Before doing that, however, he returns dwelling to Riverdale for his high schoolhouse reunion and save his friend Popular Tate's diner.
Archie and company are all now in their early thirties, with the trials and tribulations one might await to take happened to such a group over the years:
- Betty, a grade schoolhouse teacher, has had problems finding permanent employment, and is constantly bossed around by a crummy swain named Robert.
- Veronica, having lived in France since graduation, has been married (and divorced) four times to very wealthy men.
- Jughead, now a successful psychiatrist, is also divorced (although simply in one case), and now has sole custody of a son named Hashemite kingdom of jordan. Due to the divorce and other failed relationships, Jughead carries emotional baggage that manifests itself in a terrible fear of women. (A running gag in the movie is Jughead's agony to avoid seeing Big Ethel during his visit to Riverdale.) This is played for laughs at the end when at the reunion it turns out that Big Ethel is no longer the gangly, awkward teenager she once was but is now a striking beauty and withal has a crush on Jughead.
- Moose and Midge have gotten married and get chiropractors. They likewise have a son, Max, who hits it off with Jordan.
- Reggie is a successful gym owner and owns a machine lot.
When Archie sees Betty and Veronica for the first time in fifteen years, all his former feelings for them come up flooding back, threatening his appointment—and information technology doesn't help that the girls renew their pursuit of Archie, daydreaming of the fact that he has a fiancée. Meanwhile, Archie also tries to keep Reggie, helped forth by an uncharacteristically menacing Mr. Lodge, from evicting Pop Tate from his soda store, under the pretext of expanding his gym. Hiram Lodge doesn't want Archie nearly Veronica and all the same thinks they are wrong for each other. Archie ultimately saves the Chock'lit Shoppe, though he loses Pam in the bargain, and decides to stay in Riverdale. Veronica, Betty, and Jughead decide to motion back to Riverdale every bit well. Reggie sees the error of his ways and reconciles with his friends.
