"I knew we shouldn't trusted you! You just like your father! Typical Lodge! All of you are the same manipulative, selfish, power hungry son of bitches! Like father, like daughter!" Calista Jones
"He started war with the wrong person, I don't care If...

Archie was finally back in Riverdale, and Calista was happy that her best friend was back, but he wasn't the same, he was different.
She was now at Pop's with Jughead, Betty, Veronica and Archie.
Pop's walked towards them with their drinks.
"Two chocolate, one mango, one vanilla and a root beer float for Archie." Pops said as he put the drinks down "Welcome home, son."
"Thanks, Pops." Archie thank him with a small smile.
"Since when do you drink root beer floats?" Betty asked as she gave her card to Pops.
"I'm guessing, I'm just not in the mood for a strawberry milkshake." Archie answered her.
"New drink, new hair." Jughead listed.
"New haunted vacant look in the eyes--" Calista finished her brother's sentence.
"Guys." Veronica cut them off "Archie just lived through The Revenant. Let him order what he wants."
"So what'd I miss when I was gone?" Archie asked us and they all glanced at each other.
"Well, thanks to the town quarantine orchestrated by my father, Pops was shut down and just reopened." Veronica explained. "And he's also been attacking shipments to the speakeasy. But thankfully, I've hired the Serpents as my full-time protection, and that service extends to you, Archie."
"You don't have to worry about Hiram's gonna come after you or Fred." Calista told him.
"You won't be able to see'em but we have guys watching you 24/7. And we have a possible lead that could diffuse this threat permanently." Jughead explained to him.
"What, Jug?" Betty asked.
"You can't tell anyone." Jughead warned as he leaned forward and Calista made sure nobody was listening or watching.
"Fangs is deep undercover in the Gargoyle Gang." She said in a low voice "He hasn't met the King yet, but He's still working on it and when we get access to him, we're gonna take him down."
"My bet is that it's Hiram underneath the mask." Jughead suspected, he then looked at Veronica "Sorry, Veronica."
"Don't be." Veronica dismissed "I wouldn't put it past him."
"Well, there goes studying for the SATS." Betty sighed.
"What?" Archie asked as he put his drink down "SATS?"
"Yeah, they're this Saturday." Calista informed him "I've been studing for them with Ace for months."
"Don't worry, Arch. Cali and I will help you study and get you caught up, okay?" Betty assured as she reached across the table "We all will."
Archie sighed and put his head back as Pops walked over to them.
"I'm sorry, Betty." Pops declined. "But your debit card was declined."
