The Night the Clown Cried is the first episode of the second season of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, and the twenty-seventh episode overall in the series.
Premise
With the gang split up, Crystal Cove is being tormented by an evil man-baby called Crybaby Clown!
Synopsis
Following the disbandment of Mystery Incorporated, Mayor Fred Jones Sr.'s successor Mayor Janet Nettles is approached by a mysterious figure (who later turns out to be Velma). She shows the mayor files on her fellow mystery-solvers in order to seek their help in bringing down Crybaby Clown who is torturing Crystal Cove. Mayor Nettles sets out immediately to retrieve Scooby-Doo and break him out of the puppy farm he is in. Scooby then goes and helps Shaggy escape from military school and together they find Fred Jr. (who now has a hobo appearance) and the three return to Crystal Cove. Velma joins them and together they go to bring Daphne back, but she refuses their offer. Fred comes up with a doughnut shop-themed trap in order to trap out Crybaby Clown. The trap doesn't work and Crybaby Clown escapes using one of his bottle bombs to blow up Chen's Fireworks. Fred is depressed that the villian escaped and states that Mystery Incorporated won't be the same since Daphne is never coming back.

Notes/trivia
- This episode was originally set to air May 2012[1], but instead was released online and the televised premiere was pushed back to July 10 and then finally July 30 of the same year.
- It premiered in the UK June 2, 2012.[2]
- The title seems to be based on the notoriously bad unreleased Jerry Lewis movie, The Day the Clown Cried.
- The Clown mentioned Redbeard's Ghost and Mano Tiki Tia as cases Mystery Inc. solved. In the regular continuity, the latter case was set in Hawaii. This case must have been closer to home, since Daphne said she had never been further than Gatorsburg.
Home media
- Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: Season 2, Part 1: Danger in the Deep DVD set is set to be released November 13, 2012.[1]
