Archie thinks his mother is babying him too much. Archie's father tells his wife to lay off the sentiment, but when she does, both she and Archie are unhappy.; When Archie sees Jughead with a big stack of Girl Scout cookies, he wonders why Jughead is buying so many. He and Reggie figure Jughead has a money-making angle, so they offer to buy all his boxes of cookies.; Veronica wants Archie's help with a meeting of the Wednesday Afternoon Ladies Guild, so Archie is hiding from her. Jughead makes a flowery speech about Archie snubbing Veronica when she needs help, which makes him feel ashamed and he goes to see Veronica. It turns out Veronica wants Jughead to speak before the group, so Archie makes the same flowery speech to Jughead to get his cooperation.; After Archie talks about how great an escape artist Harry Houdini was, Reggie claims to be an escape artist, too. Archie gets some chains and padlocks, but his father, a big Houdini fan, interrupts and has Archie put the chains on him instead.; Jinx invents an "instant mud pie" mix.; Humorous definitions for skeleton, buffet supper, bride, puppy love, and transparent.; Archie and Veronica are all alone--except for cousin Leroy.; On Leap Year Day the girls can kiss boys, so Jughead wears a catcher's mask as protection.
