“Race Around the World!” Part One.
The girls enter a race around the world one of those reality shows. Veronica we see does get easily distracted. Well, if in Paris Veronica will shop. She wants to win she just needs to focus.
“Race Around the World!” Part Two.
Well, Betty and Veronica are the most deserving team in the race. The ending does work out nicely yet differently then one might expect.
“Archie Crammin'”
Archie is one of a kind. He lives a life that most can only dream of. Studying techniques are just one of his many skills. Archie is always such a fun character.
