In "Chore Score," Archie Andrews takes on the family chores when his mother, Mrs. Andrews, falls ill, discovering unexpected treasures in the couch cushions and a surprising stash of recyclables—just in time to turn housework into a money-making mission. With a little help from his dad, Fred Andrews, Archie learns that even the smallest tasks can add up, especially when the stakes are a little more than just cleaning the house.

When Mr. Weatherbee’s Citation suffers a flat tire and his bad back makes carrying it to the gas station impossible, Archie steps in with a classic teen-sized solution—only to find himself caught in a chain of escalating mishaps. With Betty, Veronica, and Pop Tate watching, the simple errand turns into a whirlwind of chaos, proving that even the smallest jobs can blow up in the most unexpected ways.

In "The Warm Up," Sock finds himself caught between his usual awkwardness and a sudden shift in his dynamic with Pepper, who’s been unusually cool lately.

Josie watches it all unfold with her usual mix of amusement and skepticism.

Josie, Pepper, and Melody find themselves caught in a lighthearted clash of wits when Melody’s playful malapropisms start appearing on the town walls.

Archie and Jughead roll out their camera for a fun, behind-the-scenes look at a typical day at Riverdale High, capturing the usual chaos of hallways, classes, and lunchroom antics.
