Cheryl had never exactly been close to her mother, yet when Penelope Blossom died, she found herself asking Toni why she felt so upset about it, feeling like she shouldn’t be feeling anything like the same levels of grief that Archie Andrews had felt for his father, a man worthy of being called a parent.

Toni had never met Cheryl’s father, and had never liked her mother, and honestly had they not both been already dead she would have felt no qualms about killing them herself for everything they had put Cheryl through during her childhood. But she knew this wasn’t what Cheryl wanted or needed to hear right now, so instead she just said that it was okay for Cheryl to feel as she did, for her to grieve the relationship she could have had with her parents and now never would.
