In most shows featuring a long-running love triangle, the “Archie” character would have to choose between the “Betty” and the “Veronica” and stick with just one of them. However, at the conclusion of season 5, when Kelly is faced with a decision to choose between Brandon (Betty) and Dylan (Veronica), her response is: “I choose me” with Kelly deciding to move on from them and focus on herself. While it’s mitigated by the start of season 6 with the introduction of her new boyfriend, it’s still a powerful and awesome moment for Kelly.
The reboot contains examples of:
Former-druggie-now-pregnant-teen Adrianna decides to broadcast the announcement of her pregnancy to the entire school instead of facing ongoing humiliation. The father of the baby (whose family tried to convince Adrianna to go away to have the baby in secret in New Mexico) is watching but then Adrianna ends the announcement with "as for the father of the baby...it was an immaculate conception".
When Annie has been cornered by someone trying to steal her inheritance from her, she secretly records him saying how much he hated his grandmother, knowing that would diminish his case.
