WMG / Ducktales 2017 Future Episodes And Plot

Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel and the Avengers will show up in a future episode, ala Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel but as animals

Since Disney owns Marvel, why not?

• If this happens, it'd be their animal counterparts, like Spider-Ham and Iron Mouse. Because this show appears to have a "no humans" policy.

There will be a Geodesic Cast

• We already have the triplets and Webby, Lena, and Violet Saberwing
• It could expand with another Power Trio,
  • The Superheroes as Gizmoduck, Darkwing, and a potential third
  • Two other villains joining Magica (Possibly Glomgold and Goldie)

There will be a Greater-Scope Villain

Flintheart will be the Big Bad, but there'll be a darker, more threatening character working behind the scenes. And it will be...

• Merlock, from DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp.
• Magica Despell. Same deal as Merlock in her capacity for spells, but more recognizable to work with.
• Blackheart Beagle, leading a villain team up like in the 50th anniversary story.
  • They seem to be going down this route with Magica, who is so far only a Living Shadow, but the creators hinted that at her full powers she may be as dangerous as Bill Cipher.

One of the triplets will take an interest in magic.

Huey seems to be the most obvious candidate, but this could happen with any of the trio, as their adventures reveal to them that actual, factual magic exists in their world. This leads to some tension with Scrooge, due to all of his bad experiences with magic. And of course, there's how Magica inevitably decides to take advantage of this development...

• Donald might end up learning magic, as a nod to his knack for it in another continuity...
• It's actually Webby who gets interested in magic.

Mrs. Beakley will not just be Scrooge's housekeeper, but his bodyguard.

The new opening seems that she does not seem to be uncomfortable in dangerous situations, and she is shown striking a fighting pose twice, once in response to the appearance of a dragon. It would make sense that Scrooge would want some muscle to keep his treasure safe, as well as to watch his back while on his numerous adventures. Maybe that's where Webby heard all the stories of Scrooge and Donald.

• Indeed from what we've seen she appears to be Scrooge's only remaining servant. We've confirmation that Duckworth will be seen, but he may be a former employee that Scrooge either fired or left on his own when his boss lost his zest for adventure.
  • Duckworth is indeed Scrooge's former employee, but he died some time before the triplets met Scrooge.

Mrs. Beakley and Donald will have a bit of a rivalry.

A promotional image shows Donald freaking out over his houseboat catching fire while Mrs. Beakly looks on serenely. We already know that Webby is obsessed with Donald, perhaps the nephews begin to idolize Mrs. Beakly for her strength and general badassery. This will lead to the two being jealous of the other for having the love of their kid(s).

• Partially confirmed. In "Daytrip of Doom!", Beakley's Control Freak tendencies in running the house run up against Donald's fierce independent streak hard, but by the end of the episode they've come to an arrangement and seem to be friends. We've yet to see whether the peace will hold, since Donald and Beakley haven't shared the spotlight in an episode since then.

Webby's parents will be brought up.

It's possible that whatever caused Donald and Scrooge's falling out involved them and when Donald finds out that Webby's living with Scrooge he is going to be genuinely angry, not just his usual tantrum throwing.

• Donald raging about it is at least Jossed, as there have been several episodes featuring the two sharing in the adventure.

Webby will be Secretly Wealthy

Her parents were wealthy ducks that were friends with Scrooge and when something happened to them it left her with a sizable inheritance. Webby is too young to deal with that right now however and Mrs. Beakly is raising her without any awareness of such an inheritance, possibly because of having seen what fortune has done to Scrooge.

• The secret will be revealed to the viewers and to Donald's nephews when the heroes, for some reason, need to seek shelter at her parents' manor.
• Mostly jossed, but her father surely is a rich duck. the richest one in the world, indeed.

Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera is mixed race.

Crackshell comes from his "white" American mother, while Cabrera comes from his (presumably Mexican Latino) father. Due to convenient coincidences, Quentin's father was friends with Panchito, allowing him to appear on the reboot, while José Carioca is just...there because Panchito is.

• Partially Jossed: Fenton is Cubano, not Mexican, so there's no reason for him to necessarily know Panchito. That being said, the Three Caballeros were considered for Season 1, but the episode was axed. Still, Season 2 is already confirmed, so never say never...
  • Also, it's long been established that Jose and Panchito are Donald's close friends, so there doesn't need to be a connection to Fenton to have them in the show.

There will be a musical episode

C'mon, you don't get Kate Micucci and Lin-Manuel Miranda for the same show and not expect a musical episode! The trend is pretty en vogue as of the last few years, as shows like Batman: The Brave and the Bold, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Sofia the First , and Steven Universe have shown. The cast reveal trailer showed that the entire cast has a decent set of pipes, actually.

• Another possible cast member for a theoretical musical episode: Oscar Isaac, who showed off his impressive musical chops in Inside Llewyn Davis. He probably won't be doing much singing as Poe Dameron, and he's already doing work with Disney, so...
• Riki Lindhome (Kate's partner from Garfunkel and Oates) would be a great casting choice too.
• "Sky Pirates... in the Sky!" is sort of a Musical Episode - it features a Villain Song that is reprised several times over the course of the episode.

The show will also address the question of who is the boy's father

Perhaps he couldn't accept his wife's disappearance and went looking for her only to never come home himself.

• Just for laughs his name will be Howard.

Donald Duck and Della Duck

will have a third sibling.Given that we know Donald at least has a sister in Della Duck, there's no reason to assume there are not more siblings. Indeed, things like twins and triplets tend to run in families, and its possible Donald is part of a set similar to Huey, Dewey, and Louie. it would then follow that Donald is like Huey, being responsible if unlucky, and Della would be more like Dewey, an adventurous type who might have gotten into more trouble than she bargained for (leading to Donald and Scrooge splitting up and being harsh on each other as we have seen). This could also mean the last sibling might turn out to be evil, given that Webby almost immediately asks which of the three is the 'Evil Triplet' as if it were a regular thing.

• Donald and Della are part of a set of twins, but maybe they have a younger or older third sibling.

If the mystery of what happened to Della is solved, one of the boys will use Scrooge's time machine to try and fix it.

Solving mysteries, rewriting history.

• Defied. While Dewey's time-travel adventure in "The Last Christmas!" is entirely unplanned, he does try to warn young Della and Donald about the Spear of Selene incident, but they quickly shut him down to prevent a temporal paradox.
  • Della gets back from the moon safely, without the use of time-travel.

Della Duck isn't dead, will be back, and her return will set the stage for a reboot of Darkwing Duck

.

Since only the first episode has premiered so far, there is a large chance things will be completely jossed fairly quickly, but go with me on this. If Della isn't dead and is merely missing and presumed dead, there is a decent chance that she'll reappear at the end of the season. And if they manage to bring her back with them, it'll seriously change up the dynamic of the family (while paving the way for various episodes dealing with the triplets getting to know her and she and Donald butting heads over parenting styles). But, based on her outfit in the portrait shown in the first episode, Della was a pilot just as Donald is a sailor. If they want to go on adventures together in the second season, she can fly them just as easily as Launchpad (and possibly with fewer crashes). Now, while this might seem like a bad thing that would leave Launchpad superfluous to the team, it would free him up as a possibility to move to St. Canard and become a sidekick for the Terror that Flaps in the Night. And if we end up with "DuckTales" and "Darkwing Duck" running at the same time, it'll be a lot easier to have proper crossover episodes and members of the cast for each show can still interact and appear on the other.

