The rivalry between Riverdale High and Stonewall Prep on Riverdale is pretty heated, and it looks like it's only going to get even hotter. After an intense football game in the last episode, the Riverdale Season 4, Episode 11 promo shows the two schools duking it out once again. Only this time, Betty is facing off against Bret in a battle of the minds.

In the latest episode of Riverdale, Betty (Lili Reinhart) was determined to figure out what shady operations Stonewall Prep had going on in order to maintain their football team's winning streak. She learned the team has a history of inflicting debilitating pain on the opposing team's players, which is why they often ended up winning. In the big game, Stonewall wound up beating Riverdale, but Betty was determined to take on the prep school in another way.

In a meeting with Principal Honey after the game, Betty decided she wanted to challenge Stonewall in a quiz bowl, and Honey gave her the green light to spearhead a Riverdale High team in hopes of besting their rival. However, based on the promo for the next episode, it looks like Betty's main Stonewall adversary, Bret (Sean Depner), is going to be even scarier in the quiz bowl arena than he was on the football field. In the promo clip, he tells Jughead (Cole Sprouse), "Win at any cost, always," with his signature creep-o smirk. That exact cost is still a mystery, but based on the intense look in Bret's eyes, Betty should probably watch out.

Riverdale tends to go all out, and this upcoming quiz team episode is no exception. The promo shows Betty on a quiz team alongside Veronica (Camila Mendes), Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch), and Toni (Vanessa Morgan). It's no ordinary high school quiz team: The Riverdale-Stonewall match takes place at the semifinals of a full-blown quiz show, complete with flashing lights and a charismatic host (because of course it does).

Betty has been suspicious of Bret for a long time, as have fans, since it seems like he might also be involved in whatever nefarious incident happens to Jughead during spring break. Perhaps fans will see the beginnings of that slippery slope in next week's episode.

Season 4 of Riverdale continues on Wednesday, Jan. 29, at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
