**On that note, if you look at the uppermost photograph in Goofy's photo wallet, you can see Goofy holding baby Max in his arms, but Goofy's wife, Max's mother, [[MissingMom is not present]], and Goofy appears to have a sad look in his eyes. This may suggest an [[DeathByChildbirth even more tragic fate for Goofy's wife]] than previously imagined.

* The fate of Poe De Spell: he was turned into a non-sapient raven by TakingTheBullet for a reflected spell from Magica, and Magica was unable to turn him back due to not knowing how to reverse magical transformations. Magica begged for Scrooge to help her, but he just let Poe fly out the window, leaving Magica to search for ''years'' for her twin brother, but she never found the right raven. Even ''Louie'' admits there's no way to turn this one around and seems shocked by Scrooge’s callousness, especially since he refused to save Poe and (as far as we know) made no effort to see if there was a way to turn the townspeople back and decided to ''profit off them'' (admittedly also paying for a farm for them to live on and be cared for).

** Louie's reaction to all of this. He's just as horrified as he was when he thought Scrooge had killed his mom, except this time Scrooge knows it's solely on him, and there's no getting around it. Louie is so shaken by it that for the first time, he actually doubts if he should even ''try'' to get out of trouble, much less if he could. [[spoiler: And in the end, he doesn't. He even acknowledges that no matter how justified he was in what he did to Doofus, it was still wrong and he apologizes to Doofus.]]

** Magica and Scrooge fought for years before she was sealed into that dime, which then lasted for decades. Since Poe was turned into a normal raven, he has almost certainly died of old age by now. Since Magica can't even undo her own transformation spell, it's doubtful she can turn the clock back on this. She really will never see her brother again.

* In addition to the horrible mayhem that was brought upon by Akita tampering with B.O.Y.D.'s programming, both B.O.Y.D. and Gyro effectively had their lives ruined by Akita's greed and desire to weaponize B.O.Y.D. to further his own selfish agenda. Gyro's credibility as a scientist and his idealism took a nosedive when his first major creation seemingly turned into an instrument of destruction for no reason, and while he was officially pardoned of his involvement in the travesty, he is still looked upon with distrust and not welcome in Tokyolk by Inspector Tekuza even twenty years after the disaster. B.O.Y.D. meanwhile was deemed a failure and shipped off to the junkyard after the fiasco, only to be found in a dump twenty years later by [[AttentionWhore Mark Beaks]] of all people, who reacted to the little lost robot with only excitement at the idea of building up his own fortune and reputation by exploiting the boy, then denying him a hug and tossing him in a shopping cart with other tech he was going to pass off as his own creations.

* Beakley is apparently showing signs of [[ShellShockedVeteran PTSD]] with her [[UpToEleven more-brutal-than-usual]] [[TrainingFromHell training regiment]] in regards to taking on F.O.W.L. She's so paranoid that ''anyone'' around her could in league with them, that she'd believe ''her own granddaughter'' would betray her if she lets her guard down. Makes you wonder what happened when she fought them last while with S.H.U.S.H.

** Scrooge's reaction to all of this is pretty saddening. It's pretty evident that he's not proud of what he did (or didn't) do back then. He even admits to Louie that he's part of the problem and may very well have created his own villains. Thankfully, this inspires Louie and then Scrooge himself to make amends with their enemies. Sadly, only Doofus accepts his apology. Glomgold, Ma, and Magica [[ReformedButRejected aren't nearly as willing to bury the hatchet.]]
* Ma Beagle wasn't nearly as distraught, but some of the other Beagle Boys seemed [[BrokenPedestal aghast]] to learn that Grandpa Beagle was a fraud who couldn't properly win an arm-wrestling fight.

** In the wake of Heron's death, seeing May and June be forced to come to terms with the fact that the ''only'' reason they even exist to ''begin with'' was to allow Bradford to obtain the Papyrus of Binding is pretty sad; especially since it's both stated that Bradford both considered them ''failed'' experiments and that, like the others, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he was just going to throw them into the Vortex after they obtained the Papyrus for him and his plan was completed]] ''anyways'', even if they ''had'' succeeded like Webby did.

* Gosalyn ends up destroying the machine to save reality from being destroyed. Despite it being the right choice, it clearly isn't easy for her as it means giving up on trying to bring her grandfather back. Once the machine is in shamble, she breaks down in tears as Darkwing wraps her in a hug.

* When Webby is about to launch her real attack on Huey, it turns out Huey has actually injured his leg. Webby immediately stops and wants to look at it, but Huey refuses to let her because he's so paranoid after all the sneak attacks she pulled earlier. Webby is ''genuinely horrified'' at the fact that he pulls away from her - this is basically her brother being ''frightened'' of her... and she doesn't want that; she's spent so long getting a family yhat, despite everything, she's ''not'' going to endanger it any longer.
