Seven years later...
In total, fifty seniors of Riverdale High exploded that year. It was never decided if Veronica had exploded or not. She or her remains were never found. Some people believe she was abducted by aliens.
The birth of Betty's daughter, Juliet, wasn't what broke the curse. They found a cure, though. It's called graduating high school, because the moment the last of Betty's classmates took their diploma, Phineas Clark, someone who would have been a senior in the fall, exploded. Betty whipped the blood from her forehead and looked at the sky. She realized this was the universe's way of saying there, you beat me. Now I have to tournament another class of students.
Betty traveled the country, deciding to tell her story of what it was like being apart of the first exploding senior class. She wrote a book about her experience, and it became a New York Times bestseller. There was a TV mini-series starring Lilli Reinhart and Cole Sprouse, and there's going to be a movie about it coming out in December.
Betty now lived in Hawaii with her Juliet. She was working on getting a college diploma. She was still receiving a bunch of royalties from her book, so she was set for awhile.
Betty laid on the beach that was in her backyard. Juliet was playing in the water as Betty worked on her tan. She looked at the sky and smirked. She thought about after all of that she survived, and how she's going to continue to survive for years.
