[ betty's just been in her apartment, going over a map of the city, deciding which places she wants to see when she gets this message.]
Jughead? What are you talking about? Is something wrong? [ she switches it to video; and he'll see that she's wearing something completely different: a sweater with jeans, her hair is pulled back in a neat ponytail, her makeup is soft and sweet unlike the dark hues she'd been rocking in the feed and there's no way she could have gotten changed that quickly.]
[ the change is stunning and jughead is severely confused for a moment. how did she manage to get dressed so quickly? and how does she not know what he's talking about? ]
Betty... But I just saw you-
[ she might be perfectly made up, but he's still a bit rumpled. his pants are still open and he's looking a bit wild. ]
You were just on the feed, stripping, and we...
[ wait. if she doesn't know anything about the whole spectacle, something is seriously up. ]
Check your feed. You'll see what I'm talking about.
[ she takes in his appearance and what he says and for a moment, she's confused, baffled. ]
Stripping...? [ she does as he asks her to, disappearing from their conversation for a moment before she comes back after a few moments.]
What... who is that? That... that isn't me, Jughead. I wasn't... [ she's mortified, clearly. the color has drained from her face..] I was just doing some research, I wasn't doing that.
[ he can see the way she's clearly embarrassed, not at all like the woman who'd been on the feed earlier. and he believes her when she says she's been doing research. that's more like the betty he knows. and though he'd rather liked the betty in the camshow, she simply doesn't hold a candle to the betty he knows and loves. ]
Okay, okay. It's all right. We'll get to the bottom of this. Clearly they're messing with us, so we just have to figure out a way to take it down. Do you want to do that?

video;
I want it down. That isn't... No one else should be seeing that. [ even if there's a part of her that gets a thrill.]
video;
It was kind of like phone sex, just you and me. But... when I was about to come, the feed cut out.
[ he's wincing, cheeks flushed by having to say that out loud. ]
We'll find a way to take it down. Try not to think about it too much.
video;
I've done something like that before.
