The gang searches for Fred's former partner after he disappears while exploring a cave.

Thoughts, Details and Recap

While the gang is wrapping up a reimagined version of the "Ghost of Captain Cutler" (he's Dr Cutler in this version), Fred gets a message from his old frenemy Chuck asking for help. Chuck and Fred used to work together but there's little friendliness in their friendship.

They go to the Zatari caverns, Velma provides the background on the caves (a Zatari warrior and a hidden treasure). It's pithy and funny and I love it. Daphne establishes her quirk of the episode, narration. Scooby gets mad at Shaggy for saying he's a responsible dog owner. The fight continues throughout the episode until the end.

They entire the cave and meet the last of the Zatari. He tells them his name. "Rick" but chastises them for mispronouncing it. He warns them to leave. They continue into the cave. In the cave, they are attacked by a masked warrior. The masked warrior chases them deeper into the cave.

Fred goes through a whole crisis of identity but eventually concludes he needs to do things his way. They solve the mystery and unmask the warrior. It's Chuck. He didn't want to admit to Fred that he needed help. Chuck was jealous of Fred.

The ancient Zatari treasure is "Larry", the chicken.
