In "Teamwork Trounce," Reggie’s self-centered antics on the baseball field finally push Coach Kleats to bench him—just as Mr. Weatherbee steps in, demanding Reggie’s return since the team’s winning streak began with him in the lineup. The clash between school authority and team discipline sets up a classic Riverdale-style showdown where pride, performance, and the real meaning of teamwork are put to the test.

In "Swell Guy," Jughead hatches a mischievous plan to help Reggie bulk up—using sponges hidden under his sweater. When a sudden downpour forces Reggie to "flex," the water squirts straight into Veronica’s face, leaving her soaked and unamused.

In "Serf Turf," Reggie’s latest school fundraiser turns chaotic when students volunteer to be flunkies for a day—offering their services in exchange for donations. Betty and Archie are roped in by Veronica and Reggie, only to find themselves the center of a bidding war as others vie to claim them as their personal assistants for the day.

In "Money Hungry," Jughead’s insatiable appetite for Choklit Shoppe treats puts him at odds with the rest of the gang, who threaten to boycott unless Pop Tate stops serving him. When Pop Tate refuses to give in, Jughead makes a bold move—offering the gang free ice cream, only to reveal he’d bet them he could get Pop to do just that.

In "It's All So Involved," Bingo stumbles upon a boy fleeing his home, and despite Samantha’s caution, she can’t resist stepping in—just as her quiet life starts to spiral into something far more complicated than she bargained for.

In "Shake n' Bake," Mary entrusts Archie with delivering her cake to the bake sale, but when the duo accidentally drops it, they’re left scrambling to whip up a replacement—leading to a hilariously messy attempt at baking that’s as chaotic as it is classic. Written with the trademark humor of the era, this six-page gem captures the kind of lighthearted, misadventure-filled moments that define Archie’s world.

In "Diet Riot," Archie tries to help Mr. Weatherbee shed a few pounds by introducing him to fun, active pursuits—only to watch each one end with Mr. Weatherbee finding a snack. When a misstep leads to an injury and a hospital stay, the principal is finally stuck on a forced diet, much to his dismay and the town’s quiet amusement.
