“The Beat Goes On” offers flashbacks to early days of rehearsal while in the present events surrounding Ben‘s (Paul Rudd) funeral put Charles (Steve Martin) and Mabel (Selena Gomez) in harms way chasing down leads to the murder. Meanwhile, the failure of Oliver‘s (Martin Short) comeback brings on a heart attack. The episode is notable for revealing the issue Ben had with Charles, Oliver’s dream sequence leading to an epiphany and a way to save the play, and Charles and Mabel deciding that (once again) the police have the wrong man and the true murderer is part of the theatrical production Oliver has now saved. I’m just guessing, but I don’t think this was the low-stress situation his doctor recommended.

Scooby Sunday takes us back to the first episode of Scooby Doo and Guess Who? which used a similar concept to The New Scooby Doo Movies in providing a guest-star of the week to help solve a mystery, first up was professional basketball player Chris Paul (voiced by Paul). The concept around the episode is a bit convoluted, but it shakes down in Paul asking for Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) to be his caddy in a charity golf tournament which benefits the funding of a local school. Sadly, a Swamp Monster has been terrorizing the tournament and either kidnapping or scaring off several of the golfers.

  • wiki: link

As was teased in last season’s epilogue, the show’s Third Season opens up with a murder. Well, technically it opens up with two murders, of the same victim (Paul Rudd). The first takes place on stage during the Broadway premiere of Oliver‘s (Martin Short) comeback. We get some conversations among our trio about the sudden death, and an awkward afterparty turned wake, but the majority of the episode begins to fill in events between the solving of the last murder and opening night through a series of flashbacks. Oh, and then the victim shows up after being miraculously resurrected at the hospital only to be killed again that night (this time in the building). You know what that means, podcast listeners!
