In "Can You Dig It?", Jo and the gang dive into a summer fossil dig supervised by grad student Ben Alvarez, hoping for extra credit. When Reggie and Archie’s usual antics disrupt the dig, they’re quickly kicked off the project—leaving the rest to uncover what’s buried beneath the surface.
Betty’s ambitious plan to cram every possible summer adventure into the final months of the 20th century quickly hits a wall when Archie, Veronica, Jughead, and the rest of the gang stage a peaceful but firm protest. With a mix of humor and growing exhaustion, the group finds themselves at a crossroads—how far will they go to keep up with Betty’s vision, and what happens when even the best intentions start to feel like too much?
