"How's your boxing career these days, Archie?" Veronica asks as we sit in the student lounge.

"Your pal Elio is organizing a boxing event called the Gilded Gloves." Archie tells us.

"Go on." I tell him.

"I was thinking, maybe one of you could help get the El Royale crew a spot in the tournament. The guys could use a win, or at least a boost after what happened to Baby Teeth." Archie tells us.

"Let us see what we can do." Veronica tells him.

"Good morning, my dear Riverdale High constituents and comrades. A lot of you have been asking about the Farm's Student Advocacy group. Well, here' the skinny. Sign-up sheets are posted throughout the school. The club is open to all students. Where the one become many, and the many become one. So, uncap those pens, sharpen those pencils, and sign up. A little birdie told me it's what all the cool kids are doing." Cheryl says over the intercom and then we see her walking down the hallway with Fangs, Kevin and Evelyn as they all wear all white.

"Invasion of the Body Snatchers continues." Jughead tells us.

"So, let me get this straight, the reason Cheryl is all-in on the Farm is that she gets to see and talk to Jason?" Veronica asks.

"Yeah. My mom's entirely convinced that she's seeing and talking to Charles, her long-lost son." Betty tells us and Veronica scoffs as I laugh humorlessly.

"What if you prove that Charles was dead? I mean, your mom's lost touch with reality, so maybe the best way to snap her out of her delusions is with a harsh dose of truth. Like, prove that Charles is dead. Or basically anything that will refute these fantasies that Edgar Evernever is spinning." Jughead tells her.

"Veronica and Quinn Lodge, don't suppose I need to tell you this is a men's steam room." Elio tells us as we walk over to him wrapped with a towel around us.

"We came to talk business." I tell him as we sit next to him.

"We want to get in on the Gilded Gloves." Veronica tells him.

"You both don't know the first thing about boxing." Elio tells us.

"You'd be surprised by what we know about hot, shirtless, muscular bruiser." I tell him.

"Starting with Archie Andrews. If memory serves, he almost beat your prizefighter, Randy Ronson." Veronica tells Elio.

"Archie's a bum, and bums have no place in my tournament. Now get the hell out of my steam room." Elio tells us.

"Fine. But you remember this." I tell him as me and Veronica stand up.

"Remember we tried to keep things civil." Veronica tells him and then we walk out.

"And we are live in three, two, one...this is Alice Smith, and I'm here with Veronica Lodge, Quinn Lodge, promoters of the Southside's El Royale Boxing Club. Veronica, Quinn, would you like to tell us about your latest business venture?" Alice asks as we stand behind the camera next to Archie.
