The Coopers get a note saying that Betty has run off to join a hippie commune. Reggie and Veronica assume the letter is true, but Archie has faith in Betty and believes that she couldn't do anything as bad as that. He's right: it turns out Betty has been mistaken for Veronica (again) and kidnapped by the son of a disgruntled Lodge employee.; Veronica claims that Betty is crazy and dumb because she constantly fawns over Archie. Even Archie has to acknowledge Betty's insanity when she appears, seemingly out of nowhere, to fuss over him when he gets a slight injury.; Betty asks Archie to watch her nephew while she and Veronica go shopping.; At a carnival, Betty almost ruins her chances with Archie by doing better than him at all the games.; Betty's dad tries to get her to stop using the word "outasite."; Betty tries not to answer a phone call from Archie.
