Nowhere to Hyde

Nowhere to Hyde is the first episode of the second season of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, and the eighteenth overall.
== Premise ==
On their way home from the malt shop, the gang stops when a ghost stops them. Later when in a home they begin pegging the maid as a likely suspect, but are pursued at every turn by the ghost.
== Synopsis ==
A mysterious green ghost scales a high-rise building and snags a rare jeweled necklace out of the Movart Collection of Rare Jewels, quickly sneaking past a police officer who calls for backup after seeing what he reveals as Mr. Hyde. He sneaks into the Mystery Machine, which is sitting in the parking lot for the Malt Shop, through its back doors. The gang, completely unaware of this, climb back into the Mystery Machine and drove off. Velma asks Scooby to fetch the beach blanket so they can warm up (as it's revealed the heater is broken and isn't working), and in doing so, Scooby sees Mr. Hyde lying down with the blanket covering him and quickly throws it back, rushing to tell the gang. At first, the gang don't believe him, but after stopping, they turn around and see the ghost themselves and flee, with Scooby following close behind.
The gang find themselves behind a log watching the ghost disappear into the marshes before identifying who Mr. Hyde is a jewel thief who's been scaring the residents of a town. They track him to an old mansion where they fall through a trapdoor and end up in a science lab, where a scientist who reveals himself as Dr. Jekyll comes out and explains his fear of changing into Mr. Hyde.
The gang split up to search the mansion and Shaggy and Scooby are to search the attic. Scooby finds a spider web which can apparently be played like a harp, and Shaggy finds a chest full of bats which come flying out. In the same chest he finds old costumes and a mask which he accidentally tosses onto Scooby's head. Scooby scares him with the mask and Shaggy sarcastically suggests he keep it on, before taking the mask away and locking it in the chest, asking Scooby to stop fooling around and to help him search. The duo split up and Scooby assumes Mr. Hyde is in the closet and goes to tell Shaggy. Shaggy opens the door and the duo realize Scooby was looking in a mirror at himself. The duo again assume Mr. Hyde is after them until Helga comes upon them and accuses them of making a mess of the attic after she'd just cleaned it.
Meanwhile, the rest of the gang find a clue, which is a fraction of a newspaper article addressing Helga as an ex-circus star who had an act on a Friday.
Shaggy and Scooby find a book about ghosts and ghouls in a library and pull it off the shelf when Mr. Hyde pops out and begins his evil laugh. They run from him but are cornered behind a television set so they begin acts as if the television still worked. It's revealed it doesn't when it's all just an act by Shaggy and Scooby, who once again flee only to take Velma with them through the chute into the laundry room. There, they discover another clue: a feather duster just like the one Helga used to clean the attic. Velma becomes suspicious more clues may be in Helga's room, so they journey there.
There, they find two more clues: a can of phosphorous paint and a bottle of knockout drops. Shaggy tries to tell the gang he found a clue himself but before he can elaborate, he's snagged by Mr. Hyde. When he frees himself from him, he elaborates the clue: four suction cups found in a fruit bowl.
Eventually Mr. Hyde is caught and revealed to be Dr. Jekyll. He was behind the Mr. Hyde robberies and turned to a life of crime when all of his experiments failed, and when he figured he would be caught, he came up with the idea of framing Helga by placing false clues for the gang to find that would make it look like Helga was behind Mr. Hyde. After Shaggy found the 4 suction cups, which turned out to be the real clue, he tried desperately to get them back but ended up caught in one of the gang's traps. The suction cups would be used earlier. If Helga was Mr. Hyde, she wouldn't need the said suction cups as she's a former circus star. Scooby performs his own circus act with the said suction cups and ends the episode by dangling from the ceiling with a suction cup on his tail.

* This is also one of the few episodes where Fred's trap of capturing the ghost was executed perfectly.
* In this episode, Daphne unmasks the villain.
* The character model of Dr. Jekyll may have been the basis for Professor Wayne, three episodes later, in Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright.
* In 2001, Equity released the Suction Cup Scooby-Doo action figure, based on this episode.
* Joe Ruby and Ken Spears cite this as one of their favorite episodes.
* This is one of the few episodes aired on the Turner networks prior to 1998 that had the 1994 Hanna-Barbera "All Stars Comedy" logo (all others had the 1979 "Swirling Star") prior to being replaced by the 1994 Hanna-Barbera "All Stars Action" logo.
=== Miscellaneous ===
* Traps:
* Clues:
* Scooby Snacks bribe: One box.
* "Zoinks" count: 2.
* "Zoink" count: 1.
=== Cultural references ===
* The episode is a reference to the famous 1886 novel, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
=== Adaptations ===
* Landoll's adapted this episode for their coloring and activity book, Scooby-Doo! Nowhere to Hyde.
* This is adapted into the Game Boy Color version of Scooby-Doo! Classic Creep Capers.
* Dalmatian Press published Nowhere to Hyde in 2002.
=== Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches ===
* When there are close-ups of Scooby and Shaggy at the malt shop, their spoons are missing.
* After he enters the basement, Dr. Jekyll's shadow vanishes. Later, Mr. Hyde's does, too.
* While watching Shaggy and Scooby slide down the banister, Fred turns his head all the way around.
* The mud on Jekyll's shoes wasn't there a moment before.
* The picture on the wall is just a solid blue. Modern art?
* Velma in the Hyde costume is considerably shorter than normal.
* When Scooby is climbing the wall at the end of the episode, he has suction cups on all four of his paws and one on his tail, but when he is on the ceiling, his front paws have no suction cups on them with no time for him to take them off. When he catches himself on the ceiling with his tail, his rear paws also have no suction cups.
* When Fred says "Now it's our turn to scare the Hyde off of Hyde," Daphne's pantyhose are missing.
=== Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities ===
** The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde novel doesn't seem to exist, given that no one references it. Yet, it does by time of the The New Scooby-Doo Movies episode Sandy Duncan's Jekyll and Hyde, where two movies have been made (with a third on the way), and none of those movies were based on what the Scooby-Doo Dr. Jekyll did.
* Dr. Jekyll managed to plant all of the clues extremely quickly and yet methodically; unless he was prepared beforehand that someone might follow him, which is not what the Gang believed, this is somewhat miraculous.
* When Shaggy and Scooby claim that "Dr. Jekyll must have changed again," Velma claims this is impossible as she, Fred and Daphne just saw him reading in his study. At this point the audience is being led to believe Helga is the ghost but after it transpires that Jekyll is indeed the ghost, it means that Jekyll must indeed have moved impossibly quickly.
* It isn't explained what happened to the mansion (or Helga's job) when Dr. Jekyll is taken into custody.
