If you are hoping the show redeems itself, you can abandon hope here

No spoilers: The show is just poorly written. Tired jokes. I think this episode makes it the most obvious that they didn't need to tie this to the Scooby Doo IP at all.

All the humor here is supposed to be 'biting' and 'adult' but it's like the Zima of adult drinks. It's what a child thinks adult humor would be.

The joke pool here is extremely shallow and they go to the same stock over and over again.

The best part of this episode (and maybe the show in general) are some of the visual gags. Some of those are pretty amusing, but again, it would have been about the same if it was using the Scooby IP or not. This show should have just done its own thing and not tried to tie anything to an existing IP.

This is the worst episode yet

There's literally not a single redeemable thing about this episode or the series. The voice acting sounds like it was made amateur actor from an indie studio in a basement. Not a single piece of dialogue sounds natural. Why is everyone saying the hallucinations are scary? I guess the visuals are a little creepy but the dialogue from the thing is so cringey every time. There also isn't a single characters that's at least bearable. Velma and Daphne are horrible people, Norville's constant "silly quips" are the most annoying and cringey dialogue i've seen in a show, and someday simultaneously made everyone's parents behave the same way, obnoxious and "lol we're so quirky and weird even though we're parents". And what the heck is with this worlds logic? Daphne's Mom shot the gun out of Her biological fathers hand even though she was behind Daphne's from several yards away, how does that makes since? And what is with the logic "Look Footprints! People were just here!", If footprints are made they don't just disappear, how on earth does it make since that there was someone just there at based on that piece of evidence, and also having footprints in detective stuff is so over done it's not even funny anymore. In fact, nothing in this show is funny.

Now we are cooking with gas!

With only 2 weeks/4 episodes to go, the series isn't stopping for anything. We learn sooooooooo very much in this episode.

Daphne gets the answers she was looking for. They were not what she expected, but like in most TV shows, Daphne learns that the ones who have been with her all along we always the ones who loved her most.

Shaggy has so much to process and work through. He's finding his way into being his own man.

Fred gets some growth. A little. And a new girlfriend...?

Velma finds a coping mechanism, and so much more...

We learn the meaning of "Scoobi" from the early trailers? The "What is Scoobi". That mystery gets more or less solved.

And then the mid-credits scene has a really BIG moment. It's fairly par-for-the-course for this series, but at the same time, it hints that a thing probably is about to happen that has NEVER happened in a Scooby-Doo series before. It's WILD.

Another great episode of a really great series.
