** [[StatingTheSimpleSolution Because he wasn't in the picture of course.]] When gathering his group together, he picked up his triplets, beakley, gyro, launchpad and webby, but presumably, the picture that was taken was taken BY Donald. And much like when he accidentally covered up Webby with his thumb, Glomgold thought he wouldn't need a Donald. Also, presumably most of Duckburg knows that Donald Duck hasn't been seen in months due to "being on a cruise", so Glomgold probably didn't think he had to worry about it also.

* If Officer Cabrera knew that Louie Duck was running Louie's Kids, why didn't she do anything to stop the activities of this organization? Of course, she couldn't arrest him (he's just a child), but why didn't she tell his family or just demand that he close the organization? She's a police officer. Has she forgotten her direct duties? And no, the version that "Louie's kids" is already closed does not work. Podcast (episode 3) further understand that the organization still exists despite being under investigation in 49 states.

to:

** All the other criminal villains "stole" back their fortune as they left Glomgold. Presumably, Beaks was able to get his lawyers on a case of fraudulent transfer of ownership under false pretense. Alternatively, what mark gave Glomgold was just his personal fortune. And as we found out in episode 4, a lot of a billionaire's fortune is tied up in their company these days.

** Presumably, as the organization is still under investigation, she can't legally take action YET. Also, it's possible it's one of those cases which is on the backburner compared with others she's working on.

* Don't people whose luck is fed upon by a "luck vampire" suffer any side-effects? Sure, they're kept prisoner in a place like [[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E28ANicePlaceToVisit that Twilight Zone episode's]] version of {{Hell}}, but victims of {{Abstract Eater}}s usually suffer some physical or mental effects, as well -- losing their memory, losing energy until you waste away and die, being brainwashed, being unable to feel anything but something like despair or fear... Something that feeds upon luck, you would think, would cause the victim to lose their luck or something, but other than the fact that he's trapped, Gladstone seems perfectly fine, despite saying the luck vampire is constantly "feeding off" him.

** Just cause Lena is [[spoiler: TheMole, and befriending her to help her aunt Magica, it doesn't automatically mean she is an evil mastermind. From the looks of things, she really is an impulsive, reckless teenager. No doubt her plan was they crash the party, have some fun, get out before getting caught, and thus Webby now has a friend who likes dangerous stuff like she did. Then it went wrong, and she ended up having to improvise.]]

** Rockerduck was after the fountain a couple of episodes back. He would inform the other F.O.W.L. members of its location so they can get it. Bradford (the head of F.O.W.L.) went to St. Canard himself in the previous episode and knows about the Solego circuit.

** Well, Bradford's attempt to kill Donald ''did'' fail. Maybe if the cavalry hadn't shown up to save him, the papyrus' magic would have kicked in to protect him per the terms of the contract.

*** Related to the comedic explanation: maybe, after nobody understood what he was saying, he said his trademark "[[CatchPhrase phooey, phooey, phooey]]" in exasperation, which got misunderstood as "Huey, Dewey, Louie", and at point, he just decided to [[SureLetsGoWithThat go with it]].

* Panchito has a fantastic voice, and he plays the guitar; you can play the guitar and sing at the same time. Donald plays several instruments. Why isn't Panchito the lead singer/lead guitarist with José and Donald backing him?

* Why did Doofus allow himself to be punished? He kept half of the inheritance, so he can remain independent from his parents.

* What was Della thinking, leaving her son with DT-87? She knew that the robot was dangerous and could get out of control, even joked about it. What if it had happened and the robot had crippled Louie?


Added DiffLines:

** Doofus lost only half of the money. It is unclear why he obeys his parents at all.

** Louie also wanted to receive 50% of the profits of the Three Caballeros. So, he was interested in success, and not only in making his uncle pleasant. He probably just forgot about Donald's voice. Louie's plan wasn't that well thought out.

** Scrooge may claim to hate magic, but in practice, he keeps several magical artifact and creatures in his mansion, has many magical friend and allies and he even use magic for defense purpose. The Blot would hate him as much as every other magic user besides Magic, even more so since he could see him as a hypocrite. As for F.O.W.L., they want to rid the world of everything chaotic, and what is more chaotic than magic? Actually, if you think about it the Blot goals are more in line with Bradford's (even if more specific)than the others who seem to be in either for power, money, personal reasons (Gandra) or ForTheEvuls

** Scrooge has done the impossible often enough that Bradford saw it as a given he'd overcome somehow even cessation of existence (assuming it's even possible to truly erase a person body and soul). That's the point of the plan. Get Scrooge to agree to a deal, as he is just as known for keeping deals he makes.

*Why didn't Bradford just throw Scrooge into the vortex? His reasoning for not is that he thinks Scrooge will be able to escape the vortex but...that doesn't make any sense. The vortex erases things out of existence, I don't see how Scrooge could escape being erased from existence after he is thrown there.

* Why does Glomgold never consider finding a counterpart for Donald for his LeigonOfDoom? He is aware of who he is, as shown in the first episode and he was trying to find a counterpart for each of the main characters, so why did Glomgold never consider finding an evil Donald counterpart?


Added DiffLines:

** He probably just wanted to make Donald feel better considering Donald is practically his father figure. Or maybe he assumed Panchito and Jose would've tried to talk Donald out of being lead singer.
