In terms of ongoing storylines, “Breach” continues to explore the post-break-up relationship of Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) and Whistler (Tori Anderson). As for the threat of the week, that comes from a ransomware attack that threatens to shutdown all power on the island. The episode tips its hand with the rather obvious mastermind of the plot being an inside man, and relies on the quick fix of super-hackers which has become its own cliché at this point in movies and television. Still, there is some fun with Ernie (Jason Antoon) meeting his somewhat unnecessarily hippie idol and we finally, maybe, have a cordial end to the tension between Lucy and Whistler. While I think the show is better exploring them as a couple, this at least (hopefully) ends the recurring awkward and angry sequences between the pair.

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the unsolved crimes of passion in the wealthy playground of Palm Beach, Florida. While Chris (Rob Estes) mulls over the possibility of moving in with his girlfriend (Kristen Cloke), he and Rita (Mitzi Kapture) investigate the murder of a nanny (Alina Arenal) where all evidence points to one of Rita’s oldest friends (Claire Yarlett) who suspected the nanny was sleeping with her husband (Franc Luz).

Scooby-Doo! – Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Werewolf

Throwback Thursday takes us back to Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. While camping in the woods, Mystery, Inc. comes across a werewolf haunting the area around an abandoned mill. The set-up for the episode is unusual with the gang never encountering any locals before or after first learning about or sighting the creature of the week. While the mystery involving the smuggling of sheep (by bizarre means) is solved, there is no unmasking of the villain who appears unmasked and in police custody after being captured (as there is no one for the gang to recognize). “Tell Me, Tell Me” is used for the musical chase montage and the episode is notable for Fred (Frank Welker), Daphne (Heather North), and Velma (Nicole Jaffe) coming across the monster before Shaggy (Casey Kasem) or Scooby-Doo (Don Messick).
