Archie feels bad about never winning anything, so the girls encourage him to enter an essay contest to write about what love means to him. Archie's heartfelt essay looks like a clear winner next to Reggie's sexist one, but Archie failed to notice that the winner is decided by a random drawing. Reggie entered 1000 times to snag the prize. Archie may have lost the magazine contest, but he has earned the key to Betty and Veronica's hearts.