• Della is alive on the moon, so at least that part is confirmed. Whether it'll lead to more Darkwing, outside of it being a show within a show is anyone's guess.
• Partially Confirmed. Della has returned and revealed that she was the family pilot and states that she isn't happy with Launchpad replacing her. And Launchpad has convinced Drake Mallard to become a real life Darkwing Duck.

Mrs. Beakley will receive a promotion once Duckworth is brought on

And be made Scrooge's personal assistant. That way she can be justified coming on occasional adventures, and can be put in her place for jokes with Scrooge saying, "As a matter of fact, you are my secretary now."

• Unlikely, as Duckworth returns as a ghost rather than a new employee of Scrooge.

Webby will make a friend named Sabina

And she'll be Swedish.

Mrs. Beakley is training Webby, not only to protect herself, but to serve as a Bodyguard to the triplets in the future.

Mrs. Beakley has been encouraging Scrooge to reconnect with his family for years (thus her emotional investment in her boss's personal life) because she knows that, despite his eccentricities, he has a heart of gold. Someone with both his morals and his financial power can do amazing things for the world, and if the McDuck fortune disappears or falls into the wrong hands after Scrooge's passing, it could lead to INTERNATIONAL issues. Thus her encouraging Scrooge to, in essence, groom his successors.

Despite her faith in him, Mrs. Beakley understands more than anyone how much help and protection Scrooge needs, so she reasonably (and correctly) assumes the Duck family will be similarly both brilliant and incompetent. Any one of them who inherits the McDuck fortune will need someone like Mrs. Beakley to keep them both in line and out of danger, and with her granddaughter already so interested in the McDuck family and their adventures, encouraging and training Webby means that the McDuck line (and the world's economy, which must have grown at least somewhat reliant on the gold of an altruistic duck) is secure, while also letting Webby grow up to be exactly who she wants to be.

The boys' father was never in their lives

Going off of a couple of earlier WMG, but going a tad darker (at least by Disney TV standards). As far as this troper knows, the triplets father has never been given a name or even a design, and any reference to him involves a bit of digging. One way to explain that (aside from the stereotypical Disney way) is that he simply left. At most he may appear in a Whole Episode Flashback or is mentioned in a couple of throwaway lines from Donald and Scrooge with a heavy implication that he left Della when she learned she was having the triplets (and that the uncles have nothing nice to say about him as a result). Either way, their father was never there, but Donald was.

• Here is (presumably) the only picture of the triplets' father from the comics. He's never been named, but Word of God supposedly says he's Daisy's brother, so that might be why Donald doesn't appear to be with Daisy in this series. The triplets' nameless dad had a falling-out with Donald, and Daisy took her brother's side, so they broke up. Alternately, the dad disappeared with Della, and seeing Donald makes Daisy too distraught, as it reminds her of her brother.
  • Daisy appears in DuckTales (2017) S3 E5 "Louie's Eleven!"
• The flashbacks in The Last Crash of the Sunchaser gives a lot of weight to this WMG. In flashbacks to when the triplets were in their eggs, their father was completely absent and Donald had already taken over the role.

Della's husband/the triplets' father will be an antagonist.

Unlike Donald, who blamed Scrooge for the loss of his sister but learned to cope, Della's husband went over the edge with grief, and vowed to take revenge on Scrooge for his selfishness and carelessness. He would ideally be a season's Knight of Cerebus, as he is not about to take Scrooge's money or hurt his reputation, but to break him.

Louie's status as the (supposed) Evil Triplet, while Played for Laughs in the pilot, will come back to bite everyone in the tailfeathers.

Specifically, if any of the villains have a plan to convert/brainwash one of the kids, they will choose him. The McDuck/Duck family will face their Darkest Hour because of it. They pull a "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight and it does not work. An added layer of pain to this is that Louie is the baby of their family.

• Looking dangerously likely by the end of "The Outlaw Scrooge McDuck!"
• The WMG as written is Confirmed as of "Timephoon!", though there was no conversion or brainwashing involved; all it took was Louie's greed and lack of concern for consequences. He does not learn his lesson; while he only joins Glomgold as a Fake Defector, he doesn't really learn his lesson until "The Richest Duck in the World!" In the process of learning humility, he wrecks Earth's defenses, leaving the way open for the villain and the Season Finale.

Mark Beaks and Gyro Gearloose have a connection

Beaks made his money through the tech industry. Gyro is an Gadgeteer Genius coming up with break-through technology. Maybe at some point Gyro worked for Beaks.

• Seems to be Jossed. Gyro is implied to have been working for Scrooge for years in "The Great Dime Chase!", whereas Beaks seems to have become rich fairly recently in "The Infernal Internship of Mark Beaks!".
• The only connection they seem to have is that Beaks often steals Gyro's inventions and try to brand and sell them as his own.

Little Bulb, Gyro's robot, will be evil.

It (or a giant version of it) is running among the Rogues Gallery in the intro, chasing the protagonists. It will get out of hand and turn against its master. The episode featuring it will practically be a remake of the DuckTales (1987) episode "Armstrong".

• Little Bulb falls victim to A.I. Is a Crapshoot in the third episode, but mostly because it was mistreated by Louie. The giant version of it comes from when it basically fused with a money-sorting machine.
• In the eleventh episode, BUDDY's core AI is revealed to be a copy of Little Bulb, for which Beaks stole the blueprints. And it goes on a rampage again after Mark Beaks calls it a "dumb robot". Also, the episode is pretty much a remake of "Armstrong", with a Man Versus Machine race between Launchpad and BUDDY.

Dewey’s Adaptation Name Change will be referenced as a gag.

Likely in the form of someone who has no clue what ‘Dewey’ is supposed to be short for and takes a shot in the dark. Or if we happen to see a flashback with Della choosing names for the boys and Deuteronomy was her first choice.

• Well it's neither confirmed nor jossed, but Frank Angones said that Deuteronomy is now Dewey's middle name.
• We do learn Della's name choices for the boys in "Nothing Can Stop Della Duck!", but it's Jet for Huey, Turbo for Dewey and Rebel for Louie.

Scrooge raised Donald and Della.

Hortense and Quackmore passing away early in Donald's life is widespread in stories about his past. Usually, he and Della were taken in by their paternal grandparents, but in the show's canon, the Duck twins had adventures with Scrooge long enough for Webby to recognize Donald at least as "Mr. McDuck's sidekick." Potentially, Hortense willed her son and daughter into the care of her brother, and he adopted them when Donald and Della were a bit older than the triplets.

