  • Why wouldn't Scrooge and Beakley trust Webby and her skills when we the audience know that she has considerable skills? Heck, Beakley trained her granddaughter for this. Simple: character interaction. Beakley knows Webby is clever enough to capture Ma Beagle, but hasn't actually seen her in a combative situation. Plus, she has the whole "little overprotective" stuff from the pilot. And Scrooge only ever saw her in the context of the group getting surprised or working towards a new goal. So while he might know her commitment, he doesn't really know her training yet.
  • Since it’s more or less confirmed the Gummiberry Juice runs on the same rules as in Adventures of the Gummi Bears, with animals bouncing like rubber and humans/humanoids getting Super-Strength, then why don't any of the characters here get Super-Strength if this show treats them as if they were human? Because even though anthropomorphic, they are still animals at their core much like the Gummi Bears, and thus lack a humanoid physiology. As for creatures like the ogres in Adventures of The Gummi Bears, even if they are beast-like, their physiology is close enough to qualify them as humanoid, thus they get super strength.
  • Beakley's agent code number, 22, makes reference to her Alliterative Name, Bentina Beakley, as 'B' is the alphabet's second letter.
    • It's also a reference to British bingo lingo. The call for 22 is "two little ducks".
  • Of course Scrooge doesn't bother with a Code Name - he'd be recognized immediately anyway.
