Early Life[]

Present Day[]

The Beagle Birthday Massacre![]

After being left behind on the beach, Webby finds a series of fake messages in bottles and follows them to their creator, Lena, at an abandoned amphitheater. Lena invites Webby to a party held in the Duckburg Junkyard, not mentioning the party was a birthday celebration for notorious crime lord and Beagle family matriarch, Ma Beagle. Leading the various branches of the Beagle family tree on a chase through the city, Lena and Webby develop a good friendship and jokingly reference the highlights of their adventure, much to the confusion of others.

However, at the end of the episode, Lena reveals her pendant and summons the shadowy spirit of her aunt Magica De Spell, informing her that her infiltration of Scrooge's inner circle was a success.

Terror of the Terra-firmians![]

While heading home from the movies with the boys and Webby, they decide to explore an abandoned tunnel looking for mysterious beings called Terrs-firmians.

Beakley finds them and scolds Lena for being a bad influence on her granddaughter. After the tunnel begins to collapse from the creatures, Beakley lays unconscious and Magica tries to persuade her to leave her as she is in the way of their plans. Lena, using the amulet around her neck, levitates the train car off of Beakley and the two escape.

As Magica questions why she did it, Beakley apologizes for misjudging her and is still welcome to spend time with Webby. After Beakley leaves, Lena explains that she has to "play the long game" to earn more trust.

Jaw$![]

At a sleepover with Webby, Magica tells Lena to drop a cursed jewel in Scrooge's money bin in order to search for Scrooge's dime. During this time, Webby makes her and Lena friendship bracelets, one of which Webby gives to her. Lena and Magica constantly fight over Lena's growing attachment to Webby which is put to the test when the jewel, manifested into a shark, beginning to eat people too, it even eats Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

Lena eventually uses magic in a positive way through her friendship with Webby and stops the shark. At her home, Magica reprimands her for ruining the plan and reminds her that she has to do what she says if she ever wants to be free from her. Lena sadly drops Webby's friendship bracelet in the water.

The Other Bin of Scrooge McDuck![]

After Scrooge locks his Number One Dime in his "other bin," Lena entices Webby to explore the other bin where they encounter a few rooms with deadly prisoners to deadly artifacts.

While searching, she encounters an object that shows her worst nightmare; betraying and hurting Webby after completing Magica's plan. She argues once more with Magica over her and decides she's had enough.

However, before she can tell Scrooge and Webby, Magica possesses her to keep her from revealing the truth. And Magica controls her body.

The Shadow War![]

At the beginning of the episode, Lena (Magica) hears Launchpad talk to Scrooge over his gate intercom saying that the triplets and Webby had moved out. Magica, mad that she is unable to use Webby to her advantage, insults Scrooge to get into the house. After getting in, looks at what Scrooge has become with the pizza and soda cans were strewn over

the floor. Magica states, "It's a trick!" before continuing to make Scrooge poisoned tea to take the dime. After Scrooge spills his poisoned tea twice given to him by possessed Lena, Lena/Magica convinces him to start his days over without anything, including Scrooge's #1 dime.

After clearly showing suspicion, possessed Lena proceeds to attack Scrooge and wrestle the dime from him, releasing Magica De Spell. Magica traps the 2 of them in a cage and then listens to Lena to say how she wants Scrooge's family. Magica, listening to the entire thing, proceeds to somehow destroy Lena into a shadow.

By reading Lena's journal, Webby and the triplets discover that Lena was created from the shadow by Magica following the sorceress' last battle with Scrooge atop Mount Vesuvius.

Later they continue by showing more about Lena. It is said fifteen years ago Magica and Scrooge McDuck fought which ended in Scrooge sealing Magica away in his Number-One Dime. However, before Magica was sealed she gave her shadow corporeal form and transformed her staff into a necklace that would give the shadow magic. The shadow took the form of a young girl "Lena" and Magica would manifest in its own shadow to communicate with her and give Lena orders to enact her revenge.

Although Lena referred to Magica as her aunt, the two held no love for each other with Magica seeing her as a tool for revenge and Lena desiring freedom from her, which Magica promised to give in exchange for helping her steal Scrooge's dime before the Lunar Eclipse that would grant her enough power to escape and have her revenge.

During the final battle with Magica, Webby and Dewey are about to be destroyed when Webby's friendship bracelet given to Lena in "Jaw$" glows with a blue light as a shield forms before Lena's spirit proceeds to attack Magica before appearing to be destroyed.

Despite her sacrifice to stop Magica, it is implied that Lena—or some part of her—survived and has merged with Webby's shadow.

Friendship Hates Magic![]

At the beginning of this episode, Webby goes to the library, together with Lena, who is an invisible shadow. At the library, Webby meets a new friend, Violet, and they decide to have a sleepover, due to their similar interests.

Violet assumes that the Phantom Blot is responsible who captures the magic. As Lena continues to struggle in controlling her magic powers, Webby suggests seeking help from Magica which Lena automatically refuses. Webby eventually persuades Lena to go and she reluctantly accepts.

Lena, Webby, Violet and Gladstone travel to seek Magica's help. When arriving, Magica tries to get her powers back from Lena through her amulet. Lena decides to leave at the first hurdle as she argues with Magica again but Webby tells her that Magica is the only one that is able to help her.

After Lena tells her that she can defeat the Phantom Blot by herself, Magica urges Lena to get inside the hideout where she explains how dangerous the Phantom Blot is from her past experiences.

To their surprise, they find that F.O.W.L. is already there, lying in wait. While Scrooge battles Black Heron, the kids pair off, with each pair setting out in search of a piece of the sword. Lena pairs up with Huey, and they quickly discover the blade. However, Steelbeak appears and assaults the duo. Lena uses her powers to transport herself and Huey into the latter's mindscape, so that they can have an infinite amount of time to plan for the immediate fight with Steelbeak. To her frustration, Huey asks her to run innumerable simulations, and each time, he tries to outwit the villain rather than fight him. Lena grows weary of this approach but Huey will not listen to her. Suddenly, Lena discovers a secret vault within Huey's mind -- a vault which houses his out-of-control alter-ego, The Duke of Making a Mess. Lena persuades Huey to embrace and control this dark side of himself, rather than lock it away. When Huey agrees to do so, Lena transports herself and the former back to reality, and Huey fights Steelbeak. Huey heeds Lena's advice and learns to use his more violent side to overwhelm Steelbeak, in what Lena describes as the best butt-kicking she has ever seen. They successfully retrieve the blade, and ultimately Scrooge's group is able to secure the Split Sword in its entirety.
