall meeting, there was so much chaos and confusion, providing the perfect opportunity for a business man like himself to capitalize off of. Hiram was interrupted in his study by Veronica, who returned home from school to ask about what he and Archie talked about during the night they invited him over for dinner.
Hiram claimed to have no recollection of the specifics of his and Archie's conversation. Veronica was asking because one of the things she loved about Archie is how earnest he is, in more of an innocent sort of way, making him both trusting and kind. However, that simplicity also made him impressionable, as well as vulnerable to certain forms of attack, such as manipulation. If someone were to pour poison into one of his ears, a dark notion in the shape of the Red Circle may take form for instance.
Hiram began to wonder if Veronica was suggesting that he had something to do with Archie's sudden reckless behavior. But Veronica explained that she wasn't suggesting anything, merely asking what he and Archie talked about. Unfortunately, just as Hiram said before, he didn't remember what he and Archie discussed. He then asked if Veronica could excuse him because the Swiss banks were about to close, and he had a call with the Lodge Charitable Trust to make.
Hiram sat in his study with Veronica and Hermione , who read aloud the latest published article from the Register , in which Alice Cooper accused him of wanting to profit off of [[Riverdale town ] Riverdale]]'s misfortunes, rather than fix them.
Hiram explained that they couldn't allow anything to derail the SoDale project, that included Alice, the southside gangs Southside Serpents and Ghoulies , and the Black Hood. They're biggest problem was capital, which they were running out of at a fast rate, Hermione informed him.
Fortunately, Hiram had invited potential investors to the open house , specifically the St. Clair's, who were coming up from New York. Veronica was thrilled to hear that an old friend of hers, Nick St. Clair , would be coming up with them for the opening. According to Hiram, he was a budding music producer, and his father was King Midas rich. If they could get the St.
Clair's to invest, then others would surely follow. Hiram and Hermione looked to Veronica to help them close the deal by showing Nick the best sides of Riverdale. Several days later, Hiram and Hermione arrived at the opening, arm-in-arm, greeting guests as they proceeded down the aisle. If the successful turn out of the open house didn't convince the St.
Clair's to invest, nothing would. Hiram called over Veronica to ask how things were going with her showing Nick the best that Riverdale had to offer. From all reports, Veronica's charm offensive was paying off. Despite learning from Veronica that Nick St. Clairs, that is until they were confronted by Veronica.
Hiram and Hermione were playing chess in the living room, when Veronica entered to confront them on their business dealings with the St. Clairs, having learned from Cheryl that they were still allowing the St. Clairs to invest in the SoDale project, even after Nick attacked Cheryl. Hiram tried to make claim that Cheryl's accusations were not strong enough as she lacked any physical evidence to support what was being said. However, Veronica insisted that Cheryl was telling the truth, and she knew this because Nick attempted to do the same to her.
Upon hearing this, Hiram's dismissive attitude toward the situation abruptly changed to anger, vowing to never take a single penny from the St. Clairs ever again. The following night, the phone rang as Veronica read, while they played chess in the living room. Hermione picked up the phone, getting news from Andre that the St.
Clairs had gotten into a car accident; Nick would gradually recover, with time, but Xander and Simone St. Clair 's status were not mentioned. Karma's a bitch", Veronica said, as Hermione and Hiram continued playing chess.
After receiving a threatening letter from someone claiming to be the Black Hood , Hiram and Hermione called Sheriff Keller over to investigate.
As the Sheriff was leaving, Veronica returned the Pembrooke. Hiram informed her of the letter, and how it threatened that they would be targeted and punished for their sinful ways. Veronica was terrified by the letter considering that they were actually sinners, though Hiram and Hermione didn't express much concern given that dozens of households received the exact same letter as them.
Not to mention that the Pembrooke was a fortress and Andre was trained in martial arts. In regards to Veronica's every day activities, such as going to school and shopping, Andre would drive her.
But when he wasn't available, they'd hire a car service. After talking it over, Hiram and Hermione also wouldn't mind seeing more of Archie considering that he was brawny and devoted to Veronica. During breakfast the next day, Veronica told her parents that Archie had said that he loved her, though she didn't say it back as she felt it was too soon.
It didn't matter what Archie said or didn't say, it was about whether or not Veronica was ready to here it, Hiram and Hermione stated. In the days leading up to Christmas, the Lodges ate dinner as a family, during which time, Hiram was asked by Hermione about the Spiffany's bag she saw him come in with earlier that day.
It looked about the right size for a Glamerge egg, she added. That depends on whether she's been naughty or nice this year, Hiram replied. Hiram then assured Veronica that he had her Christmas list as well. But he asked of her to refrain from snooping as she does every year.
However, Veronica wasn't in the Christmas spirit. Which is why she was hoping that Hermione and Hiram would cover his expenses. Unfortunately, the Lodge Charitable Trust had made its donations for the fiscal year. Fred would have to tighten his belt, so to speak. However, as Veronica informed Hiram, Fred was already selling Christmas trees for extra money.
That's the kind of father he was, Veronica surmised. Regardless, Hiram wished to hear no more on the matter, storming off to his study. They realized that it was Veronica's doing and came home to confront her.
