Nothing sweet in Mr. Honey
Mr. Honey replaces Waldo Weatherbee as principal of Riverdale High School in time for Archie and the Gang's senior year. The first day of school Archie, Veronica, Betty and Jughead arrive late and Mr. Honey reprimends them. He has no idea how Weatherbee ran the school, but Mr. Honey takes care to warn the students that there will be a lot of discipline with him.

Later, Mr. Honey called Jughead to his office. Mr. Chipping, a teacher from the prestigious Stonewall Prep was impressed by an essay written by Jughead for a competition and offered him a place at the school. Mr. Honey says it's a great opportunity, but the boy declines the offer.

Cheryl Blossom and Toni Topaz welcome Mr. Honey by bringing a basket with groceries. The Principal thanks them and takes the opportunity to inform the two girls that the Back to School Ball is canceled. Cheryl is very outraged by this, but Mr. Honey is firm in his decision given the past murders committed in previous student dances and doesn't want to hear any replies. Not even when Cheryl justifies partying as a way to heal from traumatic events as happened to her with her brother Jason's death.

Mr. Honey is concerned by recent articles appeared on Rumordale about Veronica Lodge's alleged criminal activities. The girl denies any involvement.

When Cheryl decides to host the party at her house, Mr. Honey calls the police and complains about the noise, ending the party.

The next day at school, Mr. Honey comes face to face with Cheryl. The girl says that even though he is Mr. Honey, but she is the Queen Bee and he has no power over her. Later, Mr. Honey finds a huge honeycomb beehive with buzzing bees on his office desk. A declaration of war by Cheryl Blossom.
