At the stage where The Hex Girls were rehearsing earlier, Shaggy, Scooby, Ben, and Velma walked onto the stage. After Scooby and Shaggy mess around with the instruments a bit, The Hex Girls arrive

"Thanks for coming girls." Velma said

"We should all be home resting for the concert tomorrow. We only came cause Ben asked us to." Thorn said

"Hey, I was just following orders." Ben clarified

"Well, what do you want?" Dusk asked.

Just then the wind picked up really fast and the ghost came out from behind the trees and flew at the group and threw a fireball making them all scatter

Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby ran to the forest and past a soccer net and the ghost followed the and then Velma tripped.

"Help me, i've fallen and can't get up." Velma said as Shaggy and Scooby help her get back up

The three turn and see the ghost getting closer and the cowardly duo screamed

Just as the ghost was about 3 feet away from them, Velma shouted, "Now!!"

Once she did, two branches swung and hit the ghost into the soccer net

"Yes!" Velma said as Fred and Daphne came out from the left and Rex came out from the right. "You did it, guys!"

Everyone walked over to the ghost.

"Okay, let's see who's behind all this." Fred said as Rex pulled off the mask of the ghost, revealing the ghost of Sarah Ravencroft to have really been.....

"Zoinks, like, it's the t-shirt guy." Shaggy said surprised

"Mr. McKnight, the pharmacist?" Daphne asked with confusion

The Hex Girls walk up and Thorn gasps.

"Daddy?" she asks sounding confused

"Hello, Sally" He said as he got out of the net

"Your dad's the ghost?" Luna asks

"Your name is Sally?" Fred said.

"I don't believe this, daddy, why would you do this?" Thorn asks still confused about why her father was the ghost

"You mean, you didn't know?" Daphne asks

The Hex Girls all shake their heads.

"Please.....the girls have nothing to do with this." Mr. McKnight says

"What in the world is going on this evening?" The mayor asks

The Mayor walks over and sees that Mr. McKnight was unmasked and fakes a surprised reaction

"Is that you McKnight???" The mayor questions

"Perhaps I can explain." Velma said. "I found flash powder residue where the guys saw the ghost."

Velma pulled back one of the sleeves on the costume, revealing a device strapped to Mr. McKnight's wrist.

"This is the device used to throw the fireballs, which were just wads of flashpaper." Velma explains. "He got it from his daughter's stage props."

Scooby then pushed a button on the wrist device launching a fireball which lands and explodes like a firework revealing that the cherry-picker Ben, Rex, and Velma found in the barn was behind some trees.

"Like, what's that?" Shaggy asked pointing at the cherry-picker

"That's the cherry-picker that made the ghost fly above the trees with the use of an extension device." Rex explains before shining his flashlight on a giant fan. "And that there is the fan that created the eerie wind."
