In "Fan Club," Archie’s latest gadget—Dilton Doiley’s portable fan, cobbled together from a broken camera and its battery case—becomes an unlikely hero on a sweltering day. When a thief tries to steal the fan, mistaking it for a camera, Archie’s clever invention ends up saving the day in the most unexpected way.
In "Back Attack," Mr. Lodge’s chronic back pain has him at his snappiest, making life tough for Archie. When Jughead suggests a magnet belt to ease the ache, Archie tries it—only to find the device pulls every metal object in the house into chaos, turning the Lodge mansion into a magnetized mess.
