Eavesdropping:
In today’s episode, Archie and Jughead want to see a movie. Archie comes home to ask his dad for money, but he and Jughead overhear Archie’s parents discussing a serious situation. They're talking about money...and they don't seem to have any! Archie can't believe what he's hearing. They eavesdrop for a while. Something terrible must have happened, but Archie can't imagine what it was.
Brainstorming:
He pulls himself together, getting over the shock enough to start brainstorming. He's thinks of all the ways he could help his family with their financial problem. Some ideas are better than others. That's what brainstorming is like. It is a process of generating ideas without judging them so that your brain will keep coming up with new ideas. They say 'two heads are better than one', but I really don't think Jughead helps Archie much. He misunderstands what Archie means because he can't follow Archie's logic. But finally, Archie thinks of something that he's sure will work.
