Mr. Weatherbee; Miss Grundy; Archie Andrews; Jughead Jones; Reggie Mantle; Betty Cooper
Archie isn't getting in trouble in school. Jughead explains that it's because Reggie isn't chasing Veronica, so Archie thinks he's up to something. Reggie explains that it's because Betty quit chasing Archie, so he can't get near Veronica. Betty explains that it's because of Mr. Weatherbee's speech about being satisfied with what you have. Mr. Weatherbee gives a speech to the school about ambition and everyone goes back to normal, with Archie in the principal's office again.

Jughead shovels snow from the sidewalk and throws half a bucket of ashes on the ice, to prevent slipping. He throws the other half of the ashes over the fence and it lands on a policeman. To prevent the problem recurring, Uncle Herman puts an awning over the sidewalk. The awning breaks and drops snow on the head of the same policeman. The policeman says he'll forgive if the sidewalk is clean of snow by the time he runs around the block. They spray it with hot water and the policeman slides on it when he comes in running. Herman puts himself in jail.
