Veronica and Archie try their hand at roller-skating, with predictably wobbly results. As they each take lessons from a charismatic instructor, their clumsy attempts at gliding soon turn into something more than just learning to skate—especially when the instructor’s charm starts to distract more than just their balance.

Betty Cooper has a date with Archie Andrews, but she knows Veronica Lodge will try to ruin it—so she enlists Jughead Jones to help stage a fake bowling outing with the whole gang. With a mix of misdirection and classic Jughead logic, Betty hopes to sneak off for a real date, but can even the best-laid plans survive the chaos of Riverdale’s most unpredictable crew?

When Hap spots Jinx chasing a runaway hat across a snowy field, he leaps in to help—only to end up plunging through the ice. The chase leads to a surprising reveal: the hat was meant for a snowman all along.

Laurie’s stuck studying for a history test, her evenings spent with books instead of fun—especially when Wilbur isn’t home to answer her calls. But when she finally discovers he’s been hiding outside her house all along, it’s not to sneak in, but to keep an eye on her. The quiet moment between them takes a sweet, unexpected turn.

Jughead Jones finds himself in a sticky situation when Mr. Weatherbee catches him snacking outside the lunchroom, leading to a punishment that sends him on a paper-delivery circuit through the school. With each teacher’s signature a step closer to freedom, Jughead’s hunger—and his cleverness—might just be the key to surviving the ordeal.
