The sudden loss of Perry has been a profound one for the cast and crew of the series with showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa dedicating the remainder of Riverdaleโs third season to his memory.
Itโs not yet clear yet how Lukeโs character, Fred Andrews, will be written out of the show.
The episode, titled โFear The Reaper,โ featured just two scenes with Luke.
The first was at the hospital, when Fred, Archie and a number of others were told that the fighter, who Archie boxed in last weekโs episode, had died.

And Lukeโs second scene showed Fred at home with Archie, where Fred was seen telling Archie that the boxerโs death wasnโt his fault. It was a touching scene and emotional for many reasons.
Fans posted their reactions to the episode on Twitter.
Riverdale airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on the CW.
