==Synopsis== |
||
+ | During a riot at the [[Crystal Cove High School]] soccer game, the hideous goddess of love appears to entrance all the students into her spell. Throwing strange flowers around each person, they slowly start to fall in love with everything in town, eventually losing their minds. The next day, the gang stand inside the hallway aware of the odd attractions between students that would have never occurred before. Once admitting that he never studied for the test, Shaggy realizes that there's a substitute teacher relieving him from the test. Shaggy went to greet the substitute only to realize that Aphrodite is posing as one. Her ugly appearance distracts Shaggy long enough for her to blow a handfull of her mysterious flowers into his face, filling him with the love that the town was filled in. |
||
− | In the heat of a match of high crystal grotto, several spectators and players of the game begin to fall victim to a spell of a deformed and drawn Aphrodite , the goddess of love. |
||
+ | The day falls through with the Mystery Inc. being infected with the love regaining their relationships with each other. Later we find Scooby roaming the halls in search for his owner only to find both group of students tickling him and the startling Aphrodite that attempts to bring him into the love with the rest of the town. Once realizing that Scooby is immune to her spell, she demands that the adoring people capture him. Scobby, of course, runs away from the school and into the town who's eerie love begins to grow intensely. Aphrodite abuses her power, controlling the gang to run down Scooby-Doo into the road, but he narrowly escapes into an ally where he finds Pericles, escaped from prison. Scooby hardly believes Pericles when he claims he's willing to help saving the town despite his recent imprisonment and inlists Scooby's help for the ingredients to the antidote. |
||
− | The next day the gang is discussing the recent event occurred in the party, also they discovered a number of rare couples who despite being unusual and not arouse any suspicions in boys. Shaggy is separated from the group for an examination but is intercepted by Aphrodite bewitching him as the rest of their victims. The boy under the influence of the goddess, biology class breaks and Vilma bewitches both under the influence, enchant also the rest of his teammates, including Daphne and Fred. |
||
+ | Pericles guides Scooby through many locations retrieving the ingredients from churches, museums, and mines in search for pewter found commonly in stained glass windows, the ectoplasm of a spirit, and Rose Quartz. After finding each successfully, they return to the school to combine them, creating a green liquid. Thinking they're safe, they're proven wrong when Aphrodite pounds down the door with her minions under her spell that have been demanded to steal the antidote before they save the town. The two are finally escaped and revive the gang back into their normal state, angering the people in the love. Angel Dynomite, who states she has no sense of smell, drives the mystery machine to their rescue from the attacking town. |
||
− | Scooby-Doo and Aphrodite also comes about hex, but fails because there is no one around the Great Dane who can love. Annoyed, the goddess sends his army of hypnotized students to capture dog. Scooby escapes, and realizes that the whole city is affected by the spell of love, including its owners who try to chase the Mystery Machine, friends and parents. Frightened, Scooby refuge in an alley, where he is intercepted by Professor Pericles. The parrot tells the Great Dane who is willing to help stop the villain. Both pets gather various ingredients which create the antidote. But they are caught in the act by his love Aphrodite and subjects. Scooby and Pericles manage to rescue a sample of the antidote to cure the gang. Amid the love zombies city, Fred's father tells him that if it is not already in love then you have to let out a horrible scream and destroy, after which throws a strong mythical scream similar to a demon. |
||
+ | The gang try to settle what really happened while they were under her love spell, and what it meant to them while shuffling through the library. Though Fred and Daphne both agree that they didn't need the spell, Velma and Shaggy are both reluctant to show their true feelings. Thinking about the attire that Aphrodite had dressed in, the gang realize she's chosen a prom dress and traced it down to a girl who was laughed out of the school by a vicious joke during prom, who's name is Amanda Smythe. The gang, with Pericles and Angel's help, then recreate the antidote into many canisters that they had disguised themselves. Dressed as the common love strucked citizens, the gang crash the prom that the citizens have created to honor the new queen of Crystal Cove, Aphrodite. |
||
− | Out of nowhere, Angel Dynamita (which did not fall under the spell because he was born without the gift of smell) appears aboard the Mystery Machine to help the children to escape the city. Angel pales to see Professor Pericles, who just says, 'Nice to meet you, Angel, "as if he knew. Outside Crystal Grotto, the boys try to find out who may be Aphrodite, but they do not think anything until Daphne highlights the fact that the goddess wears a prom dress. Researching the school library, Vilma discovered an article about Amanda Smythe, not a very graceful woman who used a similar Aphrodite dressed in a graduation from high school where the girl was nominated as prom queen, but that same night City girl disappeared and was not seen again. Professor Pericles tells the group that when they were attacked, Aphrodite mentioned something about a crown. Warned of the intentions of the evil goddess, the boys decide to put together a plan to stop and save the city. |
||
+ | ==Characters== |
||
− | While preparing the trap different couples try to clear the air between them: Shaggy and Vilma decide to pretend that nothing happened and hide their feelings, while Fred and Daphne recognize that spent a great time together, and Fred tells Daphne that needs no spell to love. In Crystal Grotto, Aphrodite is about to be crowned, but the ceremony is interrupted by the gang that heal citizens from the spell of love and captured Aphrodite, who is Amanda effect. The woman, now with a more beautiful appearance, confesses that he intended to take revenge on his former classmates, who was nominated as prom queen to humiliate her in front of the school cruelly ridicule with a deformed mask. Devastated, Amanda Crystal Grotto left vowing to return for the crown. With their advanced knowledge in chemistry, the girl created a special pheromone that gave the effect of love to those who become inhaled, and using the same mask with which she was humiliated, returned to the city to complete their plans. |