She deiced that her parents would cover Fred's medical expenses considering that they had the money to buy Pop's and then lie to her face about it. How is it that we can now afford a diner, Veronica wondered. Hiram addressed the fact that she wanted a more active role in Lodge Industries , which they gave to her. In response, she broke into his office and tried to use whatever she could find as leverage against them. While Hiram admitted that it was a lot Veronica didn't know, he informed her that this was intentional.
Veronica questioned how she could be apart of the family if they continued to hide things from her. Veronica thought that she wanted to know everything, but she didn't, Hiram remarked. Though, with her name being on all of the documents in Hiram's desk, Veronica insisted that she had the right to know the truth about everything. Hermione agreed. However, this would also mean that the time for being "Daddy's little girl" is over.
It was time for all of them to work in lockstep. Hiram agreed, telling Veronica to follow him to the study. In the study, Hiram and Hermione revealed everything to Veronica about their family's business. She agreed to join them in running Lodge Industries, though she had one condition; she refused to do anything illegal.
Which was fine considering that they denounced any illegal activity on their behalf as well. Hermione shared with Veronica two words to live by; plausible deniability.
In regards to the charge that Veronica made towards Fred's medical bills, she wanted that to stick. While Hiram was initially against doing so as it would only complicate things, Hermione agreed to Veronica's demand, stating that they could smooth it over. Furthermore, they needed Fred for what would come next.
Assuming that the Fred situation could be finessed, Veronica agreed to the deal with her parents. On Christmas morning, the Lodges unwrapped their gifts, during which time, they informed Veronica that Archie had stopped by the day before to leave her a gift. As Riverdale returned to a sense of normalcy, Christmas over and the Black Hood gone, Hiram and Hermione continued to conduct secret business meetings with Mayor McCoy , having hosted her at the Pembrooke. Hiram took her into his private study as Veronica looked on.
Hermione briefly stopped, smiling and gave a wink to Veronica. Veronica returned the gesture in kind. Hiram and Hermione took a moment to check in on Veronica. Hiram was concerned about how she was feeling with their established plan. Veronica assured them that she was still on board. Hermione pressed her further revealing the severity of what's to come. She explained that once completed, she would be at ground zero, i.
Their concern went unwarranted; she believed, regardless of what's to come, she'll be fine. However, she assured her parents that she'll be able to keep her classmates from revolting once the news broke. With renewed faith, they nodded at their daughter in silence. That night Hiram and Hermione invited Archie up for dinner.
He thanked the Lodges for helping his dad with his medical bills. The Lodges were happy to assist. Veronica explained that, in return, she had hoped he would stand beside her in welcoming the incoming Southside transfers. Archie agreed and took the opportunity to ask him and Hermione about the closure of Southside High.
He assumed that being close to the SoDale project, it's bad for business. Hiram corrected him, saying that drugs, gangs, and violence was in fact bad for business. Archie also assumed that investors, like the St. Clairs, must be fine with it as well.
Veronica updated him, saying that they were no longer investors. Hermione confirmed that due to what had transpired between Nick and Cheryl , they had severed all ties with the family; they didn't even call them after the accident.
This news gained Archie's attention and so he asked what happened. Hiram claimed not to know what truly happened, that he either had a car accident driving back to Vail or on the slopes. Archie asked if he was okay, though Hermione assured Archie that he'd recovered enough to be back at Greenwich Prep. Prior to this appearance on screen, the series has managed to paint a fairly detailed picture of his overall personality. Hiram is a dishonest and underhanded businessman.
He is quite ruthless, willing to step on and double cross anyone and everyone in order to achieve his own selfish goals. He has even gone as far as to threaten his own wife and daughter. During the Season 2 premiere, Hiram made his on-screen debut after being released from prison. He appeared to be a bit intimidating, as he sat at the dinner table asking Veronica for a kiss on the cheek.
More than just intimidating, Hiram is very manipulative, especially towards his wife and daughter. However, he doesn't solely manipulate Hermione and Veronica, he also manipulated Archie throughout the second season, gaining Archie's trust and nearly tearing him apart from Fred. Hiram recognizes and looks for certain values in other people that he respects.
However, Hiram is not without reason or understanding, shown when he agreed to a truce with Archie after he saved Hiram from being killed. Hiram also despises disloyalty, especially when it comes down to being lied to, as shown with his wife Hermione. When it comes down to his daughter however, Hiram has an understanding with Veronica and tries his best to compromise with her. During Season 3 , Hiram's personality appears to be more cold than it was initially made out to be, as he went so far as to try and kill Archie Andrews numerous times, most recently inside of the ring during one of their boxing matches.
A match that was a set up by his own daughter, Veronica, in an attempt to have him incarcerated once again. Hermosa is his illegitimate firstborn. Hiram had cared for her all her life. Hermosa respects her father and always stands by his side. She know what he's like, but she has no problem with it, unlike his younger daughter Veronica. Despite the fact that Hiram instills in Veronica that she's his favorite, at the moment he is more loyal to Hermosa.
There is also the possibility that Hiram likes to fuel the rivalry that is brewing between his daughters. Archieverse Wiki Explore. Katy Keene. What is the Archieverse?
