As the day of Harry's memorial service approached, the Montrose Family was bustling with last minute preparations. Flowers were being arranged, refreshments were being prepared, and the house was being cleaned from top to bottom. But amidst all the chaos, the family had a secret agenda.

Ever since the police had confirmed that the Crystal Cove High School football players were innocent and had been framed for Harry's death, the Montrose Family had been on edge. They knew that the real killer was still out there, and they were determined to find out who it was.

Velma, who was still grieving the loss of her uncle, was determined to find justice for him. She had been pouring over police reports and witness statements, trying to piece together the puzzle. But as she dug deeper, she discovered some shocking revelations about her own family.

Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby had been trying to refocus their energy on solving mysteries. They were determined to become braver and more skilled at solving mysteries, just like their friends. So when they heard about an opportunity to work with someone who could mentor them, they jumped at the chance.

It was a retired detective who had solved some of the biggest mysteries in Crystal Cove. He had agreed to take on Shaggy and Scooby as his apprentices and teach them all his tricks of the trade. The boys were excited and eager to learn, but little did they know that this mentor had a few secrets of his own.

As the day of the memorial service arrived, the Montrose Family put on a brave face and welcomed all the guests. But behind closed doors, they were all struggling with their own emotions. Lydia, who had always been the strong and composed one, was having a harder time dealing with Harry's death than she let on.

Fred, who had always been the fearless leader of the gang, was struggling with some shocking revelations about his own family. He had always thought that his parents were perfect and could do no wrong, but as he delved deeper into his investigation, he realized that they had been keeping some dark secrets from him.

One of these secrets involved Lydia's father, who had been close with Harry. Fred couldn't believe that his own family could be involved in something so sinister, and he was struggling to come to terms with it. But amidst all the turmoil, he found an unexpected ally in Lydia.

The two of them bonded over their shared grief and their family secrets. They found comfort in each other's company and leaned on each other for support. But as they grew closer, they also uncovered more secrets about their families and the town of Crystal Cove.

Meanwhile, Velma had made a breakthrough in her investigation. She had discovered that Harry had been investigating his Family's involvement in a series of illegal activities. It seemed that Harry had stumbled upon something big, and it had cost him his life.

Velma shared her findings with the rest of the gang, and they were shocked to learn that their own friends were involved in such shady dealings. But before they could confront the Montrose Family, they received a mysterious message from Eastern Reptile.

Judy, who had been feeling guilty about her involvement in Harry's death, had received a message that hinted at the truth behind the crime. She immediately turned to Casey for help, knowing that she could trust him to keep her secrets safe.

Together, they followed the clues and discovered that the real killer was someone they never would have suspected. It was someone who had been close to the Montrose Family all along. It was someone who had been manipulating them and pulling the strings behind the scenes.

As the truth came to light, the Montrose Family was shattered. They had been living a lie for so long, and now it was all coming crashing down. But they also knew that they had to come clean and face the consequences of their actions.

At the memorial service, the gang revealed the truth to all the guests, including the police. The Montrose Family was arrested for their crimes, and justice was finally served for Harry.

As the town of Crystal Cove came to terms with the shocking revelations, the gang realized that they had grown and matured through this experience. They had solved the biggest mystery of their lives and had become braver and stronger people because of it.

And as they looked to the future, they knew that they would always be there for each other, no matter what challenges came their way. The bond of friendship they shared was unbreakable, and they knew that they could overcome anything as long as they had each other by their side.
