Written and illustrated by Dan Parent, with inks by Jim Amash, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Teresa Davidson, the story follows Veronica and Betty as they land extra roles in the film, meeting the movie's leading actors and sparking a surprising connection when Jennifer recalls a long-ago romance tied to Veronica's family. The cover, also by Dan Parent, captures the playful, star-studded energy of the moment.
In "Star Treatment," Marcy strikes up a friendship with a former actress from a vintage sci-fi series, drawn in by shared nostalgia and the thrill of meeting a real-life star. As their bond grows, Veronica grows uneasy, sensing that the actress’s attention might be less about genuine connection and more about what she can gain from Marcy’s admiration.
When Alex fires Alan M. as the Pussycats' roadie after growing jealous of Josie’s admiration, the band’s tour takes a hilarious turn—now Alex must haul all their gear alone, discovering just how much brawn really is beautiful.
In "Riverdale High The Musical Act One," a surprise visit from alumna Jennifer Sparks—famous film director and former student—kicks off a whirlwind day at school when she announces she’s turning the high school’s drama into a full-blown movie. Veronica and Betty land roles as extras, rubbing shoulders with the film’s star-studded cast, while Jennifer’s unexpected recognition of Veronica’s name sparks a nostalgic flash from her own high school past.
In "Riverdale High The Musical Act Two," Veronica's over-the-top performance on set pushes Jennifer Sparks to the breaking point—so much so that Jennifer calls in her parents to rein in her co-star. When Veronica learns that Jennifer and her parents once shared a complicated trio in their high school days, the tension shifts into something even more awkward than the script called for. The musical wraps up with a surprise hit, leaving the cast and crew buzzing.
Betty and Veronica clash over whose dessert is the perfect cure for a sick Jughead, each convinced their treat is the only one worthy of his recovery. To settle the feud, they split up—Betty teaming up with Brigitte, and Veronica with Cheryl—each determined to prove their way is the sweetest.
