And while is appears that the crew is buying his smarmy act (really, Kevin [Casey Cott]? Swayed by free cupcakes?!), our Archie (K.J. Apa) is clearly not having it. In this exclusive clip from “Chapter Eighty-Two: Back to School,” the She-Wolf of Wall Street’s ex — who seems to have just finished a gym class with Rydell High’s  T-Birds — gives off some serious raised-eyebrow judgy vibes after being introduced to the the well-heeled control freak who has wed his one-time endgame.
