Betty gets a pay reduction at work and has her workload increased. Mr. Lodge offers to make Archie a superstar if the boy leaves Betty to go back to Veronica. Angered by the proposal, Archie throws Lodge out of the bar he's singing at. Feeling dejected and with few prospects, Archie stops at a dive, only to meet his childhood friend Ambrose. He then meets Betty and kisses her, feeling better about his life. Watching the Andrews from the street is Dilton -- a scientist who supposedly disappeared after publishing his work on alternate universes.
