- Hilarious in Hindsight: Never let it be said that the reboot's finale's major twist came out of nowhere. The first part of this two-parter is a Whole-Plot Reference to the fable of King Midas, with Scrooge in the Midas role, turning everything he can reach in his house and yard to gold. Per the original story, Webby laments the solid gold flowers don't smell anymore. Which character in the original story said that line? Midas's daughter!
- Moral Event Horizon: The Beagle Boys mainly resort to burglary and thievery throughout the show and don't really harm anyonenote . However, they cross this line BIG time when they turn Huey, Dewey, and Louie into golden statues, essentially killing them...though the effect is reversed at the end of the episode. They get their comeuppance when they suffer the same fate, and it's their own fault it happens no less.
- Nightmare Fuel: It has a substantial section on the series page.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: In Part 2, Webby tells Scrooge she's going with him to get the goose, no matter what he says. He then convinces her to stay behind to watch over the nephews.
