More bad call outs to whatever the show writers think is wrong with the world, but by doing and showing all of them. Top hotties list as a town meeting about murders turns into improv fashion show. Fashion show gets swapped for 'uggo' (Ugly) lessons from Velma, showing all the ways girls can 'learn' to not be so put together/ hot. In the background of this travesty,
In the background Fred learns about women, and Daphne and Norville go on an adventure to find her birth parents as she gets out of the Hot or not drama by being locked in her room by her two moms.
Sorry for the spoilers after this but it is needed to show how awful this show is.
The show even cops out of its own shame filled message by saying all sides are equal, and you can be a 'sl*t' as the show calls it, or a 'dumpy sassy girl with glasses'. Both the show's words, not mine. Still shaming both sides while saying both sides are terrific female representation, when both sides are really just shallow props held up to spout exposition at the audience and for poor body humor attempts. There are several parts where they just show women making sexual poses to the camera. I get that its not unheard of to use sex in shows and you see it regularly in anime or film, but those mediums at least don't call it out when its happening and pretend they're better than what they are doing. This show seems to bank on you ignoring all of its terrible writing and characters so you can see Scooby Doo background characters act all sexual and the main cast talk about it. In every sense this feels more and more like a bad fanfiction written by someone that really wanted to do a lot of sexual fantasies with the Scooby Doo gang, but left out Scooby because doing it in front of the dog would be toooo weird......
Fred learns to look at women for more than their bodies by reading a book.... Did that make you laugh? Cause that's apparently the joke.... He goes from making a top five hotties list based on boob size to looking at a middle aged woman as hot because she paints and isn't afraid to wear sensible shoes or look frumpy in public. He later applies the same logic to other characters and freaks out. This is not character development, this is plot shuffling and more fanfiction as the only reason they do this is to give Velma(Mindy's self inserty character at this point.) The satisfaction of rejecting the 'hot' character of Fred after she admits all episode that she finds him attractive and still lust for his body, but now that he is willing to see her in a better light from a book, she feels good in rejecting him and taking the power for herself that she rejected a hot rich guy, instead of being rejected all her life.
Finally, Daphne and Norville go on an adventure to find out about Daphne's secret parents and or the murderer trying to give them clues to go to crystal coves mines. Bring in another five minutes of exposition on the history of crystals and crystal cove before going to the mines and thinking this might be a typical mystery set up, only for the two characters to leave because Norville is too 'sane' to go looking for mysteries, and Daphne is a thrill seeker, but she is too afraid for a murderer/parents to think she can't drag a single friend into a spooky cave with her. No characters developed, nothing new learned other than exposition after exposition.
You can take both of the last two episodes and basically not watch them as the only changes between episode two and four is that Velma and Daphne now lust for each other openly, and Velma's step mother had a baby. Nothing else has changed overall, and the situation continues to look bad for the show, its characters and the writing.
