Veronica is back in town following Archie, Vol. 3, and Archie is trying to make up for lost time. However, their relationship has not improved since Mr. Lodge sent Veronica to Switzerland, and they need to work hard to reset. Mr. Lodge is still determined to crush this awkward couple, and he organizes the first ever Riverdale's Teen Achievement Award to present suitable dating material to his daughter.

Jughead has overextended his credit with Pops, and he convinces the restaurant's owner he can be a great server. He undermines the customers' choice, ordering them what they should get, instead of what they want.

Cherry Blossom and her twin brother are now stuck in Riverdale, and wonder why their father pretends to be poor. Under relentless questioning, the man reveals that he's in fact not their real father. The twins' universe is upended, and they begin searching for answers on what is really going on.

Betty continues to observe from the sidelines, pinning for the redhead who's fascinated with Veronica. She and Dilton head to a car show, where they both show their mechanical knowledge. She also continues to work on Archie's 1969 Mustang, a car they first began tinkering with when they were both 8 years old.

Meanwhile, Reggie Mantle ribs Archie one too many times, and now the car that he and Betty have worked on for years is the wager. A drag race will determine who gets to keep the car, but the race will end in tragedy ...
