They now had a new destination, the home of Jeremiah Wickles. That being the place they now have to investigate for clues.

"It seems Old Man Wickles deserves a visit." Blake states. "Before any of our other creepy conquests make a comeback."

"Neppy, up on the right." Pyrrha points out

Neptune pulls up outside Wickles' manor as Blake says, "Old Man Wickles' ancestral manor."

As everyone got out, Jaune shook.

"Oh man....another creepy crib." Jaune comments. "How come we can't ever investigate, like, a Burger King or something???"

Scooby then reminded Jaune that they're trying to be unlike their old selves.

"Right. Then again, 'creepy' is my middle name." Jaune comments as they get out, Scooby remaining. "Scoob!"

Scooby ended up decking himself in the face on accident.

When getting up to the front porch, Blake comments, "This place could use a fixer upper."

Neptune rang the doorbell by pulling the chain.

"YOU ARE TRESPASSING ON WICKLES' MANOR! LEAVE NOW OR PAY THE PRICE!" The doorbell booms

"What kind of jerk makes that his doorbell???" Pyrrha questions

Neptune went to ring the doorbell again but Jaune stopped him.

"Dude! He just said we'd pay the price!" Jaune stated

"Jaune, Jaune, Jaune...what could POSSIBLY happen by ringing a doorbell?" Neptune comments

Neptune pulled the chain again. Nothing happened. Then, there was some clicking noises but before anyone could really do anything, they found themselves falling through a trapdoor on the porch.

"RIPE!!!" Scooby yelped, being the last to fall

One by one, they all landed in a large, spherical, metal cage and when they were all in it, it shut and began rolling along a track. When it came to a stop, everyone fell on top of each other as the cage rotated a little.

"That's what can happen by ringing a doorbell, Neptune." Jaune stated. "THAT!"

"AT 7 PM THE OWNER WILL BE HOME TO SET YOU FREE!" The doorbell system booms

Everyone carefully got up and Blake groans when seeing the lock.

"Oh great. The lock's on a laser thumbprint scanner." Blake groaned

"Let me just get to it with my makeup." Pyrrha comments, pulling out her makeup bag

"Pyrrha, now??????" Velma groaned

Pyrrha put her head and arms, holding the makeup bag, through holes in the cage as Pyrrha said, "You know what, Blake? It's never too late to learn to properly apply makeup."

Pyrrha then pulled out a couple things and got to work on trying to trick the lock.

"The last good thumbprint should still be there so a little brush and a porestrip...." Pyrrha comments as she gets the cage to open. "Voila."

The cage swung open.

"Alright, Pyrrha!" Jaune cheered

Pyrrha smiled while shrugging and said, "I enjoy being a girl."

Up in the main area of the mansion, Jaune had some Scooby Snacks out.

"Okay, gang. Let's, like, split up and search for clues." Jaune comments. "Scoob and I will go  this way."
