Launchpad is absent for the whole episode, which takes place at night. When his stated plans in the previous episode to spend his days in Duckburg and nights in St. Canard are taken into account, his absence makes sense. While Launchpad doesn't appear during Darkwing's brief cameo at the end, he is more than likely elsewhere in the tower with Gosalyn.
Bradford is Scrooge's most trusted business partner and personal accountant. So of course, he'd be able to guess Scrooge's passwords. He knows how the guy thinks and how much money he has.
Naturally Scrooge has a flip-phone given how averse he generally is to new technology, he wouldn't want some fancy thingamajig with a million flashing functions that he doesn't understand. It's likely that Beakley insisted he get a phone, but he would only agree to the simplest one on the market.
Alternatively, we all know that Scrooge is an Affluent Ascetic. He doesn't like spending money if he doesn't need to, so it's just as likely that he got the phone in the early 2000s and never got a newer model because if the flip phone still works, then why replace it?
The clamshell design and tough plastic exterior would also make it more rugged than a smart phone, with it's giant exposed pane of glass. The extra durability would be a good feature when he's on a globetrotting adventure.
Beakley basically has a calm freakout over Webby and the kids being in danger from potentially anyone at the revelation that Bradford was part of F.O.W.L. but Donald seemed almost apathetic. This makes sense because Donald likely experienced the same kind of crisis on a smaller scale when he was taking care of the triplets alone, and had to deal with them getting into trouble while he inevitably had to leave for work, and knows that as a parent he basically just has to trust his kids to take care of themselves at times.
How did Gandra Dee know Scrooge's security protocols to hack them? She stole that during her time spying on Mark Beaks. As we saw, Beaks did have the means to hack Gyro's lab.
The last time we saw the Phantom Blot use his magic-draining glove on a magical being, it was all but stated that said magical being would die once her magic was fully drained. So does that mean we got to watch Gene get killed on-screen?
The Phantom Blot wasn't draining Gene's magic so much as sucking it up. Most likely, he's storing Gene (and Gene's magic) in his glove so the genie can be brought to F.O.W.L.
Obviously, being outed as the head of F.O.W.L. costs Director Bradford control of the McDuck Enterprises, but who's to say he still can't indirectly control the company through other agents who work at the company and haven't been outed?
F.O.W.L. may have been exposed, but the bug that they planted on Donald at the start of the season is still not exposed. Even if the McDucks get the other treasures first, F.O.W.L. still knows every move they make. After all, that's how they managed to steal the ones discovered earlier in the season.
Webby's mastery of combat skills in this episode went from reasonable (lifting a sword her size) to downright insanity (complete impersonation). What kind of childhood did she have under Beakley? And why would the latter train her to such a ridiculous extent before the series began?
While Launchpad and Gosalyn didn't appear when Darkwing Duck appears as a cameo, there are some who believe that they're also injured from fighting Steelbeak given how Darkwing suffered a lot of injuries.
If Donald hadn't been climbing up the roof at that moment and caught the boys they could've been dead.
Given that Steelbeak isn't all that bright, it's likely he simply ambushed Darkwing and brutally beat him to a pulp. What the guy lacks in brains, finesse, and cunning he seems to make up with sheer muscle. If not for his vigorous training and high pain threshold, D.W. might have been outright killed by this (ostensibly) nameless "bruiser".
One of Beakley and Webby's suspects is Fenton. While he's definitely not the traitor, he is still a liability that could aid F.O.W.L. by being so close to Gandra Dee. What if he starts to unveil sensitive information to her?
