Context Recap / ScoobyDooMysteryIncS1E6TheLegendOfAliceMay

Go To

1When a new girl moves to town and tries to catch Freddie's eye, Daphne is outraged. But she's not the only one who's suspecting this girl is up to something, as the gang is now investigating the case of disappearing prom dates, and a zombie girl seems to be linked to their absences.
2----
3!!The episode provides examples of:
4* CallBack: We see the capture of the Creeper from ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou'' in a flashback -- re-animated in the ''Mystery Incorporated'' style. [[spoiler: Which could be a very subtle hint that it's ''not'' a genuine flashback to the original series' era, but a story Alice and/or her employer concocted ''in the present'' to tell the gang.]]
5* CoolBigSis: Daphne's sister Delilah senses her "baby sis" having boy troubles and offers her a little pep talk. Said talk does get a little {{Metaphorgotten}}, though.
6* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Alice's flashback to the Creeper's arrest shows her as a little girl, despite her apparently being the same age as the gang, who are still teenagers in their own flashback to the event. This discrepancy actually foreshadows the fact that her entire story is false.
7* LatexPerfection: The intro shows Alice wearing a mask of her face over a Ghost Girl mask over her actual face.
8* MonsterOfTheWeek: The Ghost Girl, who haunts high school proms and spirits away her dates.
9* ReverseWhodunnit: The intro scene, where the Ghost Girl wears an Alice May mask to kidnap a promgoer, makes it pretty obvious that Alice is wearing the Ghost Girl costume. The ''actual'' reveal is that she's really Alice Carlswell... and then that she actually isn't.
10* TwoTimerDate: Shaggy goes to the usual comic lengths to keep Scooby from realizing he's leaving for the prom and will miss the beginning of the marathon.
11* UrbanLegend: The villain is playing on Crystal Cove's local version of the BewareOfHitchhikingGhosts legend, this time recast as prom-goers being spirited away by a girl who turns out to be a ghost.
12* WomanScorned: Velma does not take Shaggy's refusal to go to prom well.
13* YouKilledMyFather: Subverted. While Alice May claims this as part of her motivations, she is, in fact, not the daughter of The Creeper.

15 -->'''Alice: ''' You ever going to tell me why you cooked up this whole Alice May scheme, just so I could then hand it over to a bunch of kids and their dog?\
