Mr. Weatherbee is concerned about the campers who aren't eating.; Betty helps Veronica to get ready for a fancy ball. But when she borrows one of Veronica's gowns and goes to the ball to give Veronica an important plaque, it's literally a Cinderella story as Betty becomes the hit of the ball and then takes off at midnight.; An escaped boa constrictor has gotten into the Andrews home.; When Betty finds out Archie wants her to bring her grill over to his house so he can barbecue for Veronica, she loads it with fuel from Archie's car.; Veronica reluctantly invites Jughead to her party for a young Indian prince.; Reggie sets up an elaborate ruse to wrangle a date with Veronica.; Reggie repeatedly tempts fate by not obeying traffic and pedestrian safety rules.; Archie tries to beat the soaring mid-'70s inflation by going on cheaper dates, but cheap dates with Betty or Veronica just wind up costing him more money.; Jughead becomes a gigolo, not only dating any girl who pays him but disguising himself as any type of man they fantasize about. He takes on Reggie as a junior partner in the business, but Reggie can't resist trying to make some trouble for his new boss by signing up Midge for Jughead's services and tipping off Moose about it.; After a farmer's daughter saves him and Jughead from a bull, Archie sees the opportunity to impress her with his big-city ways.; In a tale set in the far future, Betty and Veronica use their small shuttle craft to outwit and defeat an invading alien strike force and protect Earth's moon base.; Betty and Veronica demand to be hired as lifeguards at the beach.; Betty and Veronica are worried that they're getting "broad in the beam," so they put themselves through various unpleasant experiences to lose weight -- only to discover that the boys prefer girls who aren't skinny.; Archie makes the mistake of guessing another girl's name when Veronica plays peek-a-boo with him. But her jealousy really ratchets up when a girl actually named Sylvia shows up looking for Archie.; Bingo and Samantha laugh at their fathers' belief in old wives tales.; Jughead tells the guys the story of the invention of basketball.; Betty repeatedly hires Archie to mow her lawn, so as to keep him to herself. Veronica trumps her by seizing control of Archie's mower with a remote control device.; Betty impresses the boys with her great throwing arm, but Veronica gets more results by throwing very badly.; Archie breaks a neighbor's picture window while playing stick ball in the street.; Li'l Jinx tries to negotiate a loan from her father.
