[The gang arrives at the eighth location, discovering a table with needles, pills, and alcohol. Jughead is visibly shocked and haunted by memories of his troubled past with substance abuse.]
Jughead: (whispering) No, not this again. I thought I left it all behind.
[Another text from Hailey arrives, manipulating Jughead to take one of the substances and finish it.]
Hailey (text): Choose one, or your loved ones will suffer the consequences.
[Jughead, under Hailey's manipulation, reluctantly takes one of the substances, and Betty and Archie confront him.]
Betty: Jug, no! You can't let her control you like this.
Archie: We're here for you, man. You don't have to do this.
[Jughead, struggling with his decision, receives another text from Hailey, stating that the eighth clue is finished. Veronica reads the ninth clue.]
Veronica: "Where love bloomed and innocence faded." We need to keep going. We can't let her tear us apart.
[The gang, now burdened by Jughead's struggle, moves to the next location, determined to face the challenges and save Jay from Hailey's clutches.]
