But when the renegade scientist behind the research discovers her, her investigation takes a terrifying turn—she becomes the next subject.

In "Animals Are People, Too! Part II," Betty, newly promoted to Consumer Affairs Reporter, follows a tip from Midge to investigate Skintek cosmetics—only to uncover hidden experiments on lab animals. When the renegade scientist in charge discovers her, her investigation takes a dangerous turn as she becomes the next subject.

In "Frame Game," Betty and Veronica team up—sort of—on a bowling alley outing with Archie, each pretending to be terrible at the game just to get his help. But when their act starts to unravel, the real question isn’t who’s the better bowler—it’s whether they’ll admit it before the pins are all down.

In "Decision Maker," Betty faces a seemingly simple but deeply personal dilemma: choosing which dress to wear to the school dance. She enlists Veronica’s help, turning the moment into a playful showdown as she models one dress and Archie lends his charm to the other.

In "Here Comes The Son" from Betty's Digest #2 (1997), Alice enlists Betty’s help—though not in the way she expects—when she asks her friend to invite Archie over to assist her father with house repairs. With a mix of reluctant charm and quiet determination, the trio navigates the awkward space between friendship, family duty, and the unspoken tension of growing up.

In "Read All About It," Betty discovers her neighbor Mr. Patterson is an adult who can't read—something he's kept hidden for years. Torn between respecting his privacy and wanting to help, she confides in Veronica, who springs into action with a plan that surprises even Betty.
