They think they've found a way in when they find a dog that the Colcash butler lost.; Betty has won a prize of ten kisses from Archie, which she can collect one at a time at any time she wants. Every time she collects a kiss, she turns into a drooling moron, so that some of her teachers think she's smart and others think she's stupid. This complicates matters when she's selected to represent Riverdale High in an inter-school debate.; To take his mother out on her birthday, Archie has to break a date with Veronica. Afraid to break the date, Archie tells Ronnie he's sick.

So the girls come up with a different way to lower Pop's costs.; Betty and Veronica overhear Archie and Jughead making nasty remarks about their cooking, and are determined to prove them wrong.; Betty tries to break up Archie and Veronica's skating date on the frozen pond by causing them to skate over thin ice.; Jughead makes a trek across town using every form of public transit.; Li'l Jinx washes up.; An argument is raging over whether Li'l Jinx is a "big mouth."; Betty makes a catty remark when Archie says that Veronica knows how to dress.; Betty thinks Veronica blabbed a secret to Midge.
