27 1 "The Night the Clown Cried" Curt Geda Mitch Watson March 30, 2012 (2012-03-30) (Cartoon Network Video)
July 30, 2012 (2012-07-30) (TV) June 2, 2012 (UK)
Following the disbandment of Mystery Incorporated, Mayor Fred Jones Sr.'s successor Mayor Janet Nettles is approached by a mysterious figure (who later

turns out to be Velma). She shows the mayor files on her fellow mystery-solvers in order to seek their help in bringing down Crybaby Clown, who is

terrorizing Crystal Cove. Mayor Nettles sets out immediately to retrieve Scooby-Doo and break him out of the pound he is in. Scooby then helps Shaggy

escape from military school and together they find Fred (who now has the appearance of a hobo) and the three return to Crystal Cove. Velma joins them and

together they go to bring Daphne back, but she refuses their offer. Fred comes up with a doughnut shop-themed trap in order to trap out Crybaby Clown. The

trap doesn't work and Crybaby Clown escapes using one of his bottle bombs to blow up Chen's Fireworks. Fred is depressed that the villain escaped and

states that Mystery Incorporated won't be the same since Daphne is never coming back.

Villain: Crybaby Clown

Note: Daphne's new boyfriend, Baylor Hotner, is a parody of actor Taylor Lautner and his success in the Twilight film saga. Velma's action and a throw-

away line in this episode are similar to those of Rorschach of the Watchmen comic mini-series by Alan Moore. Crybaby Clown's speech at the town hall

meeting (after he rakes his nails across a chalkboard) parodies the scene from Jaws in which the shark hunter Quint, played by Robert Shaw, makes his

first appearance.

28 2 "The House of the Nightmare Witch" Victor Cook Adam Beechen July 31, 2012 (2012-07-31) June 3, 2012 (UK)
Velma and Hot Dog Water are discovered to be working for Mr. E and are going on missions for him; here they go to Russia to retrieve a piece of the

Planaspheric Disc from an old house, but when they are stopped by the guard and the nightmare witch Baba Yaga comes to life and attacks them, they buy the

house and bring it to Crystal Cove, where the house springs chicken legs and rampages around town. Meanwhile, the gang are looking to replace Daphne and

Velma suggests Hot Dog Water, who is out on parole for helping to make the jail more cruel and unforgiving.

Overarching Mystery Clue: The third piece of the Planispheric Disk.

Villain: Baba Yaga/Curator Vronsky

29 3 "The Night the Clown Cried II - Tears of Doom!" Curt Geda Michael F. Ryan August 1, 2012 (2012-08-01) June 4, 2012 (UK)
Fred tries to get Daphne back while Crybaby Clown returns to rob Crystal Cove, kidnapping a therapist, a hairdresser, a plastic surgeon, a publicist, and

Daphne as well. The gang chase Crybaby Clown to an airport where he is about to take off with the five captives but is stopped by Mystery Incorporated and

they solve the mystery. Daphne agrees to return to the gang upon learning who Crybaby Clown is. Meanwhile, Mr. E tries to recruit Angel Dynamite back with

him but she turns him down claiming she is no longer her alter ego and is just plain Cassidy Williams.

Villain: Crybaby Clown/Baylor Hotner

30 4 "Web of the Dreamweaver!" Victor Cook Benjamin Townsend August 2, 2012 (2012-08-02) June 5, 2012 (UK)
With Daphne back on the team, Hot Dog Water is removed as a member. Meanwhile, a creature called the Dreamweaver starts haunting people's dreams,

hypnotizing them into giving up possessions nearest their hearts. In an effort to stop him, the gang teams up with Sheriff Stone, who, like those who have

been attacked by the Dreamweaver, is a closeted Crypts and Creatures enthusiast, having invented the Dreamweaver in his youth.

Villain: Dreamweaver/Horbert Feist

Note: This is a parody of A Nightmare on Elm Street (Dreamweaver's power), Dreamscape (the fact that Dreamweaver invades people's dreams with a machine),

and Labyrinth (the labyrinth in every dream sequence and Dreamweaver's crystal ball). Dreamweaver resembles both Freddy Kreuger and Jareth, as well as

Dream from The Sandman. Also, the role-playing game featured in this episode, Crypts and Creatures, is a parody of Dungeons and Dragons. The jokes about

Crypts and Creatures being addictive may be a reference to the anti-gaming film Mazes and Monsters.

31 5 "The Hodag of Horror" Curt Geda Roger Eschbacher August 3, 2012 (2012-08-03) June 6, 2012 (UK)
A creature called the Hodag of Horror attacks Crystal Cove. Meanwhile, Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves (Fred's real parents) have suddenly appeared along with

a dog named Nova whom Scooby has taken a fancy to. At the end, the original Mystery Incorporated are called together by none other than Pericles who has

an unknown proposition for them that involves the new Mystery Incorporated.

Overarching Mystery Clue: The fourth piece of the Planispheric Disk.

