Pep #2

In "The Son Also Rises!", Fred jumps to conclusions when Mrs. Andrews claims she hasn’t seen Archie all day—only to discover Archie’s been quietly handling chores at home, proving he’s more than just a prankster. The story captures a lighthearted moment of misunderstanding and unexpected responsibility in the familiar world of teenage life.

In "Par Pa," Archie’s golf swing goes wildly off course when he hits a ball through Mr. Lodge’s window—just as he’s about to take his shot. The only thing saving him from a scolding is that the ball knocks Mr. Lodge unconscious, leaving the scene in stunned silence.

In "Sweat for the Sweet," Wilbur enlists Linda to wrap a box of chocolates for Laurie, but she secretly spices them with hot peppers. When he sends Slats to deliver the gift, the prank backfires in hilarious fashion as Slats takes the credit—and the blame—when Laurie’s reaction turns fiery.

In "Rabbit Transit," Jughead is cast as a rabbit in the gang’s charity play—only to find himself trapped in the costume when Archie claims the zipper is stuck, even though it isn’t. With hours to spare before the show, Jughead dashes off to run his mom’s errands, sending the entire town into a panic as everyone assumes a giant rabbit is on the loose.

In "Raffles," a young man named Bill can't say no to a pretty face—especially when she's selling raffle tickets. After buying them on a whim, he's thrilled to learn he's won a car, only to find the ticket book in the hands of Jinx, who sold it to Bobo to recoup some lost money. When Bill tries to reclaim the tickets, things take a turn for the worse, leaving him in the hospital after Bobo's dad catches wind of the prize and assumes the worst.
