In "Trance Stance," Archie tries a new approach to his usual clumsiness when Dr. Wise implants a hypnotic suggestion to help him stay steady—only to find his parents unnerved by the sudden, unnaturally neat version of their son. When they demand the fix be removed, Archie’s life careens back into chaos, but not quite the way anyone expected.
In "Blue Saturday," Archie's mischievous dog Spotty stumbles into a school-day mess that unravels a surprising piece of Riverdale High’s past—revealing that Principal Weatherbee once had a glory-filled football career.
