In "The Fortune Teller," Little Archie stumbles upon a curious encounter on a park bench when a mysterious stranger offers him tomorrow’s newspaper—just in time to help him land a job as a reporter. With Mr. Penbinder watching closely and Joey nearby, Archie’s luck takes a surprising turn, but the real mystery is just beginning.
In "The Report Card," Little Archie schemes to sneak out on a date with Veronica by faking illness to avoid his report card—only for Reggie to offer to deliver it himself.
