History Recap / DuckTales2017S1E17FromTheConfidentialCasefilesOfAgent22

* CompanyCrossReferences: Beakley and Scrooge rescue a falling Webby with a FastballSpecial and parachute landing combo, similar to Bob and Helen rescuing Jack-Jack in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: A ''Tyrannosaurus'' skull was shown at the auction.

** Scrooge getting his special cane with [[ShoePhone hidden weapons]] is a clear nod to the ''Franchise/JamesBond'' films, with Ludwig Von Drake in the role of Q. Complete with Scrooge ignoring the gadget briefing. The gadget filled cane is called "the Von Drake Action Cane PPK", a reference to Bond's WeaponOfChoice, the Walther PPK.

* OhCrap: This reaction is written all over Scrooge's face when he finds a lone feather belonging to Black Heron and realizes what has happened to Beakley.

* DopeSlap: Beakley punches out Scrooge when he refused to bid 60,000 pounds and allowed Black Heron to get away with the recipe so they can get it back later.

** In the flashback, it is shown how Heron lost her arm (though we get a GoryDiscretionShot just in time).

** Averted with Scrooge, perhaps because he is a freelance agent.

* AdultFear:
** Black Heron [[WouldHurtAChild threatens to shoot Webby in the head]] if Beakley doesn't give up the bounce formula. Beakley quickly complies in order to save her granddaughter.
** Before that happens, Beakley yells at Scrooge for bringing Webby along on the rescue mission as Black Heron is a dangerous enemy.
** At the beginning of the episode, Scrooge tells Webby that she can't come with him because this is not their usual adventure, this is deadly serious. He's none too happy when he finds out she stowed-away anyway and he has no choice but to let her join him.

* WouldHurtAChild: Webby comes ''this close'' to getting shot point blank by Black Heron.

** Beakley and Scrooge rescue a falling Webby with a FastballSpecial and parachute landing combo, similar to Bob and Helen rescuing Jack-Jack in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''.

* RealityEnsues: Black Heron tries breaking her fall by grabbing the ledge with her metal arm. Her body just breaks off from the arm and keeps falling, to an uncertain doom.

* AppliedPhlebotinum: The ancient potion created by the druids of Castle Dunwyn, a.k.a. [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears gummiberry juice]]. F.O.W.L. wants to use it to create an army of bouncing super-soldiers. In addition to the bouncing (which can produce leaps of hundreds of feet if desired) and the user's immunity to injury from said bouncing while the juice's effects are active, it allows the user of the juice to vibrate their way out of constraints like ropes.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Scrooge has something of a cavalier attitude on danger so when he refuses to bring the kids along to rescue Mrs. Beakley, you know something very serious is up indeed.

* TyrannosaurusRex: A ''Tyrannosaurus'' skull was shown at the auction.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Invoked. Scrooge says a bunch of stuff about Webby, like her being a DamselInDistress, to get Black Heron to underestimate her and let her guard down.

* RewatchBous: The episode takes on an entirely new light following the twist in the series finale.

* TheEndingChangesEverything: The episode takes on an entirely new light following [[LukeYouAreMyFather the twist in the series finale]].

** Black Heron [[WouldHurtAChild threatens to shoot Webby in the head]] if Beakley doesn’t give up the bounce formula. Beakley quickly complies in order to save her granddaughter.

** Black Heron [[WouldHurtAChild threatens to shoot Webby in the head]] if Beakley doesnÂ’t give up the bounce formula. Beakley quickly complies in order to save her granddaughter.

* EpicFail: When Webby sees the kitchen after Black Heron abducted Mrs. Beakley from there, she assumes Donald tried to make an omelet again. Scrooge points out it can't be what happened because Donald ''still'' hasnÂ’t gotten out of the pantry.

* GilliganCut: In the original mission, Scrooge failed to stop the last robot guard. Beakley insists on finishing it off, but Scrooge gives a blasé response about how they won't be seeing it again. Cut back to the present, where Scrooge is fighting that very same robot.

* PiranhaProblem: Black Heron's secret lair has a piranha pond right in front of its entrance. [[ForgotToFeedTheMonster In the present day, theyÂ’re all dead due to the lair being abandoned for decades.]]

** Played for laughs as Scrooge and Beakley are sent to an auction to buy a page from a medieval tome containing alchemy secrets before F.O.W.L. does. SHUSH only gave Scrooge a budget of £60,000 and Scrooge being Scrooge is simply shocked at Beakley's suggestion that he should tap into his own substantial fortune to win the auction.
