Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #322

In "Ticked Off," Betty finds herself in a frantic race when a mysterious ticking package meant for Mr. Weatherbee ends up in her hands. With Riverdale High’s pool off-limits to girls on “boy’s day,” she hands it to Archie, who tosses it in—only to reveal the real culprit: a cuckoo clock Mr. Weatherbee had ordered. When the clock finally springs to life, chaos ensues, proving that even the calmest office wall can become a ticking time bomb.

In "Fast and Loose," new girl Cheryl Blossom hits Riverdale with a confidence that leaves Archie and Reggie flustered, much to Betty’s surprise—and Veronica’s fury when she catches Archie in a sticky situation. Just as things get tense, Cheryl’s older brother Jason shows up, stealing Veronica’s attention in an instant. Meanwhile, Jughead steps in with his legendary "magic pin," turning the tide in Archie’s favor—though not in the way anyone expected.

In "Heavy Date," Archie’s world spins when he overhears Mr. Lodge call Veronica’s choice of him a consolation prize—only to find Betty isn’t thrilled either, having been second to Archie in her own heart. With both girls left without dates, they unexpectedly bond over a shared love of jazz and head to a concert together. Meanwhile, Archie, forced to admit he’s not as untouchable as he claimed, ends up going to the show with Jughead.

In "Moanin' Low," Betty’s gloom takes center stage as she wrestles with life’s big questions—much to the chagrin of her friends. When Archie and Veronica try to lift her spirits with a party, even that fails to shake her melancholy, leading to a surprisingly messy, no-holds-barred prank from Veronica, Archie, and Jughead.
