Betty: I could ask you the same thing!
Kiss of Distraction: Joaquin kisses Archie to catch him off guard so he can stab Archie.

Undercover as Lovers: Reggie and Veronica pose as a rich couple to get into the boxing match.
Wham Line: The Warden asking Veronica and Reggie what happened to the Red Paladin, showing that the influence of the Gargoyle King goes farther than initially realized.
You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: The reactions of the gang hearing about the exploits of their parents in the previous episode.