This needs a stretch. (Feel free to remove when satisfied of completion.) Needed: The ending of the synopsis. Not even the capture of Aphrodite has been included. |
Where Walks Aphrodite is the sixteenth episode of the first season of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.
Premise
When the entire town of Crystal Cove is taken over by Aphrodite's love spell, only Scooby-Doo and the recently escaped Professor Pericles can save the gang from the spell and solve the mystery. Pericles says he can make an antidote. But does he have ulterior motives?
Synopsis
During a riot at the Crystal Cove High School soccer game, the hideous goddess of love appears to entrance all the students into her spell. Throwing strange flowers around each person, they slowly start to fall in love with everything in town, eventually losing their minds. The next day, the gang stand inside the hallway aware of the odd attractions between students that would have never occurred before. Once admitting that he never studied for the test, Shaggy realizes that there's a substitute teacher relieving him from the test. Shaggy went to greet the substitute only to realize that Aphrodite is posing as one. Her ugly appearance distracts Shaggy long enough for her to blow a handfull of her mysterious flowers into his face, filling him with the love that the town was filled in.
The day falls through with the Mystery Inc. being infected with the love regaining their relationships with each other. Later we find Scooby roaming the halls in search for his owner only to find both group of students tickling him and the startling Aphrodite that attempts to bring him into the love with the rest of the town. Once realizing that Scooby is immune to her spell, she demands that the adoring people capture him. Scobby, of course, runs away from the school and into the town who's eerie love begins to grow intensely. Aphrodite abuses her power, controlling the gang to run down Scooby-Doo into the road, but he narrowly escapes into an ally where he finds Pericles, escaped from prison. Scooby hardly believes Pericles when he claims he's willing to help saving the town despite his recent imprisonment and inlists Scooby's help for the ingredients to the antidote.
Pericles guides Scooby through many locations retrieving the ingredients from churches, museums, and mines in search for pewter found commonly in stained glass windows, the ectoplasm of a spirit, and Rose Quartz. After finding each successfully, they return to the school to combine them, creating a green liquid. Thinking they're safe, they're proven wrong when Aphrodite pounds down the door with her minions under her spell that have been demanded to steal the antidote before they save the town. The two are finally escaped and revive the gang back into their normal state, angering the people in the love. Angel Dynomite, who states she has no sense of smell, drives the mystery machine to their rescue from the attacking town.
The gang try to settle what really happened while they were under her love spell, and what it meant to them while shuffling through the library. Though Fred and Daphne both agree that they didn't need the spell, Velma and Shaggy are both reluctant to show their true feelings. Thinking about the attire that Aphrodite had dressed in, the gang realize she's chosen a prom dress and traced it down to a girl who was laughed out of the school by a vicious joke during prom, who's name is Amanda Smythe. The gang, with Pericles and Angel's help, then recreate the antidote into many canisters that they had disguised themselves. Dressed as the common love strucked citizens, the gang crash the prom that the citizens have created to honor the new queen of Crystal Cove, Aphrodite.

Cast
Continuity
- Things are awkward for Shaggy and Velma because they broke up in Howl of the Fright Hound.
Notes/trivia
- Aphrodite's love spell can only work on humans; those that are immune are Angel who has no sense of smell and animals like Scooby and Pericles.
- It is also possible that Pericles, knowing what formula was going to be used on the town, immunized himself, but that doesn't explain the immunity of the other fauna.
Cultural references
- Someone getting a terrible revenge for supposedly being chosen prom queen and then humiliated by her peers is a reference to the Stephen King book (and movie) Carrie.
- This episode parallels Invasion of the Body Snatchers, including the squawking sound people make when they discover someone "not in the love".
- Two of the love-infected teenage girls at the beginning of the episode, are based on Pebbles Flintstone and Suzie Chan, from The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show and The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, respectively.
- Fred brought his swimsuit issue of Traps Illustrated to school.

- When Aphrodite is leaning out of the Mystery Machine window when she is chasing Scooby, the Mystery Machine logo on the side of the van is reversed.
- Professor Pericles' left eye keeps switching between green and orange throughout the episode.
- Angel Dynamite rescues the gang after they're cured from the help of Pericles' and Scooby-Doo. When she realizes Pericles is there, the scene transitions and Angel isn't there all of the sudden.
- It's odd that the potion made Shaggy fall in love with Velma even though she wasn't with him when he smelled the potion.
- Matthew Lillard and Tony Cervone are credited as "Referee #1" and "Referee #2", respectively, but only one appears, and he doesn't talk.
