In "Love & War," Josie and the Pussycats face a mystery when Valerie suddenly departs before a big show, citing a sick grandmother—only to leave her bandmates suspicious. With Melody and Alexandra stepping in to fill in, the girls piece together clues that suggest Valerie’s exit might be tied to a romantic entanglement at the very club they’re set to perform at, all drawn in the classic style of Dan DeCarlo’s cover and DeCarlo’s interior art.
