In "Schoofball, You Bet!", Belzack, the commanding leader of the mind-linking Meltusian race, challenges Pop Tate to a high-stakes game of Schoofball, pitting Archie and his friends against the alien team in a showdown that’s as much about pride as it is about play.

When Archie and his friends catch the premiere of the blockbuster monster film *Frogzilla*, they’re thrilled—until Jughead’s appetite proves even more fearsome than the movie’s titular beast.
