After a botched perm ruins her hair, Betty has to buy a wig to wear to Veronica's party, and looks forward to speculation over whether or not it really is a wig. But when she gets there, Veronica has already told everyone about it.
With Betty's permission, Veronica yells at her so she won't take her anger out on Archie. Seeing an opportunity, Betty convinces all the other kids to be nice to Veronica so Ronnie won't have anyone to scream at except Archie.
