Meanwhile: “Daphne” and “Velma ” learn that a local man who just escaped from a local prison, is heading straight for the woods! Jinkies! They set out on a rescue mission, baby! The entire gang ends up lost in the forest; left to face their fears, not to mention the local wildlife! You know, coyotes and cougars and incels? (Oh my!) Will they make it out alive? Scooby Doosical is a heartwarming musical-spoof about loyalty, love, loss and ZOINKS!
