Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated/Recap/S1/E18 The Dragons Secret

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


A new exchange student, Mai Lee, comes to town and Shaggy is instantly smitten while Velma is instantly jealous while Daphne prepares to go to one of her parents' events with Fred for the first time as a couple. Meanwhile two mysterious men calling themselves The White Kung-Fu Wizard and the Red Kung-Fu Wizard battle over 4 ancient and powerful rings.

The episode provides examples of:
  • Color Coded for Your Convenience: The Red and White Wizards, but played with as The Red Wizard, Mr. Chen, is protecting the rings, while the White Wizard, Mr. Wang, just wanted the rings to open the dragon and steal The Dragon's Heart, flip flopping the normal color schemes(though red is also considered a good color depending on the situation.)
  • Comically Missing the Point: Mayor Jones walks in on the trap and wonders... why the White Wizard, who the Mayor mistakes for a Geisha, isn't down town at the haunted geisha mansion.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: Mr.Wang
  • Crazy Prepared: Fred activates a trap in the Blake's dinning room and reveals he's set traps in every one of the gang's houses, just in case. He also does this to the Blake's boat since he had no idea where Mai Lee would end up.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Chen, who has predominantly black and red attire, is trying to protect the Dragons Heart.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Velma towards Mai Lee. At first it seems she's just trying to prevent Mai Lee from being hurt by Shaggy but it later becomes apparent that it's due to her lingering feelings towards Shaggy.
  • Light Is Not Good: The White Wizard, with a predominantly white and blue uniform, is the secondary villain of the episode.
  • Magic Skirt: Mai Lee, twice.
  • Race For Your Love: Shaggy plans to do this in the end to say goodbye to Mai Lee. However it turns out that the rest of the gang had set it up to stop her from getting away with The Dragon's Heart
  • Was It All a Lie?: Shaggy asks this of Mai Lee and she coldly responds yes.
