It is revealed that Glomgold's former assistant Zan Owlson has become the mayor of St. Canard.
The reality that Scrooge and the boys are sent to spoofs a scene from Catch as Cash Can: Part 2 - A Whale of a Bad Time (1987) of the original series of Scrooge throwing a temper tantrum on a table about how a "sea monster" ate his "ice cream" (which was really part of his fortune being transported across the sea). Like that episode they are in their outfits from the original series (though the triplets did not wear their hats in the original scene), but the differences are the newer animation, the absence of Webby and Mrs. Beakley and a one-time character Mr. Wimpleman who were part of the scene in the original episode, Dewey who was sitting down at the table instead of standing up near the booth like in the original episode, Scrooge only doing the one pose, and the triplets' different hairstyles due to the changes made to them in the reboot.
Gosalyn uses a crossbow with trick arrows as her weapon. This can be seen as a reference to her superhero identity the Quiverwing Quack from the Darkwing Duck series, specifically the episodes, The Quiverwing Quack (1991) and Paint Misbehavin' (1992).
For Gosalyn's new character design, she is now wearing regular clothes instead of an oversized sports shirt like she did in Darkwing Duck (1991) though the sports shirt appears as a regular shirt, (and the number 1 also appears on the left-hand side of her jacket as an additional homage), and her hair is now seen in a regular ponytail instead of in pig-tails. Also much like with Fenton and his mother, her origins were also changed into a Latin background and her feathers are darker than in Darkwing Duck (1991).
Due to the popularity of this episode, it was fully released on Disney XD's official YouTube channel the day after its original airing for free.
