| The episode begins with an zoomed out shot with an empty road and ominous fog | |
|---|---|
| Webby | Deep in the heart of Scotland lies the ancestral home of clan McDuck, a family whose name is synonymous with greatness magic mists keep the castle hidden out of time except for once every 5 years. |
| Scrooge | So where are the mists? Did you break it? |
| Fergus | No, this magic castle is on the fritz. You gave us a lemon. |
| Webby | It's a typical homecoming as Scrooge and his father perform a traditional Scottish greeting ritual. |
| Downy | Oh let's be thankful for this unexpected visit family hug! |
| Webby | Downy McDuck. The matriarch of the family and keeper of it's stories. What secrets does she hold? |
| Downy | Well.. uh... |
| Huey | This is perfect! With the castle back early, we can finally find this legendary artifact: The Blessed Bagpipes of Clan McDuck! |
| Dewey | *Gasp* Bless me bagpi-oohhh that's why he says it |
| Louie | Why was Isabella Finch looking for some old McDuck junk? |
| Huey | According to Finch, The bagpipe can bring to that which has not |
| Louie | A rare and probably expensive thingy? |
| Huey | Umm I guess... |
| Louie | I'm gonna be rich! And the best part is, we've already tripped all the traps and done the whole spooky, mystical castle McDuck thing so this should be a breeze |
| Huey | Ah, but this whole castle is full of secrets and dark mysteries a whole new adventure maybe- |
| Louie | NO! Bad nerd! Stop trying to complicate this. This is just a snatching something from our ancestor's home... For safe keeping. Because we care so deeply about our family history. |
| Webby | Treasure of the past, tales of the future, and a mystery for now... What could've made castle McDuck re-appear from the mists 4 years early? |
| Phantom Blot appears to absorb all the mists | |
| Theme song plays |
|That's strange. Seems like the magic has been drained somehow. |- |Scrooge mcduck inspects the castle's mystical foundations. |- |Got to be delicate when dealing with unpredictable druid stones. |- |I've got it. Oh! Now, you broke my castle and my foot! |- |I broke...? If you don't like how I do things, you can call one of your other kids instead. |- |Who do you think I called first? |- |Hello, brother! |- Oh, matilda! I thought you were off selling goat yogurt? |- |It was goat-gurt and, unfortunately, that business went sour. |- - What?! - What is happening?!
Scrooge's youngest sister, matilda!
A mcduck I've never met?!
This is the coolest!
Stay professional, webby.
This is the coolest.
Hey, did you ever try to slap your sibling so hard that your other sibling felt it and then they did? |- Dewey, please. They're better than that.
- They're mcducks! - Yes. |- Your sister is back at home. Just until I get my next big idea on its feet. |- - Oh - and you are?
Hi, I'm webby, I-just-met-you but-I-idolize-you! |- Got good taste, this one.
Well, you may be interested to learn about my egg-citing new business! |- A businesswoman, just like her brother! |- It's an emu farm! |- Well, not just like her brother. |- Animals live outside! |- Why have a bunch of noisy chickens cluckin' about, laying lots of puny eggs when you could have one bird that lays a giant egg? I'll be rollin' in emu-lah!
Eh? Ehh?
Ah! well, let me be the first to invest. |- Ach, I don't need to start my business with family money like some billionaire I know. |- I got my start with hard work. |- |And that dime daddy gave you. |- |Did everyone know about that, but me?! |- Yes. Well. I'm gonna go ice my foot.
- You two got a handle on this. - We'll get on it, da.
As soon as scroogie gets out of this headlock. |- The love between them is palpable. |- Uh, sure.
I've divided the castle into a grid.
- We sweep counterclockwise... - Ah!
Oh, sorry, I was taking a "huooze."
that's a snooze I take while huey
explains boring nerd stuff.
Trademark louie duck.
My nerd stuff
is going to find us the missing mystery.
Yeah, sure. Or...
Hey, great-great-grandma downy!
Where do you keep your magic pagpipes?!
Check the junk room, next to the christmas lights, dears.
- Come on, I'll show you. - Hmm. Much easier.
Yep, good. Who wants to solve
an elaborate ancient puzzle anyway?
I'm not disappointed.
Ssh! Would you please be quiet?!
Oh, so sorry, mr. Blot.
This is my first mission, if you can believe it!
So honored to be your partner, by the way.
I've already learned so much... How to suck up magic mists,
how to become one with the shadows...
Am I talking too much? 'cause I talk too much.
Ugh. I told fowl I work alone.
Well now, this lone wolf is in a wolf pack, pal!
Director buzzard's orders...
Everyone gets a partner for missing mystery missions.
Ooh, that's a tongue twister!
The bagpipe is a dangerous magical artifact.
The mcducks cannot find it first!
Stick to the shadows. Quiet as the grave.
Shadow. Grave. Got it. Sneaky. Silent. Spooky.
- Ooh! - Stop it!
I don't know why the mists would have parted early.
The castle's still lousy with magic.
Each room more magical than the next!
What is this trove of historical wonderment?!
Ooh!
This is the statuary hall.
Where the most legendary members of clan mcduck
are memorialized in stone for all eternity.
Each mcduck here, is a... Where'd you go?
Perfect!
