History TearJerker / Ducktales2017Season2

* The ending. Goldie betrays Louie, leaving him not only upset that he lost all the money but also that he thought he found someone like him. Scrooge comforts him that Goldie spends so much time looking for ways to use people that she misses what is right in front of her. When it cuts to Goldie she looks at pictures of Scrooge and Louie before glancing back at the manor, her smiling falling before she lets out a sad sigh and heads off all alone, clearly realizing that much like Scrooge she lost any chance to have a meaningful relationship with Louie, leaving her once more all alone.

* Boyd’s existential breakdown upon realizing he doesn't remember anything the day prior to his "birth", causing him to trash Doofus' party, his eyeballs melt out of their sockets, and seemingly commit suicide by dropping into Doofus' pool. It's not helped by how Louie, remembering how much a NiceGuy Boyd was despite being created by Mark Beaks, looks [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horrified and remorseful]] by what his grifting has wrought.

** After his third failed attempt to escape, Louie laments his screw up and is again annoyed by Della's recorded lecture. However, she stops and begins to sadly explain that she ''too'' doesn't like what she's doing, but feels it's necessary for him to understand that his schemes only hurt his family and that they need to stop. Which is made worse when Louie sits down and lets out a small, somber "This is the one thing I'm good at. ''Why can't you see?''."

** But even after that hug, Louie is the most skeptical of the triplets in giving Della an opportunity despite her failed attempts, and even admitting that he's not sure how to ''have'' a mom, since up till now he'd just been used to not having one. It isn't until Della covers his body to protect him from the falling Golden Idol that he finally begins to open up to her.

* The look on Louie's face before they leave to search for help. It's very obvious that he's blaming himself for making the Moonlanders invasion easier than it already was by destroying the satellite defense network in the previous episode. One day as the richest duck in the world resulted in him helping enable the end the world and it is written on his face that he knows this.

* Della's reaction to seeing her kids for the first time in ten years: falling on her knees and tearing up at the site of her boys all grown up.

* Owlson's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Louie and millionaires from Duckburg in general can count. This is especially true considering that just when she thought she'd be working for Scrooge (Whom she described as competent among other things) she ends up working for Louie, who is less interested in running the company and more interested in spending money. Her speech is what ultimately gives Louie the answer to stopping the Bombie, but also makes clear that she has officially run out of patience and respect for the likes of Glomgold, Scrooge, and Louie for caring more about money and power than making a positive difference with their fortunes.

* We find out that Donald crash-landed on a deserted island following his escape from the moon. Though he survived, he was left without any means of contacting the outside world or traveling back to Duckburg to warn his family and friends of the impending invasion of their planet. And judging by his appearance, it's not too difficult to assume he was close to crossing the DespairEventHorizon for not being able to do anything to prevent the invasion with the knowledge he gained with Penumbra.

** Scrooge [[EtTuBrute feeling betrayed]] after Dewey (who nearly got killed because of Scrooge's insane escapades) and [[EvenTheDogIsAshamed Manny]] also decide to stop believing him and side with Huey, which briefly turns into anger.

* Meta Tearjerker: Creator/RussiTaylor passed away in July of 2019 at the age of 75, making her performance as Young!Donald the last time she'd appear in a ''Ducktales'' series. This really ''was'' the Last Christmas with her...

** What makes it even worse: He's ''absolutely right''. While he could have said it better, Della did the exact same thing as him, which is probably what added fuel to the fire.
** And to top it all off, just look at the Youtube comments for the last part of this episode, as well as the first part of the next. Fans are actually divided on whether Louie deserved his fate or not. Believe it or not, a lot of them make pretty good points, because Louie only messed up once by risking a lot and caused a temporary inconvenience at most. Della, on the other hand, risked a lot and split up most of her family, left her three boys without a mother, lost her leg and almost had Scrooge resort to begging for money on the streets looking for her.

'''Huey''': Hey! What is up with you?!\\

-->'''Louie:''' I have 13 different apologies depending on how mad you are.
-->'''Scrooge:''' Close the door.
-->'''Louie:''' Oh, you're ''that'' mad.

-->'''Palus''': He wouldn't blow US up, right?
'''Gibbous:''' Sorry, he is going to blow up ''where'' now?

* Della becomes crushed when she realizes that her transmissions never made it to the family and that Penumbra never liked her.

* The look on Louie's face before they leave to search for help. It's very obvious that he's blaming himself for making the Moonlanders invasion easier than it already was by destroying the satellite network. One day as the richest duck in the world and he helped doom the world and it is written on his face that he knows this.
* Selene and Storkules ''want'' to help, but Zeus is outright ''refusing'' to let them because he hates Scrooge ''that'' much. They have to tie him up in the end.
* Scrooge telling Darkwing that no one fears him because no one knows who he is. While true (as Drake is just starting off at this point) Drake still gets sad.
* TheReveal near the end of Part 1: Della wasn't trying to recruit anybody for their "mission". She was ''running away'', wanting to find anywhere to be safe. While being chased, the kids confront Della about this and she admits her reason why: ''[[AdultFear She doesn't want to lose them again]]''.

* We find out where Donald crash-landed--on a deserted island. Donald ended up there with no hope of rescue.

* FridgeHorror comes into play when we see at the F.O.W.L. meeting at the end of the episode that one of their agents is none of than [[EvilAllAlong GANDRA DEE]]! How's Fenton going to feel when he finds out that the love of his life is secretly part of an organization dedicated to taking over the world?!

** And then think about it from Donald's perspective. As this episode reveals, every time he looks at Dewey, he's reminded of the fact that he [[SadisticChoice could've prevented the loss of Della, at the expense of possible changing the future for the worse]].

* Selene and Storkules ''want'' to help, but Zeus is outright ''refusing'' to let them.
