In PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek at Wednesday’s series finale, the couple welcomes everyone to The Dark Room for their art show, a “culmination” of the girlfriends' creative work together over the past year.
“This is the culmination of a year-long collaboration between myself and my partner in all things, Toni Topaz,” Cheryl continues.

The latest season sees the group back in high school,stuck in the ‘50safter a comet wiped out the town of Riverdale and forced Tabitha (Erinn Westbrook) to send them all back in time. Up until last week’s penultimate episode, the friends had no memories of their prior lives.
In aninterviewwith Vulture that took place before theSAG-AFTRA strike, Petsch, 29, and Morgan, 31, said they were “grateful” for Choni fans’ support over the years.
The popular relationship first came to fruition when Toni’s character was introduced in season 2.

“Being in a female-female relationship on the show was interesting because Vanessa and I were the biggest supporters of having more sexual encounters on the show. And I feel like some people were scared of that,” Petsch told Vulture. “In season three, she and I just decided with a director to put in this sex scene that wasn’t there.”
“And that, I think, broke the barrier of allowing us to be more like the other couples on the show,” she continued. “I felt it was really important for our particular relationship.”
