In "News Blues," Eugene puts pressure on Archie Andrews to cover a story for the school paper, but with his usual obliviousness, Archie stumbles into something far bigger—literally. When he accidentally collides with two fleeing vandals who’ve just set off a stink bomb, the chaos leads to their capture and Archie being hailed as a hero, much to everyone’s surprise.
