In "Who," Moose can't believe Midge chose anyone but him to debate, but his frustration turns to shock when her opponent outshines her in front of the whole school. The moment spirals into chaos as Moose grapples with jealousy, embarrassment, and the unexpected fallout of a debate gone wrong.

Archie’s always been the top of his Spanish class, but he’s never thought the language mattered—until a car accident brings a panicked father to school, and only Archie can bridge the gap between him and the injured boy. With the father’s life hanging in the balance, Archie must step up in a moment that proves language isn’t just about words, but connection.

With Jo watching in disbelief, Archie’s well-meaning efforts turn the classroom into a chaotic weather zone.

In "Pass-Word," Betty tries to deliver a secret message to Archie but has to dash off on an errand—so she hands it to Jo, who passes it to someone else, and the chain continues until Archie finally hears it, completely transformed by the time it reaches him.
