Betty and Veronica bicker about the events of the weekend. Betty invites Cheryl to a hers-and-hers mani-pedi session, which Veronica had originally given her.

The pep rally is dedicated to Jason Blossom. Josie and the Pussycats perform "Sugar, Sugar" and as the team enters the field, Cheryl has a meltdown when she hallucinates Jason. Veronica finds and comforts her.

Betty and Veronica make amends and become friends again. They vow never to let a boy get between them again. Archie and Jughead end up at Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe too; Betty invites them over to join the booth too.

The police and Weatherby arrive during class to bring Cheryl in for questioning. She says that she's "guilty."

Through Jughead's voiceover, it's revealed Jason didn't die on his supposed date on July 4th. In reality, he died over a week later.

Moose: So, Saturday night...
Kevin: Listen Moose, you're hot. Yes. My type? Definitely. But you've got more demons than The Exorcist. We are all on the spectrum but my gay-o-meter says you should stick with what you know best...girls.

It's the path of least resistance, Kev. A week ago Veronica and I weren't friends. Next week, we'll nod to each other as we pass in the hall, but that's it. You know, in two weeks she won't even remember my name and in three, she'll have latched onto some other girl to destroy.
