The girls insist that Jughead eats all the time out of frustration, while Archie thinks that he just eats "'cause he's hungry." To prove that the love of a good woman can cure him of his eating habit, the girls set Jughead up with the irresistibly sweet Lovey Laverne, and Jughead promptly falls in love with her.
