Veronica is trying to be nice and unbeknownst to her, befriends a classmate that her father’s illegal doings has hurt. Hermione is conflicted about telling Fred the truth. Meanwhile, Alice is ready to get revenge on the Blossoms once and for all with the help of her two daughters.

  • Downer Ending: Valerie breaks up with Archie, even after he tries to apologize to her.
  • Honor Before Reason: Not even a position at a prestigious music school is enough to keep Archie from leaving the Blossoms when he figures out what's really going on, especially since it's teased they used coercive means.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: Archie genuinely thinks the Blossoms wish to help him and Fred. He's wrong.

  • Ripping Off the String of Pearls: Veronica's pearl necklace was a gift from her father. When she finds out that Hiram and Hermione's dirty dealings have driven Ethel Muggs' family into bankruptcy and caused Mr. Muggs to attempt suicide, Veronica has finally had it with her parents' corrupt business practices. She dashes to the locker room so that no one will see her crying and tears off the necklace in a fit sorrow and disgust at her father's actions.
