In "The Initial Trouble," a letter in the Dear Blabby column from a Riverdale A.A. about a rich, conceited, bossy girlfriend lands Archie in hot water—though he didn’t write it—when Veronica takes it personally. The story unfolds with the usual mix of teenage drama and humor, as Archie tries to clear his name while navigating the fallout with Veronica.
When Mr. Lodge enlists Archie as a model for his new menswear line, the spotlight shifts from Veronica’s usual schemes—especially when a news reporter arrives in Riverdale to crown the town’s best-dressed teen. With Archie suddenly in the fashion spotlight, Veronica finds herself out of step, and her plans take an unexpected turn.
