In "The Hair Hassle," Mr. Weatherbee finds himself at odds with the latest trend among the boys at Riverdale High—longer hair—and worries about how to handle the situation without stirring up trouble. When he asks Archie to mediate, the teen is caught in the middle of a school-wide style showdown he never saw coming.

When Archie and the gang grow fed up with litterbugs in Riverdale, they launch a clever prank: spreading the word that a mysterious billionaire will reward the town with two million dollars if its park stays clean. With the whole town suddenly motivated to pick up trash, chaos—and unexpected teamwork—ensue.

In "Dream Scene," Archie’s vivid dream of a mysterious platinum blonde sparks an unexpected obsession—only to find the same girl walking down the street, leaving him caught between memory and reality. The story unfolds with playful tension as Archie tries to reconnect with a stranger who feels strangely familiar.

In "The Nut Rut," Mr. Lodge stages a wacky race where cars are built to look like the snacks they’re promoting, and Archie and Reggie are in it to win the prize money—no easy feat when the competition is as nutty as the vehicles themselves.

In "Jolly Folly," Mr. Weatherbee surprises the students of Riverdale High by declaring a fad day—where wild trends old and new are not just allowed, but encouraged—turning the usual classroom chaos into a whirlwind of playful rebellion.
