History[]
In Season 1, Kevin hosts Veronica Lodge with Betty who was showing the high school around. He awkwardly asks questions about Hiram, Veronica's criminal father, which annoys the latter who understands that the whole school knows about it. He also meets the Serpent Joaquin DeSantos during a drive-in cinema session. Kevin joins Archie at his father Fred's construction site to help him work after Fred loses his employees. Later in the season, Kevin helps his friends solve the murder of Jason Blossom, Cheryl's brother. He discovers with them and with shock the video recording on which we see Jason's father Clifford murdering the latter.
In season 2, Kevin goes on nights out, which intrigues Betty and his father who wonders what he is doing. With Moose in his car, he is assaulted by the Black Hood who shoots Moose who barely survives. One evening, he goes out again to meet an unknown man and is surprised by Betty who is sad that he has not kept his promise to stop this habit. This reproach irritates Kevin who says that Betty has no idea how he feels and says that she believes his emotions are the same as hers.
Personality[]
Overall, Kevin is a sweet, caring, friendly teenager with everyone. Although outwardly jovial, he is very often insecure about his homosexuality, and acts recklessly as a result. He also has a very artistic and sensitive side.