• Scrooge's nonchalance to the triplets and Webby roughhousing in "Daytrip of Doom!", and having ideas of what to expect (forgetting to put the lid on the peanut butter after use and using staircases as skate ramps) does a lot to imply this isn't the first time kids have been running around the manor. Especially since Webby seems to keep a reverent distance from Scrooge and had no friends beforehand.

There will be an episode focused on Webby/the triplets' birthdays

The two events will be very, very close — maybe a day apart, with Webby being just one day younger than the boys. When Webby's birthday happens, the boys will give her a surprise present: they'll tell her that she may not share blood with them, but as far as they're concerned, she's a part of their family — the little sister they never had. Their words will make her incredibly excited, and she calls this the greatest present she could ever get.

• Zigzagged. There's no birthday episode, but the series finale reveals that Webby is the triplets' biological cousin, having been made from Scrooge's DNA.

Mrs. Beakley’s true job is to keep Scrooge in line.

Daytrip of Doom has Beakley telling Donald she’s a spy and then brushing it off as a Sarcastic Confession. Between that, what she’s taught Webby, and the items Webby just has (her grappling hook gun, her thermal vision goggles) it seems more than obvious that Beakley wasn’t lying. But why would a spy be posing as a trillionaire’s housekeeper? Well, let’s look at some of the items Scrooge has in his garage in the first episode. A vengeful ghost, a sword that doesn’t rest until it’s target is killed, a petrified dragon, and a gauntlet that can turn living matter to stone (not sure how to count the headless man-horse). And later we learn that Gyro’s robots regularly turn on him, and Miss Quakfaster takes her job a bit too seriously. Mrs. Beakley’s true job may very well be to prevent Scrooge from taking over or destroying the world. Think about it, Scrooge has the money, know-how, and items to easily turn super-villain if he wanted. Whoever Beakley works for likely realized the same thing.

• Partially confirmed — but it's not Beakley, it's the Board of Directors, keeping Scrooge in check so they can run F.O.W.L. right under his nose.

One episode will involve Webby losing her memories

How this affects her is up in the air, maybe making her adorably bashful like her original appearance, or obsessively paranoid like she was before knowing who the triplets were, or violently angry or what have you. It could even be Brainwashing her into being evil. The family will do everything they can to get her back to normal, but it'll be all for naught at first. However, then they'll bring her into her room, and she'll see the board. And she'll see how she's connected to the triplets with the red marker of "friends". And that will be the beginning of her slowly regaining her memories.

Webby's parents disappeared during the Spear of Selene incident

Webby is the same age as the triplets, and she also lost her parents. Mrs. Beakley was already working for Scrooge when the Spear of Selene incident happened, so it is likely that Webby's parents knew Della Duck, and their disappearance is connected to hers.

• Jossed - unless Webby's parents were among the astronauts that Scrooge launched into space to find Della.
  • So, not Jossed, and that would work perfectly. Webby's parents were among the volunteers who went to search for Della. But they didn't come back and maybe were definitely killed). Beakley doesn't hold it against Scrooge (any more?) because she knows her daughter and son-in-law were adventurous and heroic, so of course they would jump at the chance. Beakley retired from S.H.U.S.H. when she realized she had to raise her infant granddaughter, and Scrooge invited them to live with him out of guilt and oblingation.

[[spoiler: now completly jossed. Due to how she is convivenza is nucleare if she even have a mother, and here father... well, he was here the whole time, hidden in plain sight.

Darkwing Duck will try and recruit Fenton/Gizmoduck for S.H.U.S.H.

According to the producers, Darkwing will have a cameo in the Gizmoduck episode. My guess it will be in the closing moments of the episode and Darkwing will give Fenton a speech like Nick Fury did in the stinger to the first Iron Man movie.

• Jossed. Darkwing is introduced in the opening moments of the Gizmoduck episode - as a fictional character, the protagonist of a Show Within a Show.
  • Or not, as "The Duck Knight Returns" has revealed that the actor in reboot of the Show Within a Show has decided to become Darkwing for real.

Donald being The Unfavorite of Scrooge will be expanded on.

A Whole Episode Flashback in the comics shows Scrooge getting along a lot better with Della than with Donald, who was pushed to the side and made to carry the bags. After remembering this treatment, possibly being put through it again in the present, Donald calls his uncle out for the insensitivity to his feelings. Hurt and ashamed, Scrooge shows Donald a secret: A room in the money bin's archives much like Della's, but dedicated to his exploits. Artifacts he personally discovered, trophies from battles, medals from Naval services, and even awards and ribbons from school functions. With this and an apology, Scrooge proves Donald has always been a precious part of the old duck's life.

There will be an episode where Scrooge has to justify his adventuring expenses to the board

Maybe even have to work to buy it back or something. Because let's face it. As much as the buzzards might be okay with bringing in unique sources of income like he did with the Jewel of Atlantis, I'm pretty sure that Scrooge globetrotting with a pilot who ruins one plane per trip with no true income that comes from it is going to ruffle some feathers with the board.

• "The Golden Armory of Cornelius Coot!" establishes that it's always the same plane, as incredible as that sounds. Launchpad can basically put it back together from a pile of parts. But Scrooge most likely just uses his personal wealth for that, as it's not something related to McDuck Industries properties. When Scrooge loses his company to Louie Duck, he's not broke, just unemployed.

The Impossible Summit of Mount Neverest provides important foreshadowing for a contrast that will happen later in the series

So Dewey and Webby are determined beyond all else to figure out what happened to Della Duck. Huey meanwhile mentions that one key proviso of being an adventurer is to know when it's time to give up. As such, an important moment will happen later in the series where Huey will confront Dewey over his obsessive ways, and ask if finding the truth is worth the cost in the strain the search might put on their family.

• It happens, in a way, in "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser": as the last piece of the picture of Della and the Spear of Selene flies out of the window of the Sunchaser and gets caught on one of the propellers, Dewey climbs out onto the wing of the plane, risking tipping it over and crashing it into the ground. However, the entire family, not just Huey, tells him to stop and not risk the life of everyone just to find out the truth.

Scrooge and Ludwig Von Drake had a rivalry similar to Donald and Gladstone.

That is, a one-sided competition over who was the "cool" uncle. As kids, Donald and Della tended to show more enthusiasm for their Absent-Minded Professor uncle than their Gentleman Adventurer uncle. Scrooge resented this and constantly tried to one-up Ludwig, consciously because it wounded his pride and subconsciously out of jealousy. Unlike Gladstone, Ludwig was Innocently Insensitive instead of smug, and he was only the cool uncle in the eyes of the twins for his friendliness in the face of Scrooge's stuffiness.

• Unlikely, as Della has no reaction to Ludwig's recordings in "Raiders of the Doomsday Vault!"

Blackarts Beagle and Magica will team up.

To advance his skills in black magic, Blackarts Beagle will obtain the medallion from Lena and ends up summon Magica. She will use Blackarts Beagle as a pawn to reclaim her physical form, and possibly turn the other Beagle Boys into her minions in the process.

