Recap / Archies Weird Mysteries Green Eyed Monster

---

• Bridal Carry: Played for Horror; Dorsia picks up Archie in her arms and carries him away to her lair.
• Cherry Tapping: Betty and Veronica decide the best way to get rid of Dorsia is...through spraying her face with hairspray.
• Composite Character: Invoked. Dorsa models her human disguise off traits taken from Betty and Veronica after overhearing Archie compliment them on those specific features.
• Crying Wolf: After suspecting Dorsa might be a monster, Betty and Veronica try to tell Archie, but he doesn’t believe this supernatural possibility due to how they’ve been behaving and thinks they’re still acting out of jealousy.
• Disapproving Look: Archie gives one towards Betty and Veronica when he learns of their attempt to dispose of Dorsia via the broom closet (which backfired due to her superhuman strength).
• Double-Meaning Title: The "green-eyed monster" refers both to Dorsia and to the jealousy that Betty and Veronica feel seeing this newcomer hanging around Archie.
• Exact Words:
  Archie: What are you two up to?
  Veronica: Uh, the fifth branch?
• Eye Scream: Betty and Veronica defeat Dorsa by spraying hair spray at her face, causing her to retreat into the waters to clean it off.
• Fetish: Dorsa is a sea monster obsessed with red-headed men, as shown when she tells Archie about all of her previous "husbands."
• If I Can't Have You…: Implied; when Betty and Veronica arrive on a rescue mission, Dorsia tells them to back off, or Archie will never write another of his columns.
• Noodle Incident: Betty rather bluntly mentions that Dorsa broke every swimming record held by Riverdale High in one day. We're never shown this on screen.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Archie gives one towards Betty and Veronica after their second attempt to humiliate Dorsia via giant cream pie backfired, which makes him lose his patience with them.
  Archie: You know, this is really starting to cheese me off. You two have been acting like this for years: jealous, jealous, jealous!
  Betty: Just to each other.
  Archie: No, now it's against Dorsia. Well, I'm going to teach you both a lesson. Dorsia, will you go out with me to the beach party down at Pelican Cove on Saturday. (After Dorsia says "yes") Great! Now, no more jealous stunts.
• Rivals Team Up: Betty and Veronica really did one themselves for this episode.
• Third-Option Love Interest: Dorsia makes herself this for Archie.
