Here's how Archie describes the issue:
"'The Matchmakers Part 3': After 'setting up' Jughead and Sandy, matchmakers Archie, Betty, Reggie and Veronica are surprised at how well their plan is working. Especially when studious, athletic Sandy starts neglecting both her studies and her girls' softball team in favor of spending time with Jughead. Make that Forsythe, as he now prefers to be called. Exchanging his trademark crown hat for a typical baseball cap, it seems like Sandy is having quite the influence on the once unique soul. Unless of course it's all a big put-on. The gang isn't so sure when they see how well Jughead and Sandy interact as partners in the couples' competition at the school picnic! Itšs another intriguing chapter in this 4-part epic! Plus: Other new and classic tales! Bonus: Puzzles, games and pin-ups!"
