Betty #167

In "The Big Competition," Veronica’s wave-making machine in the Lodge pool becomes the unlikely centerpiece of a summer standoff when her house is overrun by Mrs. Lodge’s Garden Club—swimming, movie-watching, and generally taking over. With the beach waves underwhelming and the pool out of reach, Betty and Archie finally retreat to Betty’s house, seeking the quiet they’ve been missing.

In "Nothing to Do," Betty finds herself stuck with nothing to do until Veronica calls, dragging her into a whirlwind of errands—from cleaning out a cluttered closet to tackling a pool full of algae and rounding up a pack of energetic dogs. With Veronica’s usual chaos as the backdrop, Betty’s boredom quickly turns into a surprisingly busy afternoon.

In "Cloud 9," Betty finds herself soaring above Riverdale after a simple kiss from Archie—only to crash back down when she spots him with Veronica. A sweet, fleeting moment of flight gives way to a familiar ache, all in just five pages of heartfelt humor.

In "Falling Apart," Betty’s panic over a single falling leaf spirals into a full-blown dread of autumn—until a chance run-in with Nancy sparks nostalgic memories of summer’s joys. As the girls start imagining all the fun Fall might bring, Midge drops a bombshell about a teachers’ strike, threatening to upend their seasonal hopes.