Gyro intended to wear the Gizmoduck suit himself.

In the episode that first hinted at Gizmoduck, "The Great Dime Chase," when Gyro first thought up the idea of Project: Blatherskite, he said the words "Gyro is Robot." Kind of suggests he's building a robot suit for himself, and never expected anyone to wear the suit.

Perhaps he thought, while building it, that such an invention could prove very useful to criminals, like the Beagle Boys, Glomgold, or even Mark Beaks. (Perhaps Huey and Dewey let it slide to Gyro that Mark faked Project: Ta Dah!, or could see straight through Mark's facade, and knows that perhaps knows that Mark could steal and use Project: Blatherskite as a substitute for the fake project.) So, he made the machine codeword-activatable, and used either "Blatherskite" or "Blathering Blatherskite" as the codeword, believing that he is the only person who would use that word/phrase.

And, of course, it turns out that his intern, Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera, also uses the phrase "Blathering Blatherskite." (Either that, or working with Gyro and hearing that phrase so much perhaps had Fenton eventually saying it.) And, just like in the original show, Fenton says the phrase in front of (unbeknownst to him) the recently-completed Gizmoduck, activating it, and having it acknowledge Fenton as the controller of it.

And perhaps while in the suit, things go haywire (The trousers have gone haywire!) that has Gyro racing around Duckberg to stop Fenton from doing anything stupid, but in the end, he allows his intern to keep the suit, with confidence that he'll do good things with it.

Storkules will be a major recurring character.

He'll possibly even be a member of the Justice Ducks, where he'll be their equivalent to The Mighty Thor and/or The Incredible Hercules.

• He is set to return at least for one episode, titled "Storkules in Duckburg!"
• He also returns in "Moonvasion!" and Word of God says we'll see him next season, so I'm calling it Confirmed.

Jim Starling will meet Launchpad in person in a future episode.

He will be a washed-up television actor who only lives off that one role that made him famous, Darkwing Duck. Launchpad, a big fan of him who Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality, expects him to be like his TV character, resulting in a Broken Pedestal moment when they finally meet. However, due to some turn of events, he'll actually have to dress up as his character and team up with Launchpad to defeat a villain. This way, the fans will get the crossover with Darkwing Duck they are longing for.

• The episode will play out a lot like the episode "Beware the Gray Ghost" from Batman: The Animated Series.
• Confirmed.

Jim Starling is Negaduck

Jim Starling and Drake Mallard are two different ducks. Drake became a superhero, modeling himself off of his favorite TV show. Jim Starling is a broken, out-of-work actor desperate to reclaim the spotlight. He makes a deal with a young witch wearing a pendant and restores his body to its prime. His career skyrocketed as a result. Unfortunately, all magic has a price, and the cost of healing Jim's physical stability was his mental stability. He started to grow more violent, aggressive, and sadistic, with an ever-growing fascination with sharp objects. He doesn't take the news of a real Darkwing Duck well. So he creates a new version of the outfit, replacing the purple and green suit with yellow and red, a red hat instead of a grey one, and the purple and blue cape with a red and black one, and decides to pay Drake a visit.

• Mostly Confirmed. Jim remains older but does become Negaduck and Drake Mallard is inspired by the original Darkwing to become a superhero.

Darkwing Duck, Gosalyn, and all his villains and allies are victims of a Magica De Spell Curse

Word of God has stated there is more to what we saw that just a brief cameo. We know that Magica was defeated 15 years before the start of the series and Launchpad appears to be younger than Donald, which would mean that he could have been a child when she was defeated. When Scrooge confronted her he was aided by Darkwing Duck but she placed a curse on him, Gosalyn, and all of St. Canard so that they were trapped in the TV series. Scrooge and the gang will free Darkwing and he will have to deal with a world that has moved on without him.

• Jossed.

Magica De Spell will use a spell to bring Darkwing's villains to the real world...

...and Launchpad will trick her into bringing Darkwing, Gosalyn, and their allies to the real world. The episode will end with S.H.U.S.H. deciding to set Darkwing up in St. Canard to help deal with the escaped villains and Launchpad will volunteer to join him to help him and Gosalyn deal with the real world, setting up for a spin-off

• Half-jossed in that Darkwing and Negaduck are now real, and it's heavily implied the Show Within a Show never had a Gosalyn, rendering their parts in the guess moot.
  • Also jossed in that Magica had anything to do with it. It's entirely Taurus Bulba's fault that they entered the real world.

The ducks will visit a Lost World full of Living Dinosaurs

...And Webby will finally get a chance to high-five a Brontosaurus.

• It may be a set-up for Bubba's introduction in the show.
  • Bubba has been introduced in "Timephoon" via Time Travel rather than a Lost World.
• Alternatively, they may visit a wildlife refuge with cloned dinosaurs, resulting in a Jurassic Farce. It helps that Scrooge owned a zoo in both the original cartoon and comics.

The actress playing Gosalyn will appear in an episode.

Word of God confirms that there was a Gosalyn in the Darkwing Duck Show Within a Show that Launchpad grew up watching. A future episode featuring Jim Starling (the actor who played Darwking) will also feature his co-star, the child actress who played Gosalyn. But since Darkwing Duck is a live-action show in-universe that aired when Launchpad was a child, it means Gosalyn's actress is roughly the same age as him, thus She Is All Grown Up by now. Launchpad has a Celeb Crush on her and she may even become his Love Interest.

• Jossed. God Never Said That the show had a Gosalyn; he just said that Darkwing without a Gosalyn is not Darkwing. And now we know the Darkwing from the show was no true Darkwing, thanks to his becoming Negaduck and another taking up the hero's title.

Mrs. Beakley's brooch is a tracking device.

In the flashback, she wore an identical-looking brooch on her dress that she attached on to Black Heron so that she can track her. She's wearing a similar device (or perhaps exactly the same one), and she will use it in a later episode to track another villain.

A special Halloween episode will feature Paddywhack as an antagonist

It would be a pretty great way to have the show reference the story of It and have him be a full blown nightmarish Knight of Cerebus.

• Jossed. But Paddywhack did appear on the Show Within a Show.

The triplets have Divine Parentage.

Their father will turn out to be the Greek sun god Helios, moon goddess Selene's brother, who is often depicted with a spear in some pieces of art. "Taking the Spear of Selene" is a vague message informing Donald and Scrooge that Helios needs to be rescued (perhaps he's trapped in a fight against something powerful or he's being punished for their Maligned Mixed Marriage) and Della will be taking him back.

• One part is Jossed: "Taking the Spear of Selene" refers to the space rocket that Della stole from Scrooge.

A future episode will involve lift of the curse on castle McDuck.

Fergus and Dowey will become mortal, and start aging again leaving them with a few decades before they die of old age.

• According to Word of God, those who leave the castle grounds will lose their immortality and continue aging normally.

Each season will put focus on one of the kids

Dewey's had the most focus of all of the kids during Season 1 to divisive results. The plan might be for each season to have one of the others in the spotlight like he has been.