Villain: Hodag of Horror/Roberto the Monkey (under the control of Ned Fussbuster via ringing bells)

32 6 "Art of Darkness!" Victor Cook Benjamin Townsend August 6, 2012 (2012-08-06) TBA
Crystal Cove welcomes artist Randy Warsaw, who presents his latest work in the Art Museum, entitled "Junk." However, this latest work comes to life and

attacks patrons of the museum, swallowing members of Warsaw's entourage and working staff and turning them into gold statues. The gang is asked by Mayor

Nettles to solve the mystery so the Art Museum can be saved, but this becomes easier said than done as the gang are employed as part of Warsaw's exhibit,

leaving Daphne to work the case alone. After solving the case, the gang receives a radio broadcast from Cassidy Williams warning them of the evil that

resides in Crystal Cove.

Villain: "Junk"/Butch Firbanks

Note: Randy Warsaw is a parody of modern artist Andy Warhol. The band Sunday Around Noonish is a parody of the band The Velvet Underground while Butch

Firbanks and Eeko are respectively parodies of Velvet Underground members Lou Reed and Nico.

33 7 "The Gathering Gloom" Curt Geda Marly Halpern-Graser August 7, 2012 (2012-08-07) TBA
A Graveyard Ghoul attacks in the middle of Mayor Nettles' Horror Movie Night, forcing the gang to investigate. However, Fred and Shaggy are smitten with

three beautiful girls who have just immigrated into Crystal Cove, and Daphne has eaten some of their mother's homemade chocolate and become addicted,

leaving Velma and Scooby alone to solve the mystery. Eventually, they are forced to turn to Sheriff Stone for help. Meanwhile, after reminiscing about how

they met, Mr. E teams back up with Professor Pericles in search of what he calls "the Treasure".

Villain: Graveyard Ghoul/Count Evallo von Meanskrieg

34 8 "Night on Haunted Mountain" Doug Murphy Roger Eschbacher August 8, 2012 (2012-08-08) TBA
Gary and Ethan are attacked by the Dark Lilith on Mount Diabla and lose the soccer team's lucky soccer ball. As the gang begins to investigate, the

monster attacks them and a band of hillbillies at their camp in nearby Scorpion Ridge. One of the hillbillies named "Ugly Jimmy," catches Daphne's eye as,

unlike the rest of the tribe, he is handsome and muscular. Jimmy decides to help the gang solve the mystery. The gang falls into a cave and meets an

amnesiac explorer calling herself "Boron" who is holding Fred's soccer ball, believing it to be her lover. She leads the gang to the Dark Lilith's hideout

after the monster attacks Jimmy; the hideout turns out to be an old Spanish galleon. After solving the mystery, the gang is thanked by the hillbillies as

it is shown that "Ugly Jimmy" was deformed in the fall. The gang drives off unaware they're being watched by the ghost of a conquistador, which says the

single word "Nibiru" before fading away.

Overarching Mystery Clues: The ship's manifest, bearing the journals of the conquistadors who founded Crystal Cove, which describe their discovery of the

treasure (a crystal sarcophagus filled with black pearls) that became the evil beneath Crystal Cove (which they named for the sarcophagus) and their use

of the Planispheric Disk to mark its location after its burial; the fifth piece of the Disk.

Villain: The Dark Lilith/"Hot Dog Water"

Note: This episode is a parody of A Night on Bald Mountain. The soccer ball with a face is very similar to Wilson from the movie Cast Away.

35 9 "Grim Judgment" Curt Geda Mark Banker August 9, 2012 (2012-08-09) TBA
A ghostly Puritan judge named Hebediah Grim begins terrorizing Crystal Cove and judging its female citizens, forcing Mystery Incorporated to investigate.

At first they turn to Gary and Ethan, but both claim to have fought the monster themselves. Ethan suggests Doogle McGuinness, but the monster attacks as

the gang is investigating him. Grim then turns his judgment upon Daphne, but Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves offer to help Fred protect her, and they set up a

trap to capture Grim. They encourage Fred that he will be a great "trapsman" claiming it is "in his blood" and to believe in himself as they do. It is

also shown that Daphne still has strong feelings for Fred, as well as that there are feelings between Mayor Nettles and Sheriff Stone. The episode ends

with Cassidy Williams spying on the gang and Brad and Judy.

Villain: Hebediah Grim/Gary and Ethan

Note: This episode is a parody of the Friday the 13th franchise. The costume Scooby wears while he and Shaggy are spying on Ethan at the soccer field is

similar to that of Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid (1989).

36 10 "Night Terrors" Victor Cook Michael F. Ryan August 10, 2012 (2012-08-10) TBA
A family vacationing in the Burlington Library is attacked by a shadowy figure wearing a head similar to that of Anubis and is scared off when it assumes

a werewolf-like form. Later, a landslide forces the gang to abandon their ski vacation and detours them to the same library, where they are greeted by its

caretaker, Dan Fluunk, who explains to the gang the history behind the mansion, including that its builder and namesake had a fascination with groups of

four people and an animal. Soon, strange things begin happening to the gang as their stay in the mansion progresses. Eventually, their experiences are

revealed to be hallucinations brought on by the burning of a special kind of wood called Terror Wood. Meanwhile, Cassidy Williams continues her search for

the truth behind what is happening to the gang now and what has happened to other mystery-solving groups in the past -- including the Darrow family.

