History Heartwarming / Ducktales2017Season3

* Instead of Scrooge, its Huey who is the MrExposition for this adventure. When Dewey interrupts to point this out, his uncle states that its Huey's quest and they should support them. While he does butt in, him and Huey start finishing each other's sentences before ending it in speaking at the same time. They then give each other a hug in excitement!

* It’s ''Louie'' of all people who reminds Webby, Vero, and Aletheia to look for the good in others. This persuades all of them to fight back against Honestus.

** While he does give the Three Caballeros a hilariously skewed deal in his favor, Louie's scheme this time is basically a standard promotional gig. This is a far cry from his previous ventures, which were barely legal and often required him to screw or exploit someone's naivete or trust. He also seemed to have genuinely believed that the Three Caballeros was a good band (up until he heard Donald sing anyways).

** Turns out all the treasure hunts and artifact seeking up to that point had been "business trips" to better finance his company and expand his fortune. While we know they were important to him as family, here Donald and Della are revealed to be the ones who turned TheWorkaholic business man Scrooge [=McDuck=] into thrill-seeking, adventure loving CoolOldGuy Uncle Scrooge.

* {{Meta}} but seeing Launchpad, Donald, Scrooge, and Beakley in their classic, yet updated, versions of their outfits from [[WesternAnimation/Ducktales1987 the original series.]]

** It's meta heartwarming too, but Della only touched Honestus with her prosthetic leg. It still counts in her eyes, because her leg is a true part of her.

** Meta: The flashback will bring warm feelings out in fans, seeing Gyro act as he did in the original series.

** It should be noted why he's so accepting of this concept. When presented with the contract with the Papyrus of Binding attached to it, he's probably thinking ''how'' it's possible, since the triplets, the most likely candidates, are still disqualified as they are not his direct heir. Once Webby dropped the dad line while defending Scrooge, it probably clicked for him. Once the fight was over, he just wanted confirmation from her.
*** Scrooge also looks to the triplets with a look that says "Really?" in a hopeful sense. A silent nod back from Huey, Dewey and Louie, and that's all Scrooge needs to believe it.
** The discovery is especially heartwarming on a meta level when viewed with ''Life and Times'': There's a brief moment at the end of "The Richest Duck in the World" where Scrooge regrets never starting a family of his own ("It's too late! That's the ONE experience I've never had! Yet... there was a time when I... almost..."). It ''was'' too late for that Scrooge, but this Scrooge gets his wish granted by being given a daughter of his own.

** It's a little heartwarming to see that Gladstone, of all people, has the decency to know an awkward moment when he sees one and promptly leaves with Fethry (who instigated said drama with his big mouth.)

* Meeting Violet's dads. Yes [[HasTwoMommies dads]], ''[[HasTwoMommies plural]]''; and like an ever increasing number of examples, the heartwarming part comes from how casually it's revealed. Lena even says "That's my sister from a couple misters!" while sitting right next to them.

** WordOfGod reveals that Lena moved in with Violet and her family after she returned, meaning that she wasn't being merely cute with the cheer... Violet ''is'' her little sister, in all meaning of the word.

-->'''Gyro:''' At [=2BO]'s core, it's a weapon!
-->'''Gyro:''' That WAS his core! Until- Akita overwrote my work. [=2BO=] never had a choice! YOU FORCED HIM TO BE A WEAPON!

* While it may just be a product of the sitcom reality, it's still nice to see that [[CharacterDevelopment after all their conflicts and struggles the previous season, Della and Louie are now being very...comfortable with each other]]. They banter easily, their personalities and priorities working together instead of clashing. Then there's little things, like the identical doe-eyes they give Scrooge at one point, or Louie holding Della's hand as Scrooge drags them off-screen. It's just really sweet.

* When you think about it, the fact that Donald's wish does not alter any of his loved ones' personalities. Huey is still a neurotic control freak, Dewey is still a showboater, Louie is still a troublemaker after that quick buck, Webby is still violently paranoid, Della is still an adrenaline junkie, and Scrooge is still the cheapest of the cheapskates. Donald loves his family for all that they are, he only wanted them to lead safer lives.

* Scrooge explains that the children are his Inner-Strength.

* When Scrooge learns about Matilda's Emu Business plans, he actually offers to invest in said business.

* A surprising example of one from an antagonist; the usually stoically serious Phantom Blot and the Perky F.O.W.L. henchperson Pepper form a genuine bond across the course of the episode, to the point where the Blot shows genuine warmth towards his partner. Best exemplified when he chooses saving her life over completing their mission.

** B.O.Y.D saving Huey from falling to his death.

** Which leads to B.O.Y.D and Gyro hugging which almost looks like a father and son hugging, followed by B.O.Y.D opening his eyes to reveal that they are now InnocentBlueEyes.

* While F.O.W.L did get away with stealing everything that the [=McDuck=] family has achieved, Scrooge remains positive that they'll retrieve all the last remaining treasures of Isabella Finch from them as a family.
