Thoughts, Details, Recap

The gang visits Shaggy's old friend. He discovers she's a goth with a group of friends who hang out at an abandoned hospital. Shaggy's not surprised because he knows her parents who are also goths. They get along very well. Shaggy starts trying to prove he's changed. Fred and the rest of the gang start investigating the plant monster roaming the hospital. But not as much Shaggy, he's just trying to hang out with his friend.

Scooby encourages Shaggy to be himself and to stop trying to impress Amelia. It's good advice. Plus Amelia already liked Shaggy. Shaggy and the gang get in deeper into the culture and the mystery. While completing the "darkest union ritual", they are attacked by the plant monster and destroy the Night Shadows party decorations.

It's a really cute episode. The relationship between Shaggy and Amelia is really sweet. They leave it on a really nice note. The motivation of the monster is very good. It makes perfect sense.
