In "Haul Trash!", Archie and Mr. Andrews set out to clear out the garage, only to find their discarded items unexpectedly thriving at a flea market—where every piece they thought was junk has found a new owner. With a mix of humor and heart, the story follows their surprising detour and the unexpected value of what they once threw away.

When the alien Zeenox and his parents crash-land on Earth to repair their ship, chaos follows—especially when Zeenox wanders off and gets swept up in a whirlwind of Halloween fun.

In "Sign of the Times," Archie and Jughead take on a surprisingly sticky task when they convince a skeptical storekeeper to display their concert poster—on the condition they clean his cluttered window display. What starts as a simple favor quickly turns into a test of patience and creativity, as the storekeeper’s stubbornness and sneaky tactics put their teamwork to the ultimate test.

In a quiet moment at Riverdale High, a flicker in the security system leads to a sudden shutdown—just as Mr. Weatherbee makes a quiet decision to dismantle the cameras and finally reach out to Ms. Beazly, hoping to mend what’s been left behind.

In "Quick Feat," Archie panics when he overhears his dad threatening to cut his allowance in half unless his room is clean, scrambling to tidy up before the deadline.

In "The Game of the Name," Archie finds himself caught in a prank when Reggie makes him drive his car, Gertrude, every night to check for issues—only for Reggie to spread a rumor that Archie’s spending his evenings with the car itself. The joke spirals as the town starts treating the car like a romantic partner, leaving Archie to navigate the absurdity with his usual mix of awkward charm and good humor.

In "To Act or Not To Act," Archie and Reggie both want the lead in the school play, so Ms. Hammly puts them to the test: they must spend a day pretending to be each other to see who truly has what it takes. The challenge puts their personalities to the ultimate test as they navigate each other’s lives, friendships, and daily routines.

In "The Wolf Man," Alec tries to prank Laurie by making her think Wilbur’s been flirting with other girls—only for Wilbur to turn the tables by playing the part of a wolf, complete with growls and dramatic flair.