Overarching Mystery Clues: The repeating pattern of mystery-solving groups, including the Darrow family and both incarnations of Mystery Incorporated,

being haunted by the Planispheric Disk and the treasure it leads to, all of them consisting of four sleuths and an animal mascot; the Planispheric Disk

user manual.

Villain: Wolf Fiend/Dan Fluunk

Notes: This episode bears similarities to the film The Shining. The gang's snow suits are similar to the ones they wore in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

episode "That's Snow Ghost." Also, the family vacationing is the exact same family who were vacationing in the episode "The Creeping Creatures."
37 11 "The Midnight Zone" Curt Geda Mark Banker August 13, 2012 (2012-08-13) TBA

A robot disguised as a Nazi World War II soldier attacks Cassidy Williams at her radio station, eventually self-destructing as Cassidy fights back, taking

the entire building with it. She explains to the gang that these robots have been attacking her for the past week. Robots continue to attack the gang as

they investigate. When the gang realizes that the robots are coming from deep underwater, Daphne recruits two of her babysitting charges, Tom and Tub, and

their seal (also named Scooby), to transport the gang in their submarine to the robots' spawning vats, in an area the kids call "The Midnight Zone".

Shortly after submerging, the sub is attacked by a group of robots and damaged, and the gang stumble upon an underwater base and attempt to use it to

repair the sub, only to discover that the base is the factory where the robots are constructed, run by Professor Pericles. In the end, Pericles escapes

leaving the laboratory to self-destruct, possibly killing Cassidy Williams as the gang, Tom and Tub, and Scooby the Seal escape.

Overarching Mystery Clues: The lost original settlement of Crystal Cove, which vanished over three centuries ago, now submerged beneath the sea; its

inhabitant missionaries were the conquistadors who were the source of Crystal Cove's curse; the base revealed to have been constructed by Frau Abigail

Gluck, a member of an old mystery-solving group; her body whispers "Nibiru" upon its discovery; the final piece of the Planispheric Disk, found by

Professor Pericles.

Villain: Robot Soldiers controlled by Professor Pericles

Notes: Tom and Tub's parents are said to be Dr. Paul Williams and Captain Michael Murphy, which are characters from the Hanna-Barbara show Sealab 2020.

Tom, Tub, and Scooby the Seal appeared in the Hanna-Barbara series Moby Dick and Mighty Mightor. Their submarine, the Moby, is a reference to their whale

friend Moby Dick from the same series.
38 12 "Scarebear" Victor Cook Erin Maher

Kathryn Reindl August 14, 2012 (2012-08-14) TBA
A bear-like creature attacks Mayor Nettles and Sheriff Stone in the Crystal Cove woods near Destroido. They turn to the gang for help, explaining that the

creature is called the Scarebear and has been stalking the grounds near the Destroido company for weeks. The gang finds out that the Destroido company has

allowed toxic lithium to spill into the woods, which has resulted in the mutations of inhabitant plants and creatures including the Scarebear. Meanwhile,

Mr. E and Professor Pericles have recruited Brad and Judy to help them find the gang's pieces of the Planispheric Disk, and have resorted to drastic

measures to get the gang out of the way.

Villain: Scarebear/Benson Fuhrman (Hairman)

Note: Mr. E is discovered to own Destroido.
39 13 "Wrath of the Krampus" Curt Geda Michael F. Ryan August 15, 2012 (2012-08-15) TBA
A teenager vandalising a neighborhood is attacked by a creature calling itself "Krampus," leaving his hair snow-white with fear. Three more kids are

attacked as the gang meets Mayor Nettles and Sheriff Stone at the roller rink and arcade. Realizing that Krampus attacks "bad kids" such as the

aforementioned teenager, the gang turn to the imprisoned Mary-Ann Gleardon for help, only to have Krampus attack and kidnap her. In the end, it's revealed

that the gang had enrolled the forces of Hot Dog Water, Jason Wyatt, Mary-Ann Gleardon, the former Mayor Jones, and Charlie the Robot (from the Haunted

Museum exhibition) in an elaborate scheme to steal the original Mystery Incorporated's pieces of the Planispheric Disk. The final scene shows the crystal

sarcophagus found by the conquistadors emitting the word "Nibiru."

Overarching Mystery Clue: Velma finds that the word "Nibiru" (whispered by the specter of Frau Gluck in "The Midnight Zone") refers to an ancient

Babylonian prophecy of a collision between Earth and a large planetary object known as "Planet X," whose inhabitants were the first recorded instances of

gods.

Villain: Krampus/Charlie the Robot, controlled by Jason Wyatt for Mystery Incorporated

Notes: Besides Mary-Ann Gleardon, nearly all of
