*** Things happen indeed. Remember, Louie ''agreed'' with Bradford on the merits of living in the real world, saying he always protests adventuring, but nobody listens, so it's pointless. And way back in the very first episode, the triplets all agree that Louie is the evil one. We should count ourselves lucky that Louie's CharacterDevelopment has been largely centered around right, wrong and responsibility, making him less likely to involve innocent people, even if he was to become estranged from his family later in life.

** Consider also that even if the line is cheesy and cliche, the Papyrus is ''binding'' and must act according to ExactWords. Bradford, in fact, ''did'' build an airtight contract. And it doesn't matter if he doesn't believe that family is the greatest adventure. It doesn't even matter whether ''Scrooge'' believes in it. All it takes to put the contract in a catch-22 is for just ''one'' member of Scrooge's family to believe those words, because as long as ''anyone'' in the family feels that just being with Scrooge is an adventure, the contract breaks, because Scrooge would be part of that family member's adventure. That they all believe it is just icing on the cake, but writing a contract that tries to control feelings and circumstances was just doomed from the start.

** Beakley's answer to Webby wasn't a total lie, as outside of talking about her nonexistant child and in-law, it is more or less exactly what happened. The moment she laid eyes on Webby was when she realized just how much of life she has missed out on, and buried her past to raise the duckling as her own.

** Alas, but no. In the series itself, there are no examples of Scrooge asking his nephew if he wants to go on an adventure or not. So it is impossible to completely rule out the possibility that Louie may become the new Bradford. Things happen.

* It is implied that Scrooge rented out Funso's entire facility for the birthday party, which would have included drinks and some amount of food (not to mention, kept innocents away should the raid go wrong). Thus, Webby asking for a cup for "water" and then getting Pep was not costing the facility anything: it was just a customer getting what had already been paid for. Check the waitress's expression as she hands over the cup: having learned of the scam from prior experience with Louie, she was knowingly indulging Webby, on an occasion where the waitress would not get in trouble for doing so. Webby and Louie thought Webby pulled a fast one, though.

* Manny is revealed to be this world's version of Goliath, who was a BigGood if KnightInSourArmor within the original ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' canon. Yet he is nicer, since he proclaims that he is no longer the horse he used to be, and likes being an intern and [=McDuck=] employee. In the first season finale, he told Little Bulb, "I need this job." That wasn't because he needed the income; Scrooge became Manny's MoralityChain and inspired him to be better, if less capable power-wise.

** Launchpad always admired Darkwing Duck and superheroes in general. He was always labeled as the goofy sidekick who couldn’t do anything right (especially as a pilot). The only time he was competent and helpful was when he was hit with the smart ray, only for Dewey to tell him that he liked Launchpad as himself. In the end, Launchpad learned he had the heart and courage of a hero the whole time and was able to save everyone by being himself. And now he is part of a new adventure with a new family (Drake Mallard and Gosalyn).

* Donald and Daisy planning to adopt May and June is more than just a signal of Donald's maturity. With two more kids now directly under his wing and in need of more guidance than most, he will have to withdraw - never entirely - from overseeing the boys. He trusts in the job he has done raising them, and in his twin sister to finally fully take up her position as an active mother. Sis, you got this - is what he seems to be saying.

** Goofy is shown among the people on Bradford's slideshow, indicating he's a target too. That's distressing enough, but consider that Goofy ''has a son.'' So [[WouldHurtAChild is Max among those trapped characters too,]] or did Bradford just take his father away and almost leave Max an orphan?
** While stuck on an island, Donald made a melon friend based on Mickey Mouse, implying they're still friends in this continuity. If that's the case, does this mean the Mouse himself was among these targets too? Or Minnie? Or Pluto?

They'd only had the fountain for a short time, whereas Drake was thought to have died decades before.


* Why is Von Drake still alive? F.O.W.L. stole the Fountain of Youth. This is fridge horror because of how that fountain worked. How many people were killed to keep their captive alive?

** She wants an epic final showdown with Scrooge, and he just faced a battle to the near death. It's likely she wanted to fight him when he wasn't as tired and in better shape.
** It's possible she and even the other villains are at least a bit grateful that the McDucks saved them from being brainwashed and wiped from existence.

to:

* Why does Magica just leave Scrooge and the others alone in the end? A few possible reasons.
** It's possible his remorse for wronging them in the previous episode actually resonated with them.
** Magica lost her brother because of her fight with Scrooge. Scrooge nearly lost everyone he loved today, and watched his beloved nephew get tossed into seeming oblivion, and already lost his neice for ten years. Adding to the above apology, he's a lot more humble and understands Magica's pain. Getting to inflict that same curse on someone [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou who claims themselves to be Scrooge's greatest enemy]] probably helped.

** There'd be no reason to have Webby get the Papyrus pre-series. The contract relies on forcing Scrooge to choose between adventuring and his family. Until the end of the first episode, Scrooge didn't care about either (that is, he thought he'd already lost them, so he had no emotional investment in it either way). Getting Webby involved without having Scrooge in a vulnerable state would have just been showing his hand. Webby became obsessed with a mailman who stopped coming to he house; how do you think she would have reacted if Scrooge's CEO asked her to do something and a glowing ancient scroll appeared out of thin air? Either she would tell Beakley, or Bradford would abduct her to stop her from telling Beakley and her absence would alert Beakley.

** If Goliath is in this universe, does that mean Demona is too, hatred of people and all? Thank goodness the series is over because Manny [[ThisIsGonnaSuck would not be pleased on seeing his ex again]]. And how about Xanatos? Througth, on the bright side, it also opens the possibility for versions of Elisa Maza, the Manhattan Clan, and other good characters from the series to exist in this universe as well.

* The villains leave peacefully after Magica transforms Bradford, not even stopping to say something like "Curse you [=McDuck=]!" Perhaps Scrooge's genuine apology in [[Recap/DuckTales2017S3E22TheLastAdventure the last episode]] had more of an impact than it appeared at the time.

* It was pointed out on the [[WhatAnIdiot/DuckTales2017 What An Idiot!]] page that before the Spear of Selene incident, Bradford could have just sided with Donald to get them to take a break from Adventuring, instead of telling Della about it so she'd impulsively take it. Given it was hinted Black Heron was corrupting Bradford into villainy, it's likely she nudged him into doing the more underhand thing rather than the boring, ethical choice of simply siding with Donald.

*When Lena first determines May and June "[are] Webby," Gyro is looking at some results of his own, looking very disturbed, and twice tries to say something only to be interrupted. Could he have seen something... familiar in their genetic makeup with implications for his boss that he couldn't comprehend...?