• Confirmed by Word of God. Season 1 is Dewey's with a theme of "solving mysteries," season 2 is Louie's with a theme of "rewriting history," and season 3 is confirmed to be Huey's with no theme yet stated.

The cosmic storm that took Della was actually a time warp

She didn't crash on the Moon until mere weeks or months before the events of the show, which is why Scrooge's space fleet was never able to find her.

• Jossed. "What Ever Happened to Della Duck?" shows that she did spend 10 entire years on the Moon, and Scrooge's space fleet simply failed to spot her due to bad luck.

Drake von Vladstone, aka Dracula Duck will be brought in from the NES game

His summining was Magica's doing in the games. Considering that she's been highly depowered after the Season 1 finale, but still knowledgeable of magic, bringing him back could be one way for her to gain a means for revenge on Scrooge.

Fethry Duck will pull off his Superpowered Alter Ego Red Bat

He will then compete with Gizmoduck to fight crime in Duckburg.

• "Compete" seems a little out of character for Fethry... he's more likely to want to help Gizmoduck fight crime. The two do meet and team up in issue #20 of the tie-in comic in order to stop a runaway robot/donut-maker, though there's no mention of the Red Bat and Fethry remains in his normal identity througout.

Della survived on the moon this long due to magical means.

And Scrooge possibly knows about this, because why would he keep searching for years unless he had some reason to believe she was alive? Theories:

• She also took some kind of magic artifact that keeps her alive in hostile environments; Scrooge is over a hundred years old, he has to have some life-sustaining magical doohickie lying around somewhere.
• The rocket was named after Selene because it was blessed by the goddess of the moon herself, and that blessing keeps Della alive in space as long as she stays inside part of the rocket.
• Landing on the moon let her communicate with Selene long enough to make a magical deal; Selene granted her the ability to survive there, but the cost was either that Selene couldn't tell anyone where she was or help her in any way, or that Selene's memories of Della contacting her were erased entirely so the goddess has no idea she's there.
• Jossed. She survived due to Gyro's "Oxy-Chew" gums.

All three triplets will steadily start to gain disappointment, or even resentment, towards their mother for stealing the Spear of Selene for a joy ride when she had kids on the way.

This will culminate to where after they reunite with their mother, they harshly criticize Della for her actions and tell her they want nothing more to do with her. This will then result in Scrooge having to help Della reconnect with her kids.

• Jossed. Only Louie shows disappointment and resentment towards her, whereas Dewey and Huey reconnect with her really quickly.

Season 3 will focus on the identity of the triplets' father

In light of the end of season 1, it's a very safe bet that season 2 will end with Della finally being reunited with her family. Once she's back, one of the first questions the boys ask her is very likely to be the identity of their father and what happened between him and Della, since it's implied that Della is the only person capable of providing those answers. Whatever answer she gives, one of the boys, most likely Huey since season 3 is expected to focus more on him, will be inspired to start investigating further, and the overarching plot of the season will be driven by him stumbling onto something that Della either didn't know about or would have preferred to keep hidden.

• According to Word of God the focus of season 3 will be Huey becoming a Conspiracy Theorist and rooting out F.O.W.L., but the triplets' father could still be a subplot ... or part of the answer to the main one.

An episode will focus on Donald's Hair-Trigger Temper

Scrooge and the kids return from their latest adventure with a mysterious artifact (or even some sort of spirit or supernatural being) that harnesses power by feeding off of people's anger. It will obviously take advantage of Donald's many outbursts, perhaps even doing things that set him off. When it's all up to Donald to defeat the foe, he will have to control his temper in order to save the day.

• Confirmed as written, though not like this. "Whatever Happened to Donald Duck?!" is a Donald-focused episode with a subplot about why Donald is always so angry.

Della will be called out by everyone when she returns to Earth

Her absence has clearly left the family with wounds and though her inevitable return will lead to a happy reunion, it won't start that way. First she must seek forgiveness from her distraught family members. Scrooge will call her out for sneaking away with the Spear of Selene, which caused him to nearly empty his money bin and left him a decade's worth of traumatic guilt. Donald will call her out for disobeying him and leaving him to raise three kids on his own. And finally Huey, Dewey and Louie will call her out for choosing adventure over her own unhatched children.

• Jossed. Only Scrooge (indirectly) and Louie call her out.

Launchpad will somehow be instrumental in getting Della back.

Who better to find one crazy pilot than another crazy pilot?

• It could involve Launchpad trying to pilot a rocketship and crash-landing on the moon.
• Jossed. Della had help, but not from Launchpad.

Not only will Magica eventually be redeemed, but she and Della will fall in love with each other.

Gladstone and Fethry will bump into each other in the ocean.

Considering the scope of Gladstone's luck, he probably still has that golden yacht, and Fethry was last seen going to explore on Mitzi the giant krill's back.

• Confirmed, in 'Moonvasion' Fethry and Gladstone encounter one another in the middle of the sea, though Gladstone was in his blimp, rather than his yacht.

The gold money clip was a gift from one of Scrooge's sisters.

While it could easily be a matter of his precious ego being bruised from a bratty kid managing to pick his pocket, the clip prompting such extreme shock and anger from Scrooge may be because it has sentimental value. Donald and Della weren't born yet when Scrooge lost the clip, giving a personalized accessory isn't Goldie's style, and Fergus and Downy are too humble in finances and values. That leaves Hortense and Matilda, both of whom little to no information has been divulged yet.

There'll be an episode focused on Scrooge's relatives on his mother's side.

At some point after Downy's disappearance, the O'Drakes removed the "O'" from their family name to Americanize themselves and Doofus is Scrooge's relative. The O'Drakes already had money during Downy's time but she was disowned for marrying Fergus.

There is or will be a rivalry between Launchpad and Baloo.

Scrooge will try to spend an episode trying to take advantage of that.

• Or, if not Baloo, then the adult Kit Cloudkicker revealed in the SDCC 2019 promo.

The reason Mickey's off limits is cause Disney wants to save him for the Grand Finale.

Glomgold will screw himself over in the most humiliating way possible in his contest with Scrooge

Glomgold has frequently been known to be a dirty cheater, but he'll actually manage to gain the advantage in the contest near the end. However, he decides to further impede Scrooge's progress which ultimately results in him losing the contest. (and possibly sent to jail)

• 100% confirmed. Afraid he's going to lose, he decides to go for the throat and kill Scrooge in "Glomtales!" This leads to him winning the bet, then losing all of his money (and a lot of money that was NOT his) when he's outwitted by an eleven-year-old child.

Scrooge's beef with Santa will become Harsher in Hindsight.

It will be revealed Scrooge never forgave Santa for what was his saddest Christmas ever: When Donald and Della first came to live with him, they asked Santa Claus for their late parents, and he did not provide an explanation why this was impossible, much less deliver.

Glomgold is using his mother's maiden name.

His heritage is similar to the one mentioned in the comics except that his Scottish Grandfather Stoneheart Glomgold had a daughter instead of a son. Glomgold had to fake his accent because his mother had already lost hers by the time he learned how to speak.

