In "Cover Story," Jughead and Archie don masks to stay warm on a chilly school day, only to cause a stir when Jughead’s disguise spooks Miss Phlips. The panic escalates when the school’s principal and custodian, Mr. Weatherbee and Mr. Svenson, take the masks for themselves—just as the police show up.

Jughead’s endless drumming finally pushes Riverdale High’s faculty to their limit—until Principal Weatherbee stages an impromptu "Archies" concert just to keep the peace.
