In "Match Point," Archie finds himself in the midst of a surprisingly competitive game—both on the court and off—as he takes tennis lessons from Sheila, the new shapely pro. Betty, ever the loyal friend, isn’t about to let things get too cozy between Archie and Sheila, and her efforts to keep them apart are as sharp as her wit.

When Reggie convinces Jughead to enter a girls’ tennis tournament—mostly to cash in on his own bets—he quickly turns the match into a chaotic game of mind games, pulling pranks on the other players just to throw them off their game. With Jughead blissfully unaware and Reggie scheming behind the scenes, the court becomes a battlefield of absurdity, where every serve could be a setup.

Archie’s left a heartfelt poem in a book he lent to Reggie, and Jughead’s determined to retrieve it before Reggie reads it—no easy task when Reggie’s got a nose for secrets and a habit of reading everything. With a plan as quirky as his usual antics, Jughead sets out to recover the poem without a single clue slipping out.

In "The Big Pitch," Betty takes charge at a charity softball game between Riverdale and Clarksville, diving into every detail from the mound to the snack stand—her leadership style as sharp as her focus, and her passion for perfection on full display.

Betty and Veronica face a classic dilemma: the perfect weather is calling them outside, but the shopping spree they’ve been planning is too good to skip. Caught between sunshine and sales, they’ll have to find a way to enjoy both—without missing a single moment.

In "A Raft of Trouble," Jughead tries to make amends after unintentionally hurting Bruinhilda’s feelings by inviting her to a picnic—only to face a series of mishaps when their boat struggles to reach the island. Forced to take a raft, the duo’s troubles escalate when Bruinhilda accidentally breaks the dock and drifts away with the boat, leaving Jughead to rescue both her and the lunches. The story unfolds with classic Archie humor, blending heartfelt moments and slapstick chaos as Jughead’s well-meaning efforts lead to unexpected adventures.

In "A Tight Fit," Jughead’s new jacket draws admiring glances—so much so that Reggie offers a trade for his prized baseball glove. Jughead agrees, happy he got the jacket free with two sweaters, but when rain starts, the jacket begins to shrink, leaving Reggie in a surprisingly snug situation.

In "Pen Swipers," the panic begins when Mr. Weatherbee alerts the police to a mysterious serial pen thief at Riverdale High—only to start questioning his own judgment when Jughead Jones becomes the prime suspect. With the school on edge and the usual suspects under scrutiny, the real culprit might be closer than anyone expects.

When Archie's uncle Thurston sends him a parrot that can hula hoop, Reggie sees a chance to win big on Dennis Linkerman's "Dumb Pet Tricks" show—leading to a prank-filled race to the spotlight.

In "The Buddy System," Veronica and Betty team up for a lakeside birthday getaway with Archie, promising a fun fishing trip to the Lodge cabin—though they’ve conveniently left the fishing gear behind.

When Dilton rewards Betty for helping him move by brewing a love potion, things take a chaotic turn when she accidentally pours it down the sink—sending it swirling through the Riverdale High water system. Now, the whole school’s caught in a wave of unexpected feelings, and no one’s quite sure who’s falling for whom.

When Mr. Lodge installs a new ATM in the mansion for Veronica, she’s thrilled—until she learns about the strict $100 monthly limit and $2 fee per transaction. Now she’s stuck navigating the fine print of her own luxury, trying to keep up with her usual spending habits.

Archie, ever the enthusiastic leader as President of the Riverdale Sweetie-pie Cuddles fan club, gets his biggest thrill when the idol herself visits town.
