As a welcoming gesture to two new girls who just transferred to Riverdale High, Veronica and Betty agree to set them up with one time only dates with Archie and Reggie - - until they find out the Smith girls are gorgeous twins.; Dateless, Betty agrees to babysit for her Aunt Lucy. When she runs into Archie on the way and he asks her out (since Veronica dumped him), Betty invites him along on her babysitting job.; Betty helps Reggie play a prank on Veronica so she won't go to the dance with Archie.; Mr. Weatherbee assigns Archie and Reggie to rehabilitate his desk. Betty and Veronica would like to help, despite not knowing anything about carpentry.; Archie pays Jughead to write a love poem, and then gives it to Veronica claiming he wrote it. Veronica is so impressed that she demands Archie write her another poem - - while she watches.; Reggie tells Veronica he saw Archie escorting another woman. To his surprise, that only makes Archie more appealing to her.; Veronica insists on teaching Archie and Reggie croquet, but the collateral damage is too much for Mr. Lodge.; Archie gives Veronica a parrot trained to say "I love you". When Reggie hears of it, he decides to teach the bird a few other phrases.; Debby's Dad organizes a taffy pull as a low-cost form of entertainment for the kids.; Betty tries to bake a cake following the recipe being broadcast over television, with less than stellar results.; Veronica refuses to give Betty a picture of herself for the yearbook, since all the pictures have her wearing out-of-date fashions. So Betty gets hold of one of Veronica's baby pictures and decides to publish that.; Archie and Reggie pretend to be impressed by Veronica's new sunglasses as a joke, but she thinks they're serious. So does Betty, who promptly runs right out and buys a pair herself.; Veronica goes shopping for a birthday present for her father. She drags Archie along to buy the gift while she shops for clothes for herself.; In order to embarrass the girls out of the fad fashions they've taken to wearing, Archie and Reggie dress up in clothing from the Gay '90s.; Betty offers to use her dream interpretation book on a disturbing dream Miss Grundy had the previous night. The book forecasts Miss Grundy will have an accident.; Betty offers to type Archie's essay for English class. Archie accepts, then uses the free time to go out with Veronica.
