In "null," Archie tries to save money by turning his unreliable jalopy into a makeshift taxi. After picking up a passenger at the train station and taking a questionable shortcut, the pair end up stranded after a near-miss with a train—leading to a grueling 17-mile walk back to Riverdale. The next day at school, Archie’s surprise is complete when he learns the man he chauffeured is none other than the new principal.

In "null," Archie tries to impress Veronica with a fancy date, not realizing her taste runs to the extravagant.

In "null," Archie’s initiation into the Philomathian club takes a chaotic turn when he accidentally injures Mr. Weatherbee, landing himself banned from the class boat ride.

In "null," Veronica takes Archie to the airport to meet her father, only for a series of escalating misunderstandings to land Archie in the unlikely role of his state’s representative on a congressional committee.

In "Prom Pranks," Archie’s innocent attempt to ask Veronica to the prom spirals into chaos when he learns Jughead accidentally mailed the invitation—leaving Archie scrambling to manage two dates at the same event. As the school's biggest night approaches, Archie’s well-intentioned plans unravel in a series of misadventures fueled by teenage nerves and classic Riverdale humor.

In "No Body's Dummy," Archie accidentally becomes the center of chaos when he brings a dressmaker's dummy to Veronica's sewing class—only to watch in dismay as everyone from the school's jocks to the local gossip queen mistakes it for a real girl. With the dummy suddenly the most popular (and misunderstood) student in Riverdale, Archie finds himself tangled in a web of mistaken identities, jealous glares, and one very confused art teacher.

In "The Battle of the Jitterbugs," Veronica’s bold claim that girls outshine boys in dancing sparks a playful rivalry, leading Reggie to challenge Archie and Betty to a jitterbug showdown.

In "Patch as Catch Can," Riverdale High’s annual Patch Day turns chaotic when Archie accidentally rips his pants while dodging an overzealous date-seeker, leaving him stranded in the school with nothing but a pair of hastily held-up shorts. As the day unfolds, his desperate search for cover leads to a series of escalating mishaps that test his luck—and his dignity—across the hallways and lockers of Riverdale High.

In "The Old Home Town," Archie and his family find themselves at odds with Riverdale when everyone seems to be treating them poorly. After Archie’s father receives a job offer elsewhere and accepts it, the town rallies with a surprise going-away party—only for the family to realize they’d rather stay after all.
