I never imagined I'd get the chance to write for two of my favorite fictional characters -- especially not in such a fun setting (that even dealt with some real-world heaviness, too)," Rotante said. "I'm so grateful for the work I got to do alongside my amazing team of super-talented artists: Eva Cabrera, Jen Vaughn, Sanya Anwar, Elaina Unger, and Rachel Deering (plus a special shout-out to Matt Herms!) and all of the editorial and staff at Archie. I had a blast. I hope you all enjoyed the ride -- and keep your eyes peeled for more Betty and Veronica in the near future!" ARCHIE: No Geraldine, we have a secret. Multiple secrets, actually. And maybe we could’ve done something to help Jason that morning, or maybe we couldn’t have -- And I won’t tell anyone, anything -- but, you need to help me. This summer, the only that kept me sane was writing these songs. So, here’s my not-so-indecent proposal. I want to do an Independent Study with you, as many mornings a week as you can spare, and I swear: That’s all it will be. And I won’t tell anyone about July Fourth, ever -- deal?

But WE’RE WITH: Archie, stopping off to get some punch, before moving to talk with Ms. Grundy, who observes him discreetly] I get a mental turn-on from it. The mental high of dominating someone and making them submit to me is unlike anything else, and I get so much gratification out of feeling them melt like putty in my hands when I push them past what they thought they were capable of. In the student lounge, after Betty's sister Polly escaped from the group home her parents had hidden her away in to hide her pregnancy by Jason Blossom, Betty recounted to the group all that had happened with her sister. She became upset and Veronica noticed a moment between Betty and Jughead as he comforted her which Veronica later asked Betty about. Betty admitted there was something between them and Veronica was excited for her, approving of Jughead. She then joined the search party Betty and Jughead organized to find Polly, which was ultimately unsuccessful. BETTY: To buy a dress. Because, guess what? I'm also going to the dance with Archie – and with Veronica. Nothing is typical in this industry. I have the extremely wealthy to the average Joe, and I enjoy them both. When a client is in my dungeon, it really doesn’t matter to me what they do or who they are in the real world. All of that is left at the door and they get to become something they yearn for and crave, whether it’s to be a masochist, submissive, slave, prisoner, patient, etc. But the common thread is the need to be able to escape the normal day to day. Some people go to spas, amusement parks or the movies, others go to dungeons.

A body, in a white suit, is lying face up in the water. The camera then repositions to pan towards the head of the body, which we see is Jason – who has a gunshot wound just above the eyes. His mouth is open] Archie’s off, making his way towards Ms. Grundy. Before Betty can get too upset, she’s rescued by -- Kevin] CHERYL (CONT’D): So, what are you three hens gossiping about? Archie’s Efron-esque emergence from the chrysalis of puberty? BOY’S VOICE (behind them): A strip club called the Hoe Zone and a tragic gay bar called Innuendo -- Archie, with his guitar, experimenting with a new song. He plays some, then makes notes in a notebook by his side. Fred comes out, drinking a beer. Not angry, but something’s weighing on him.

Various shots of the extravagant yet dark interior are shown. The Pembrooke’s doorman, SMITHERS, in a uniform, approaches the two --] The things the trolls were writing...were true. I was like Cheryl -- I was worse than Cheryl. So, when my mom said we were moving to Riverdale, I made a pact with myself: To use this as an opportunity to become -- maybe, hopefully -- a better version of myself...BETTY: By seven minutes. And I was with Archie. Who has red hair, yes, but is nothing like Jason Blossom. FRED: I, uh, got a call from your Coach today. He’s under the impression that you can’t play Varsity Football because I’m making you work for me...
