Betty and Calista were at the Stonewall Prep in Jughead's room, as he was explaining to them what happened this morning.

"I have to write the best damn Baxter Brothers novel these Stones have ever read by Friday, which coincidentally is the Ides of March. You know, Stonewall Prep celebrates the holiday by throwing a big blowout in the woods." Jughead stated as he walked around the room.

"There's no way that's happening, Jug." Betty denied. "I think I have an idea."

"Does it involve a lie detector?" Calista asked.

"Bingo." Betty confirmed.
