Archie #5

Betty navigates the halls of Riverdale High in a wheelchair, her resolve steady as she faces the challenges of a new normal. With her father cutting ties and the weight of his absence pressing in, she’s determined to prove she can handle everything on her own—no matter the cost.

In "Chapter Three: But Thank You," Betty grapples with uncertainty as the Riverdale High community rallies around her, only to find her father quietly steering her toward believing Archie has turned his back. With loyalty tested and emotions running high, Betty must navigate the distance between what she’s told and what she feels.

In "Chapter Four: Family Meeting," Archie makes a difficult choice when he sells his beloved car to help cover Betty's medical expenses, handing the money directly to Mr. Cooper—only to find him unmoved by the gesture. With time running short, Archie finds a way to send a message to Betty, hoping it reaches her before it's too late.

In "Chapter Three: Every Time" from Archie #5 (2018), Archie finally understands what’s behind Veronica’s growing distance, while Dilton musters the courage to confess his feelings to Betty. When the two pairs confront each other, a moment of truth forces Betty and Archie to face a difficult decision.