If and when Della gets back to Earth, Gyro will be in for a world of hurt.

Between making the Oxy-Chew black licorice flavored, insulting her in the rocket's instructions, and making it so the rocket runs on gold, Gyro is probably going to be on the receiving end of a beatdown once she gets back. Bonus points if Lil' Bulb, Manny, or Fenton break out the popcorn in response.

Doofus Drake will be dragged off into a Heel–Face Turn by path of Break the Haughty.

He Used to Be a Sweet Kid before his inheritance turned him into a nightmare, but he may be placed in humiliating and traumatizing circumstances that force him to see how corrupt he'd become one way or another. Seeing him knocked down to his lowest and not knowing what to do with himself, the Duck brothers—even, or especially, Louie, out of sympathy for the rich kid he was previously terrified of—decide to take this opportunity to teach the broken haughty how to be a better person.

When the triplets' birthday is celebrated on-screen, the extended family will sing Happy Birthday to You! to them in a filmed party.

To which Della will express her surprise that Scrooge is actually willing to pay to royalties to do it until someone informs her about the lawsuit that happened while she was on the moon.

Darkwing Duck will deal with Acquired Situational Narcissism

Drake Mallard had already shown that despire being more humble and noble then Jim Starling, he still had a bit of an ego. Him doing the Darkwing Duck stuff for real and getting news media coverage will feed that ego and he would have to deal with controlling it or else he'd end up like Negaduck. Maybe Launchpad and a red headed orphan would help?

• Happens almost as soon as he appears in "Moonvasion!"

Alistair Boorswan will return and look for revenge.

He wanted to make Darkwing Duck into his "psychological masterpiece," and it got ruined thanks to Executive Meddling (Scrooge insisted on getting involved despite never seeing a movie in decades, then pulled the plug on production when he decided it wasn't worth it; Dewey hijacked the film's finale, making it this crazy mess with dancers and chainsaws, then filmed over whatever Boorswan originally filmed as well as the final fight). Since neither seemed to care about what Boorswan wanted to do or even apologize for messing up the film, he swears revenge and decides to find a way to make them pay for ruining his film. He'll team up with Jim Starling/Negaduck who he'll convince it was Scrooge who didn't want Starling for the reboot film's titular role and asks him to star in his new passion project "Revenge against McDuck Studios", as Negaduck is the "grim and gritty" he was going for in his film.

• Furthermore, he may become a supervillain with movie-related powers, similarly to Tuskernini from the original Darkwing Duck series.
• And while Boorswan saw it as the day his psychological masterpiece was cancelled and butchered by McDuck and his grandnephew, Scrooge will barely remember anything about the film, it's director or even owning the rights to the show in general.

J. Gander Hooter will be introduced as the present-day director of SHUSH.

Possibly bringing up previous director Ludwig Von Drake being an old mentor of his before passing the role onto him.

The black n' white version of Negaduck will appear.

Jim Starling as Negaduck will gain super powers from Magica. He will turn grey, and become all powerful.

Della

will get a Promotion to Opening Titles in Season 3.In Season 2, Gizmoduck and Magica got incorporated into the opening credits. Now that Della has returned to Earth and got reunited with her family, this would be the next logical step.

• The shot in the opening credits where Scrooge and Launchpad ride a boat through a storm will be replaced by Della riding a spaceship. Donald will still be there, this time being attacked by aliens rather than pirates.
  • Confirmed on Promotion to Opening Titles, jossed on the rest. She's in the airplane with Launchpad, and runs along with her family in other scenes.

In life, Duckworth was a Beagle Boy named Butler Beagle

He was the White Sheep in the family and left to work for Scrooge because he had shown more respect for him then any of his family ever did.

Magica/Lena's amulet will be revealed to have originally been Merlock's.

And should Gene show up in the reboot, he'll see it, have a small panic attack, and shakily demand to know where they got it.

This show's version of the Fearsome Five will consist of Negaduck (leader), Flintheart Glomgold, Magica De Spell, Mark Beaks and Ma Beagle.

All of them will be given some kind of superpower. Magica already has her magic and Mark Beaks will re-activate his nanites that turn him into Mega-Beaks, but Glomgold and Ma Beagle will also somehow gain superpowers.

• This teamup already occurred without Negaduck, and it was very clear that the villains would never work with Glomgold again afterwards.

In response to Negaduck's Fearsome Five, Darkwing Duck and Gizmoduck will create this show's version of the Justice Ducks.

The team, beside Gizmoduck and Darkwing Duck, will include Storkules, Gandra Dee, and perhaps Donald as the Duck Avenger.

• Other possible members: Lena could fill Morgana's role as team mage. Penumbra could fill the same role as Neptunia, both being warrior ladies from other worlds. Boyd could also be a part of the team as a The Smart Guy-Tagalong Kid combo.

Like his original character, Doofus will come to be a Hero-Worshipper for Launchpad

Except this time to the degree of a Loony Fan. If it connects to a potential redemption arc, Launchpad will become his first true friend.

An episode will have the characters visiting Cyberspace

As a modern take on "Scrooge's Last Adventure". In regards to its villain and a bonus Disney movie reference, it will be called Mark Beaks the Internet.

An episode will take place in Cape Suzette and its return to its former glory.

Given hints from the brochure, that it's no longer harbor town it used to be, focusing more on neat parks and saltine cracker factories and not on it being the resting place of adventure aviators of lore. This will eventually get fixed when an incident calls for seaplanes like the Sea Duck to fly once more.

Skittles the penguin will appear

While the DuckTales crew is utilizing new bird species, why not throw some penguins in there? Much like Webby, Skittles will also be significantly redesigned in both appearance and personality. She could even be the fourth member of Webby's clique (along with Lena and Violet).

The Grand Finale of this show will be a Distant Finale

And in it, we'll see whatever happened to the "family" the Ducks created at Scrooge McDuck's true funeral. Part of it would involve them all going on one last adventure as part of scrooge's last will and testament to determine how his inheritance would be dolled out.

