In "Signal Success," Betty lends her heart to Archie—literally, when she wears Veronica’s borrowed brooch, unaware it’s secretly rigged to transmit a signal. With Veronica’s usual mix of friendship and mischief, the brooch sends out a beacon that leads her on a wild chase when it’s snatched by a curious hound and blown into the woods. Dan DeCarlo’s expressive art brings the playful tension to life, while Bob White’s cover captures the moment the signal goes live.

In "Signal Success," Betty’s date with Archie takes an unexpected turn when Veronica lends her a seemingly innocent brooch—only for it to double as a radio beacon, revealing Veronica’s behind-the-scenes surveillance. When the brooch flies out of Archie’s jalopy and into the paws of a curious hound, Veronica must follow the signal through some surprisingly awkward terrain, all while keeping her scheme under wraps.

In "Little Miss Fortune," Veronica throws a fit over her father losing $250,000—though he’s still worth millions—only to be met with teasing from her friends, who send a joke "care" package and show up at her party dressed in rags. Her dismay is met with amusement by her dad, who finds the whole situation delightfully absurd.
