3	----
4	!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
5
6	* AnachronicOrder: This is Gizmoduck and Darkwing’s first meeting, but it takes place after their two [[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E19JustUsJusticeDucks other]] [[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E32UpUpAndAwry meetings]].
7	* BattleDiscretionShot: PlayedForLaughs. When Gizmoduck tackles Darkwing, we cut to Steelbeak's horrified expression as the battle rages offscreen. But then...
8	-->'''Steelbeak:''' [[BaitAndSwitch Pitiful!]] I mean, what is this, a patty-cake playoff?!
9	* BreakingTheFourthWall: After repeating that the E.G.R.E.T. can work on land, sea and air, Darking turns to the audience and affirms that they already knew this.
10	* ButHeSoundsHandsome: ''Both'' Drake and Fenton pull this when talking about their respective alter-egos.
11	* TheCameo: [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 Scrooge McDuck's face]] is prominently seen on the billboard Gizmoduck ducks behind to change back to Fenton.
12	* FunWithAcronyms: E.G.R.E.T., in this case stands for '''E'''xperiment '''G'''eneral '''Re'''taliatory '''T'''ransport.
13	* InsultBackfire: After learning that Steelbeak turned them against each other, Gizmoduck admits that he was wrong about Darkwing, but still thinks his [[TheCowl brand]] of crimefighting is "[[AddedAlliterativeAppeal disreputable, disturbed, and possibly devious]]".
14	-->'''Darkwing:''' Well, from you, that's a compliment.
15	* LamePunReaction: Fenton comes in after Drake has used his chair secret passage that connects his secret hideout to his house. Fenton asks where [[SecretIdentity Drake]] has gone.
16	-->'''Launchpad:''' Oh. Uh... He went out for a spin. [[note]]The passage spins the chairs around to transport the people sitting in them back and forth between the two locations.[[/note]]\
17	''[Gosalyn and Honker glare at him in disgust]''
18	* LandSeaSky: The E.G.R.E.T is able to work on land, water, and in the air.
19	* LateToTheRealization: Upon seeing Steelbeak, Gizmoduck cries out that he was stealing the E.G.R.E.T. Darkwing, who had been trying to tell him that the whole time, sarcastically says "Well, welcome to the program!".
20	* LetsYouAndHimFight: Steelbeak sets Darkwing and Gizmoduck against each other so he can continue his plans unhindered.
21	* LivingWithTheVillain: A variant. Fenton is staying at Drake's house and neither of them knowing each other's secret identity. Gizmoduck isn't really a villain and neither is Darkwing, but they spend most of the episode fighting because Steelbeak framed Darkwing.
22	* MythologyGag: When Fenton arrives to Darkwing's house, Launchpad makes this allusion to his past:
23	-->'''Launchpad:''' [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 Fenton and I used to work for the same guy]].\
24	'''Drake:''' [[SarcasmMode That must have been fun.]]
25	* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: The E.G.R.E.T. is apparently the only one of its kind, which is why the military is so keen to protect it from F.O.W.L.
26	* YouHaveFailedMe: After the Egg Men's first attempt to steal the E.G.R.E.T fails thanks to Gizmoduck, Steelbeak, who doesn't like excuses, has them stand at the end of a bowling lane and throws a ball at them, knocking out[[note]]or off[[/note]] three of them, leaving him with the remaining two for the rest of the episode.
27	-->'''Stealbeak:''' Make that ''two'' things I hate: excuses, and a seven-ten split!
