* The Curse Dragon is shown to be unable to reconstruct lost parts, as shown when Corey slices its wings off and it stays wingless for the rest of the battle. So why didn't they try incapacitating it in some other way, like destroy its tail which it uses as a weapon, or its head? It can't be truly destroyed unless its "heart" is pierced but Corey could have bought them more time.
* So how aware is the dad's legs? Given that his last moments was him dying at a hospital, how was he suddenly awake, yet devoid of his ability to see, hear or speak? Is he at least aware of the brothers' quest to revive him? He does seem to recognize Barley once he sees him for the brief moment that his body is complete.
* So Corey ''burnt down her restaurant'' which was occupied by many people, ''including children''. And somehow...this has no repercussions? People still went to her "renovated" restaurant tavern, even though it now has a reputation of the manager nearly killing their patrons? This doesn't cause any legal issues that Corey herself mentioned earlier?

* We know Barley did most of the driving on the trip. If we saw that he was awake around 7 am on Ian’s birthday, then that means he kept going all day, all night, and at least until sunset the next day. Two days of no sleep and just cheese puffs for food, plus a hike of several miles through rough terrain. How are these kids still standing? Teenage stamina + adrenaline?
