In "The Ol' Bawl Game," Betty’s relentless crying over Archie’s indifference draws the attention of an overeager (and utterly clueless) fairy godmother who’s determined to fix things—no matter how many disasters she causes. Meanwhile, a well-meaning teacher tries to rein in Betty’s dramatic outbursts, all while Archie remains blissfully unaware of the chaos he’s unintentionally sparked.

When the anti-littering campaign at Riverdale High hits a wall, a mysterious masked figure known as the Phantom Scribbler begins defacing the school—turning chaos into a surprising wake-up call.

When Alex tries to impress Josie by riding around with an inflatable girl, things take a magical turn when Alexandra uses her witchcraft to bring the dummy to life—leading to unexpected consequences neither of them saw coming.

When Little Archie and the Good Ol' Gang build a rocket from a barrel and a slingshot, they’re stumped—no one’s willing to take the trip to the moon. Ambrose, desperate to join the gang, volunteers on one condition: he’ll go if they promise he’ll be part of the group if he survives the journey.

When Reggie stumbles upon Jughead’s hidden talent for playing the clarinet, he sees an opportunity—and not just any opportunity, but one that could win Veronica’s heart.

When the Mad Doctor Doom unleashes a tornado machine to terrorize Riverdale and extort money from the town’s richest men, even the police dismiss Little Archie’s warnings.

In the silent humor of "The Silent Minority," Jughead sets out on a mission to satisfy his hunger after being denied a snack before dinner, navigating the world of school and town with nothing but expressive gestures and comedic timing. Without a single word, his antics and the reactions of those around him tell a story of appetite, persistence, and the universal struggle for a free bite.
