Betty’s pride in her handmade writing desk takes a hit when Veronica mocks it as a modern knockoff. Jughead, ever the prankster with a soft spot for Betty, hatches a plan to turn her desk into a convincing antique—just to see Veronica squirm.

The trio’s usual antics take a wild turn as they scramble to escape the unexpected beast in the dark.
