Jughead decides to follow in Mr. Lodge''s footsteps by creating a list of goals he simply must accomplish in his lifetime. But can Jughead cram a lifetime of goals into one week the way he''s crammed down a lifetime of burgers in one sitting?

Talk about a bad connection - it''s a ''Two Ring Circus'' when Veronica gives Archie one of her father''s prototype phones, even though the matching phone is Mr. Lodge''s! To get out of a jam with Veronica, Archie asks Jughead to take the blame, and ''The Blame Game'' begins when the deal is doomed to failure! Mr. Lodge has to think ''Outside the Box'' when he enters the toy business and discover kids almost always love the box the toys comes in best! Finally, Dilton tries to give Archie the ink blot test, but when his cards are replaced with photos of Veronica, he thinks Archie is certifiably obsessed!

''In the Family,'' Part 1. When Jughead moves in with Archie, he not only brings Hot Dog but he brings all the problems that made him leave his own home! How will Mr. Andrews react to losing his favorite chair to a dog and having a freezer full of dog treats that he accidentally eats?

"The Jug Who Came In From The Cold!" Jughead has burned a few bridges in his ongoing search for a place to lie his head which leads him to his last resort! Reggie invites Jughead to crash at his place in an attempt to alter his image after a girl turns him down for his bad rep. But will the unlikely duo be able to work past their trust issues and make their living arrangement work?

We all know Jughead is known for one thing and one thing only, and that''s food! But in ''The Sisterhood of the Traveling Jughead,'' we discover that the guys want other information from Jughead! Since moving in to a house with all women, the guys want to know everything about girls!

"The Sound and the Fury": Dilton invents a device to help Archie locate his car with an audio signal... and Jughead promptly swallows it, mistaking it for a mint!

"The House-Warming": A nice, quiet, comfy new doghouse for Hot Dog is tempting to Jughead as a new napping spot! "Jughead Stuck in the Doggie Door": With a title like that, need we say more... other than don''t miss one of the funniest Jughead stories yet!

"Scrap Flap": Veronica has no interest whatsoever in Betty''s new scrapbook hobby... until she meets the hunky scrapbook expert at the craft shop! "Dancing Fool": Inspired by a classic beach party movie, Veronica comes up with her own dance step guaranteed to make you flip... literally!

"Later Than You Think": Archie learns life is about trade-offs.

"Beach Blanket Babysitters": A day at the beach is no picnic for Veronica - literally - when Betty brings along Jughead''s sister Jellybean!

Then in ''Information Please'', Jughead''s knowledge saves Ms. Beazly by knowing the secret ingredient in her special dish, Fiesta a la Beazly!
