What's New, Scooby-Doo?[]

Season one[]

Janet was preparing to perform a preliminary scan of an alien egg when it started to hatch. She ran out with the other scientists as the alien appeared to emerge. After Velma Dinkley won an award for winning the Future Scientist Contest, she introduced Janet to the gang. When Velma asked Janet for details on her latest research project, Janet claimed that it was classified. There had recently been complications preventing her from moving forward. She stated that they were nothing to worry about. Fred Jones asked her about what it takes to become an astronaut. Janet explained that it takes a lot of work and that she couldn't become one herself due to her fear of heights. Suddenly, the Space Ape made a brief appearance before everyone was present before disappearing. Janet described it as a complication.

Janet confronted Keith Dale about what happened. Keith said he was locking down the base as a safety measure and that the shuttle flight was cancelled. Velma asked her about the alien's authenticity, to which Janet replied that anything is possible. She explained that she sent a space probe to collect comet debris in the past month. Among them was the alien egg that hatched earlier that evening. She tried to warn everyone about the alien's presence, but they wouldn't believe her. She told the gang to be careful while investigating the Space Ape.

The gang later ran into her while she was training a chimpanzee named Reggie. Janet talked about how amazing Reggie was and how she could train him to do anything.

When Janet caught Velma holding her research folder, she became visibly upset. While Elliott Blender brought out the file, she explained that the gang could explore anywhere they wanted, but her data was off-limits.

Janet Lawrence unmasked

Janet unmasked.

When the Space Ape was captured, it was revealed to be Janet herself. Her project wasn't completed in time for the shuttle launch. Instead of facing the humiliation of admitting her mistake, she came up with the Space Ape to prevent the shuttle from launching. It explained why she wouldn't let anyone look at her data. It was also mentioned that she couldn't chase Daphne across the gangplank near the top of the space shuttle due to her fear of heights.

Janet also used her degree in biochemistry to create an allergy powder that caused a rash on Captain Treesdale's arm. When asked about the short alien, the gang explained that Janet trained Reggie the chimpanzee to wear the costume. Then she wore the costume for the medium version and wore stilts for the taller version. As for the alien egg, it was dehydrated organic material. When Janet wanted to make the egg appear to be hatching, she only needed to add a little water.

Janet exclaimed that she would have gotten away with her crime if it weren't for the meddling kids. She assaulted the officers near her before attempting to escape. Celia Clyde, who was an undercover FBI agent, tripped her before she was able to.
