* At first Launchpad wants to stop Drake from filming the Darkwing movie because he believes only Jim can play the role. But when he discovers how big of a fan Drake is, the two end up bonding and playing with his toys in his dressing room.

* Donald & Scrooge's relationship in the episode. Sure, they may have been estranged for years but they still clearly love each other. Scrooge even calls them Team Uncle.

* A meta-example, the fact that they brought back Russi Taylor to the [=DuckTales=] family to voice young Donald essentially doing her Huey/Dewey/Louie/Webby voice.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF32DRg9opA beloved Moon theme]] from the old VideoGame/DuckTales game is worked into the episode at several points as an encouraging piece of music when Della finds her resolve at various points to make a bold attempt at returning home. The real clincher is that InUniverse, the very same arrangement is used as Della's lullaby for her sons.

** He also encourages him by saying "Do it for Jim". While in context this means Jim Starling, out of context it's clearly a reference to Creator/JimCummings, with the line holding significance for Chris Diamantopoulos who is taking over the role of Darkwing Duck.

** Despite being seen as the weakest member of the group Drake/Darkwing is front and center in the family shot at the end. The terror that flaps in the night is now part of the family.

* During the post-victory group shot Goldie can be seen pushing her way through the crowd giving a big smile towards the family.

** This gets even more poignant when Moonvasion shows that the Buzzards are actually the high command of F.O.W.L, meaning that they are either very good at pretending or this is a case of DueToTheDead and EvenEvilHasStandards.

* The reveal that Della, realizing that the boys are down on Earth, has put serious effort into getting back, wishing them a Merry Christmas and saying she will be back soon.

* Upon seeing pictures of Donald caring for her sons, Della says he deserves the vacation the family gave him.
--> '''Della''': *with heavy thankfulness in her voice* You did a great job, Donald..you earned that vacation.

** The Positive portrayal of Mental Health and going to therapy is heartwarming as well.

-->'''Scrooge:''' *while Donald and Della are squabbling* Aw, bless me bagpipes. Have I missed this.

* A small part where the group enter Louie's dream, Lena takes the form of a wolf. Violet first theorizes that the form could be because of outsider syndrome, or because of violent tendencies, only for Webby to angrily counter that it could be because of something [[NobleWolf more noble]], as in she is a pack animal, and considers her friends her pack.

** The two get confused during the climax when their teamwork doesn't go as smoothly before, since they were getting on each other's nerves so much. Scrooge clarifies that's because they're not really best friends, they're ''family'', and family drives each other nuts sometimes. Webby and Dewey get the message: they're not just best friends, they're like brother and sister now. Note that, at this point, Scrooge is swinging Donald around on his cane and using him to ''beat their enemies'' just to prove his point.

* A small one, but unlike Donald's BrutalHonesty in his low opinion of Fethry and his antics, Scrooge has the courtesy to try describing Fethry in a tactful manner to Huey and Dewey -- while he can be open to the kids about his dislike of smug, lazy, self-centered Gladstone it's really hard to justify his indifference of Fethry, who's actually a nice duck even if his eccentricities exasperate him.

** Earlier, Beakley attempts to stand up for Della in response to Louie coldly (and [[JerkassHasAPoint rightfully]]) retorting that his mother is just as irresponsible as him. She may not approve of Della being too easy on the kids, but she knows that Della doesn't deserve a hurtful comment and her kids must respect her as a parent.

** Seeing Louie and Della reconcile after Timephoon was sweet.
