What impresses me about this episode (and a small handful of others from season 1 of Mystery Inc) is how much detail was smoothly put into a ~22 minute show without it feeling spastic, rushed, or non-sensical. Plus, this an extremely pivotal episode for (1) the overall story arc (the gang learn the identities of the original Mystery Inc), (2) the personal relationships of the gang (the first signs of majr trouble develop here), and (3) exactly how serious the whole mystery is (Mr. E runs an elaborate espionage operation to provide the gang with information they wouldn't have found on their own while making them think that they found it).
