Betty and Me #173

In "Power Play," Archie's new aerobics routine with Betty takes an unexpected turn when Veronica, determined to steal his attention, convinces her father to get her on the same TV fitness show—dressed in aerobic tights, of course. The competition heats up as both girls go all out, turning a simple workout into a high-stakes game of charm and confidence.

Archie stumbles upon whispers about Betty’s mysterious "healing" powers, convinced she’s secretly practicing medicine after watching too much of her favorite soap, *Genial Hospital*. Now he’s scrambling to figure out if his friend is really a doctor in disguise—or just playing dress-up with a stethoscope.

In "Close Encounters," Betty’s accidental perfume spray at the mall sets off a chain of miscommunications when Archie ends up smelling like her scent—much to Veronica’s growing suspicion. As jealousy flares and accusations fly, the usual teenage drama takes an unexpected turn, all over a single spritz of fragrance.
