“Woe Blow”

In "Woe Blow," Archie is stunned when he catches Jughead effortlessly besting Moose in what he thinks is a real fight—only to learn later that it's just rehearsal for a school play. The gang scrambles to figure out if Jughead's sudden confidence is a sign of change, or just a performance. Samm Schwartz's art brings the familiar faces to life, while Stan Goldberg's cover captures the moment of surprise with classic flair.

When Archie sees Jughead and Moose fighting (and Jughead winning!) he doesn't realize they are practicing for a school play. He tells the rest of the gang about Jughead's new strength and attitude and everyone wonders if Jughead will now try to get back at them for treating him badly.