• Huey's become a professor. With 5 Phd's and working hard to create a new "expanded" version of the JWG.
• Dewey's been spending some time with his mother, forever following any lead around the world to adventure and make things fun for himself. Oh, and he has a tv deal to record his adventures so his family knows what he's up to.
  • Scrooge left him McDuck Studios, which is where his TV show is being filmed.
• Louie Inc. finally took off. While not nearly as honest an endeavour compared with McDuck Enterprises, it did prove successful at last selling insurance as it "involves the least amount of effort".
• Donald is now a touring musician with the 3 Caballeros. Living out their dreams, Donald also has Daisy as their manager and costume designer. Oh, and they're married too.
• Webby serves as bodyguard for the two Duck boys still in Duckburg. She was also the last housekeeper of McDuck Manor after Beakley died.
• Lena has become a full-fledged sorceress (complete with a staff of her own), pledged to the Duck family against vengeance curses.
• Violet is now working as an apprentice to Gyro, researching ways to combine magic and science in new and fascinating ways.
• Fenton and Gyro eventually put their heads together to create an even better version of Gizmoduck, while also making it remote controllable so Fenton could also set up a private lab where he could spend more time with Gandra Dee.
• Officer Cabrera eventually retired, but refused to go down in life to inactivity in front of the TV. So, she became Gizmoduck's mission control and sidekick.
• Jim Starling and Drake Mallard continue to battle, their struggle never ending. Although Jim is finally beginning to slow down, indicating that Darkwing Duck's final victory over Negaduck is near.
• Gosalyn is doing her own crime-fighting as Quiverwing Quack, following her adoptive father's footsteps.
• Mrs. Quackfaster finally settled down in her retirement condo in Birbados, but her eccentric personality made it.....difficult to have good neighbors.
• Launchpad ended up being Scrooge's best friend in his last days, loyal with him to the very last, and inheriting all his vehicles on the condition he never handle landing duties, since "I won't be able to pay your crash bills if I'm dead!"
• Beakley's ghost visits Webby every Christmas along with her new husband, Ghost of Christmas Future.
• Zan Owlson is the current president of the United States and a Universally Beloved Leader.
• Glomgold wanted to gloat about outliving Scrooge, but then he tripped on some loose change and died an hour before Scrooge did, once again being one upped even in death.
• Duckworth still does his duty, although he's considering returning to the underworld to help Scrooge adjust to the afterlife.
• Fethry ended up getting a science degree after all. An honorary one, of course, but he's still proud of it. He even sometimes guest teaches for Huey to help make classes fun.
• Gladstone and Goldie help pay for the funeral expenses.
  • Gladstone for his part, never really changed. But he does occasionally make anonymous donations of 20 dollars to his family as a way to keep them in his heart. Also, he's forbidden to compete for Scrooge's fortune, since Scrooge actually wants a fair competition rather than have Gladstone luck out and win without trying.
  • Goldie is a fair bit older looking, worn down from a lifetime of scamming and keeping people at arm's length. Eventually, she threw up her hands, and asked for a commission job at Mcduck Enterprises in their exploration wing. That way she could work for herself, but still visit Scrooge whenever she wanted. She is allowed to participate, but in a rare moment of self-reflection, admits that she's too old to pull one over on the Duck clan again.
    • In addition, it'll be revealed she actually has her vast treasure horde willed out to Louie on her death. Because she lived for the thrill rather than the riches alone, she's got quite the bump to give.

Magica De Spell will be invited to join F.O.W.L

Magica (who now works at Funzo's due to losing her magic) is called into the day manager's office for once again declaring magical war on children. Magica will mention wanting revenge on Clan McDuck. Funzo will ask her if she really means that and Magica will proclaim that once she gets her powers back, Clan McDuck will be destroyed. Funzo will then press a button underneath his desk. The button brings both him and Magica to F.O.W.L. headquarters. Funzo, dropping his goofy happy voice, will offer Magica a promotion from birthday magican to sorceress supreme for F.O.W.L. He then takes off his head, revealing himself as The Phantom Blot, and welcomes her aboard.

• It would make sense since it was never explained where Magica got the invention she used to hijack Lena's dreams.
• Though to the contrary, none of the F.O.W.L. are childish, obsessive, petty, and constantly keep a cool head. Wild cards like Magica wouldn't qualify.
• It's worth noting that they had a golden opportunity when Magica was working at Funzo's, given that Funzo is the Phantom Blot, and didn't take it.
• As of "The Phantom and the Sorceress", pretty unlikely. The Phantom Blot, a member of F.O.W.L., has a personal vendetta against Magica, and won't be happy if his bosses recruit his mortal enemy.

There will be a running theme of F.O.W.L. agents recruiting villains at the end of episodes

This will give each of the agents, Gandra Dee, Rockerduck and Franken-Jeeves, Steelbeak, Phantom Blot, and Black Heron a chance to shine and provide hints to the Season Arc.

Season 4 will feature a new character hunting down the heroes

Each season has focused on a line from the theme song as its overarching idea.

• Season 1: Might Solve a Mystery - What happened to Della and Scrooge
• Season 2: Or Rewrite History - Della making up for lost time with the kids, frequent time travel plots, the changes to Negaduck and Glomgold's origins, and General Lunaris trying to "rewrite" the relationship between the moon and Earth.
• Season 3, mostly likely: D-d-danger Lurks Behind You - the arrival of FOWL behind Scrooge's back.

Season 4 would then follow that up with "There's a Stranger Out to Find You." Either a new villain or a villain not usually associated with Ducktales could come to take Scrooge and co. down themselves.

• A potential candidate for this role could be El Capitan.
• David Xanatos; what could be more stranger than a human character.
• The triplets' father, who is a total stranger to them and may not have even known Della was expecting.

• Jossed. Season 3 will be the last season of the show.

Gadget will eventually get cloned.

With the Rescue Rangers having proven themselves as worth while allies some villain; possibly F.O.W.L., will clone Gadget, this clone will be named Louwhiney.

If Norton Nimnul appears...

• He will be an anthropomorphic animal like the rest of the cast.
• Or he'll remain human; opening a portal from another dimension that the Rescue Rangers venture into, breaking new ground for the Disney Afternoon cinematic universe that appears to be unfolding.

Character Focus for Season 4

• Webby. She's essentially the fourth musketeer to the triplets and the Character Focus for each season has to gone to one of each of them so she makes sense. More will be revealed about her parents or Beakley's past as part of this.
• Donald. Just to trip things up one of the adults will get the focus and Donald would be a good choice. There's a lot that could be done such as bringing in Mickey, bringing in some of the Paperinik lore, showing more Duck family members like Granny Duck, etc. Season 3 has had Donald focusing more on his own ambitions because Della and Scrooge are looking after them more now so this could be continued and have the triplets having to learn to cope with Donald going his own way after looking after them for their entire lives.
• Both jossed—the show will end with its third season.

