Betty Cooper, post-triangle, is sinking, drowning, dying in perfection. She's way past point of no return, and if someone doesn't see her soon, there may be nothing left to save.
And then... Jughead Jones, delinquent and Betty's antagonizer, does a complete one hundred and eighty degree spin. And Betty learns she doesn't know how to live with or without him.
(In which Betty is breaking and she just knows that Jughead hates her- except he doesn't.)
