In "null," K.O. grapples with jealousy as he worries his boxing training might mean he’ll miss out on time with Randy—especially when Randy starts spending nights with Katy.

In "Surprise Package," Cricket O'Dell puts her peculiar talent—smelling money—to the test at the local flea market, where her freckle-faced curiosity leads her and Betty on a delightfully odd shopping adventure. With her nose leading the way, Cricket discovers just how useful (and hilariously unpredictable) her power can be.

In "Strange Love," Sabrina sets her sights on revenge when she catches Harvey with another girl—so she casts a spell on Archie, turning him into her devoted, smitten shadow.

In "Lawbreaker," Little Archie takes his role as traffic cop way too seriously, inventing absurd rules just to round up his friends—and turning the jail into a high-speed police car to chase down Ambrose, who's zooming through town in a go-kart.

In "Action Faction," the Riverdale cheerleaders are all energy and pom-poms, completely focused on outshining the rival squad—so much so that they don’t notice their football team is getting crushed 40 to nothing. Written by ? Kennedy, the story captures the chaotic charm of teen rivalry with a wink and a smile.

In "Fashion Victims," Ginger channels her creative frustration into a bold new idea: a high-stakes fashion show pitting Betty’s classic elegance against Veronica’s bold glamour, asking the question, "Are You a Betty or a Veronica?"

In "The Web Returns," the movie set becomes a high-stakes arena when three men vie for Katy’s attention, turning the production into a chaotic mix of danger and desire.