Season 4 episode plots

• Morgana's introduction — will play out similarly to her debut episode in the original Darkwing Duck, with Morgana opening her own pizza place in St. Canard. In a bit of Adaptational Heroism she's trying to run a legitimate business but the rest of her business associates are stealing the pizza toppings for her restaurant, which has the bonus of crippling their competition. Morgana will be mortified to discover this and help Darkwing put a stop to things. The beginnings of Darkwing and Morgana's romance will be here and at the end Morgana will show her magic powers by warping away, much to Darkwing's astonishment.
• An episode where Della and Daisy will come into conflict. Della, who wants to make up for lost time with her brother, will be put out by Donald spending more time with Daisy. This will boil over with Daisy joining the Duck family on a flight on the Sunchaser where the two spend their time fighting over Donald's attention. The theme of the episode will be about accepting changes in the lives of those we love and understanding that even if it feels like they're pulling away they still love us.
• A retread of "The Frequency Fiends" episode from Darkwing Duck. It will play out similarly but Gosalyn will start losing her life force from her energy copies being created, requiring the heroes to track them down and undo the process to save her. Gosalyn however will gain superpowers with her learning to control them being her personal character arc going forward. The theme of the episode will be about making peace with the parts of ourselves that we don't truly care for and try to hide.
• A Mickey Mouse episode featuring the Phantom Blot. Mickey will call Donald for help because of the Phantom Blot being after him. Mickey will be a detective who has been very successful in his life, which includes a prior acting career that made him a star. The Blot is pursuing Mickey because the mouse found something magical during one of his cases, which winds up being the Sorcerer's hat. Donald will be deeply jealous of Mickey for being rich, successful and famous with Mickey getting magical powers being just too much for Donald to handle. When this all boils over Mickey will reveal that he actually envies Donald a bit because the duck has a fulfilling family life and gets to on unbelievable adventures while Mickey because of being The Ace and his film fame can't make friends easily with only Pluto being in his life and he doesn't really have his family involved in his life. He'll also reveal that he wants to go on real adventures instead of his staged movie exploits and started his detective business just to get some actual excitement in his life. The theme of the episode will be about embracing our triumphs and treasures in our life and those of our friends rather than resenting others for having what you don't.
• A Goofy focused episode that will also feature Max. Either Donald and the kids will go to see Goofy in Spoonerville and meet Max while that happens or Goofy and his son come to visit. Either way we'll get to see the Duck family connection with the Goofs in full, especially Della who knew Max when he was a child and has trouble now that he's grown so much. The theme of the episode will be about accepting how the passage of time changes things between people for good and for ill.
  • A subplot could also feature Pete and PJ. It will be explained what happened to Peg and Pistol - if not a divorce then they most likely separated due to financial reasons - leaving Pete with constant debt troubles that he tries to pay off by swindling customers at his job, which of course Louie gets involved in by offering Pete some pointers. The two of them get along so well that PJ begins feeling left out, so Louie then helps him win back his father's approval, tying in to the story's message.
• A follow up to the Morgana introduction episode. In an effort to find Professor Waddlemeyer, Darkwing and Gosalyn turn to the Duck family for a mystical solution. Lena leads them to an old DeSpell family home that might hold answers, only to find that the Macawber family have taken it over. Morgana's father, Moloculo, will not be pleased about mortals intruding in his home, especially a famed monster hunter like Scrooge. He'll be even less pleased about his daughter taking an interest in the mortal Darkwing. When he sees that Morgana is truly taken with Darkwing instead of just being a passing fancy he'll give his blessing... and turn Darkwing into a werewolf so Morgana can have a "proper monster suitor". Darkwolf will be feral and savage at first, attacking everyone and hunting after them. Gosalyn is able to get through to him by calling herself his daughter for the first time. Once Darkwolf has some semblance of control the heroes return to force the Count to change him back. After everything is resolved Moloculo will declare that he's far from finished with the mortals of the world. The theme of the episode will be about accepting everything about the people we love, not just the parts that personally appeal to us.
• An hour long Darkwing episode featuring Negaduck. Negaduck makes his return causing chaos and destruction all over St. Canard. Darkwing does his best but can't stop Negaduck, having even more emotional turmoil because he's dealing with Jim Starling. Things get even more dangerous when Darkwarrior Duck arrives from the future and reveals just how dangerous Negaduck will truly become, noting that he came back in time to prevent all of the carnage Jim will cause in his madness. Darkwarrior's extremist methods will chafe against Darkwing who will be torn between maintaining his morals or embracing ideals that could really see results. The theme of the episode will be about how far can a hero go before the lose all heroic traits.
• An episode with a team up of Drake Mallard's Darkwing Duck and Jim Starling's Darkwing Duck. An attempt to rescue Dr. Waddlemeyer will backfire releasing The Fearsome Four and Darkwing Duck from the Darkwing Duck tv show.
• An episode with Greek themes (Zeus, Storkules, etc) featuring a character named Percy Quackson, a demigod that sets up a seasonal plot focused on a different aspect of families and to promote the Disney Plus show.
  • All jossed—the show won't go beyond three seasons.

The future Negaduck episode will involve the actors who played the Fearsome Four.

Jim Starling/Negaduck will decide he needs flunkies, er, a team to help him take down Drake, and will try to recruit the actors who played Quackerjack, Megavolt, Bushroot, and Liquidator, assuming that they've all been shafted like he has. Drake and Launchpad will discover his scheme and try to nip it in the bud by approaching the actors themselves. However, it'll be revealed they all have had pretty successful careers after Darkwing ended - maybe not acting, but they've all got stable jobs, families that care about them, a good relationship with each other, and fond, but healthy memories of working on the show. The one dark spot they'll mention? Working with Jim himself. They tried to be nice and supportive of him, and it'll be shown they all have tried to appear at fan events with him, but his showboating and general unpleasantness drove them away. In a jealous rage that they've managed to find fulfillment when he hasn't (and vehemently denying he has anything to do with that), Jim will resort to some sort of mind control to make the actors think they're actually the Fearsome Four.

One of these days, one of Glomgold's schemes will fall apart thanks to his kilt of all things.

And as he's disposed of, he'll yell out "CURSE ME KILT!!!"

The Ducks will face raptors and a Tyrannosaurus rex.

As Violet would say, statistically speaking, they're due. Raptors deserve mention, as they weren't featured in the original DuckTales due to Jurassic Park not existing yet. Not to mention T. rex will be a faster, bird-like biped instead of an upright, lumbering tail-dragger, for the same reason. For bonus points, they will have feathers, especially the raptors.

Bubba's second episode will be in flashback.

Like in Primal (2019), there will be no dialogue. Unlike in Primal, all the fauna will be Cenozoic (i.e. no non-avian dinosaurs and other Mesozoic reptiles).

Webby will be revealed to have a parent in FOWL. The feather FOWL grabbed is hers, and in a nod to theories about her, she will be cloned.

• Confirmed, as her feather was used to create May and June. Also, the parent in F.O.W.L. is partially true, as she was created by Black Heron, but she was actually cloned from Scrooge.

Webby is May and June's sister April, and this is the secret Mrs Beakley is keeping from her.

• Confirmed in a weird way, as May and June are actually Webby's clones, although her original name was April, as she is a clone of Scrooge.

Had the show continued, Della and Penumbra would have become an Official Couple.

Word of God is that Penumbra is a lesbian; based on that, her and Della's friendship would have eventually become more, with Della being demisexual (only forming an attraction based on an emotional bond instead of one based on looks or gender) rather than outright gay or bi. She also would have been nervous about revealing this to her family, but when it did come out, everyone would be accepting of her having a girlfriend, the triplets being thrilled that they were getting another mom, while Scrooge merely shrugged and said "Whatever makes you happy" and Donald likewise shrugged and said "Better her than your deadbeat ex-boyfriend" (revealing that the boys' father had ditched her as soon as he found out she was expecting, breaking her heart in the process, which is why Donald himself was their parental substitute instead of their bio-dad).
