☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Sand-Wishes!", Betty and Veronica stumble upon a mysterious bottle on the beach, unleashing Jennie the genie with a trio of wishes at their disposal. Their excitement quickly shifts when Jennie sets eyes on Archie, setting off a whirlwind of playful magic and unexpected tension.
In "In a Blue Vein," Veronica takes the lead on making blue the season’s must-have hue, turning the beach into her personal runway. With Archie by her side, she strikes a pose—only to find the photographer’s lens has a surprising favorite: Reggie.
Veronica convinces Archie to take her to the fair, only to feel left out when Betty arrives with a date and seems to be having more fun. As the night unfolds, old rivalries spark in the midst of carnival lights and shared memories.
When Mr. Lodge tries to distract Veronica from her crush on Archie by assigning her to overhaul the mansion's landscaping, she takes the task to extremes—transforming the yard into a sprawling, meticulously crafted portrait of Archie himself. The result is both a hilarious display of teenage obsession and a surprisingly detailed garden masterpiece.
Betty tries to keep her hair flawless for a party at Veronica’s, but when the entire group dives into the pool, her carefully styled look is put to the ultimate test. With classic teen chaos and a splash of humor, the day turns into a lighthearted mess neither girl could have predicted.
When a former soap opera writer trades Hollywood drama for a quiet life in Riverdale, he hopes to leave the over-the-top plots behind. But his peace is immediately tested when he bumps into Veronica—whose own life seems to run on a script of its own.
In "A Snappy Report," Archie’s playful rubber band shot takes an unexpected dive when it sends Veronica tumbling into the pool—only for her to return fire, sending Archie crashing into Betty and then joining her in the splash. The chaos unfolds in five quick, sharp pages of classic teen mischief.
When a flashy new pizza parlor starts drawing crowds with its glamorous delivery girls, Betty and Veronica decide to take matters into their own hands—offering to deliver orders for Pop Tate’s, turning the neighborhood’s favorite hangout into a competitive delivery hotspot.
In "Fight Blight," Archie and Reggie’s endless rivalry heats up near Veronica’s pool, prompting Veronica to send them inside to watch TV—only to find them still at each other’s throats. Betty remarks on how the boys can be a bad scene, but Veronica’s attempt to keep peace only leads to more chaos as the duo continues their squabble while supposedly choosing a channel.
