Premiered September 5, 2019

Quickly

Sia has a demonic doppelganger.

Thoughts, Details and Recap

The gang is visiting Daphne's friend, Sia, at her mansion. She called the gang because a monster that looks just like Sia is robbing jewelry stores. Shaggy and Scooby hang out with Sia in her super whimsical house while the rest of the gang goes to town to investigate the case. While Sia, Scooby and Shaggy are hanging out, they are attacked by the Sia doppelganger. The Sia doppelganger also robs the jewelry store.

The doppelganger is a great monster with a fascinating look but the actions aren't completely sensible. It acts a little like monster who's just really into tormenting them. It tries to murder them. But this isn't unique to this episode.

Sia reveals she paid for all of the stolen diamonds because she felt for the jewelry stores. But those stores did have insurance. She also bought all of the diamonds in a 100 mile radius which doesn't make any sense but makes good bait. She blows a bubble and pops it to cover all of them in gum which doesn't make any sense.

The monster is Sia's personal trainer. They ask her why she put the diamonds in the kitchen earlier in the episode and she was setting up Sia. Her plan was just bad. She didn't need to set up Sia to take the blame for stealing the diamonds. It just drew more attention to her crimes. A revenge motive would have made more sense there. Points for style, points off for poor planning.
