Sheriff Keller was planning to send the encrypted message sent by the Black Hood to a cryptologist in Centerville for further examination, though Alice informs him that she had already posted the encrypted message on The Register, so that all citizens could have the entire town working on it.[4]
Betty and Alice Cooper visited Centerville's Last Resort Youth Hostel to see Charles, her long-lost brother Alice was forced to give up for adoption. In Room 237, they meet a guy who introduce himself as "Chic". As they prepare to introduce themselves, he admits to already knowing who they are, as he was given their address after being kicked out by the Sisters of Quiet Mercy at the age of eighteen. He also admits to stopping by their house once before and shows resentment towards Alice and her pretty family. Unfortunately, the longer they stay, the angrier Chic becomes and he asks them to leave because he has a client for his "Fantasy Fulfilment" job on the way. In the parking lot, Alice cries out her sadness and is comforted by Betty.[5]
At the hostel, Betty rescued her brother Chic from a thug called Marcel, who wanted to force Chic to work even though he wasn't interested that evening and wounded Chic with a knife. However, Betty believes the whole situation was fishy and asked Kevin to help her discover the truth.[6]
Dwayne, a shady man involved in Chic's illegal activities in Centerville, arrives at the Cooper house to collect his money.[7] Alice gets rid of him, but Dwayne's girlfriend Darla manages to blackmail the Cooper family until the Serpents lead by Jughead drive off Darla and her thugs back to Centerville.[8]

After torturing Chic in the Cooper house's basement, they find out that it was an accident and that the real Charles was addicted to Jingle Jangle according to Chic.[9]