Those are the twins, murdoch and danny.
Cool bow and arro... oh, no...
and here's agnes, countess mcduck.
She singlehandedly stopped the whiskerville rebellion.
One of our ancestors was invisible?!
That empty pedestal is waiting for
the next worthy family member.
Only the greatest mcducks get a statue.
You mean, like uncle scrooge?
You know, for when he dies
many, many hundreds of years from now.
Oh, well, webby, pfft.
It would be a nice token but statues aren't...
you?! Ha! Riches are all well and good, brother,
but we aren't making a statue of the money, are we?
I'm the one taking care of the castle and ma and da.
I'm sure I'd help around the house more
if I lived at home half the time.
A magical home that I built
which has granted you immortality, by the way.
What's happening?
Why are they saying mean things in a nice way?
Oh, it's just a little sibling rivalry.
My brothers and I get into it all the time,
but it's no big deal because, deep down,
they all know I'm the best one.
Trust me, it'll all blow over if you just leave it alone.
Right. Okay. Leave it alone.
Oh, I gotta fix this!
Help yourselves, boys!
See, huey? Easy as... why?!
How will we know which one is the right bagpipe?!
So many variables!
And what if one of them is cursed or deadly?!
Looks like this is gonna be harder than we thought!
If one of these bagpipes kills me,
I'm gonna be so mad at you!
"taking care of ma and da."
hey, uncle scrooge!
Oh, what's this?
An old family photo album?!
Let's look at it for no suspicious reasons!
Look how close you and matilda were! Aww!
Our first business... Mcduck's famous mudslide pie.
Made with genuine mud!
Only made a penny but we had a lot of fun.
See? Why don't you forget about the statue
and love your sister again?
Ah, dinnae fash yerself, lass. Of course, I love my sister!
No silly family squabble could change...
That!
Matilda!
Yes?
You said whiskers ran away.
What?! That could be any old clump of hair.
Where is he, eh? Oh, I bet you've got him
stashed away somewhere... ah ha!
Oh, that whiskers.
Were you dying his fur?!
It was for matil-dos! My very popular salon!
That clump of hair was my pet!
This was supposed to fix things,
but instead it's broken into a fight!
This is not a fight, this is a squabble.
No punches, no tears, and no parents stepping in.
It's fine.
Uh-oh!
Ma!
If you get me in trouble, I swear to grammy's ghost
I will take you, and all you hold dear, down with me!
Okay, now it's a fight.
I broke clan mcduck!
Scrooge! Your blasted clump of hair
is choking my beloved pet slash business venture!
- That's because your... - What's the matter? Who's hurt?
Ach! What is that filthy creature doing in my house?!
Attacking my prize emu, that's what!
Whiskers! What has scrooge done to you?!
Me?! It was matilda!
You probably weren't watching him well enough!
What did I tell you? Animals live outside!
It's not an animal, it's an investment!
Whiskers is family!
That could have gone worse?
In order to bring life
to that which has not, the blessed bagpipe
has its own metaphysical resonance.
Testing for a metaharmonic frequ...
Watch it! There's a system here!
Ugh, let's just play them all and get this over with already.
Hup!
We're free!
The bagpipe!
To find where I hide,
follow these steps and look inside.
Man, it's none of these. How're we gonna find it now?
Careful deductive reasoning!
Gesundheit.
If I could just decipher the runes in the journal...
Too complicated.
Metaphysically speaking, if I could just...
you nearly gave us away!
Sorry, mr. Blot. I got a bad case of the sneezies.
Funny story, my name's pepper, but I'm allergic to pep...
Look at these unnatural atrocities!
Aw, a rainbow.
It makes me sick!
Nothing will stop me from destroying this family
and their wretched castle of wizardry!
Whoa, there, just hold your horses.
I know you hate magic and all,
but if we hold off on destroying everything,
I can triangulate the path to these runes
and then they'll lead us to the bagpipe!
I suppose you have a point.
And maybe the thing you thought was annoying
turned out to be pretty helpful, huh?
Ouch!
Da, pass the neeps and tatties.
Tatties are for children who follow the rules.
Um, at least they're not yelling anymore.
This is way worse.
We've gone past fight into a full family feud.
Mama, ask papa to stop hogging the black pudding.
This is for whiskers. He's had a hard day.
No animals at my table!
Scroogie, flip over this table you bought me for emphasis.
What?!
You don't get to flip the table! I flip the table!
Matilda!
We have got to fix them! This can't be the end
of the most perfect, wonderful family of all time!
If we get involved, we'll just make it worse.
- Hmph! - Hmph!
You're right. Although, the person who helps end this feud
would be the savior of clan mcduck.
Might even get their own statch-dew... sorry, statue.
Everyone! Come quick! Dewey's hurt!
Oh, dear!
Oh! My blood! Put it back in, put it back in!! Ugh!
Oh, the pain! It hurts... so bad!
Oh, no!
Boy! Lad, what happened?
He was worried about you fighting.
He tried to make you both a statue. But he fell off and-
here, under the eyes of the greatest members
of clan mcduck, your bickering has lead to disaster!
Why did dewey have to suffer for your petty squabbles?
Why?!
Oh, dear!
Dewey! Oh, lad! I'm so sorry!
Look what your pettiness has done
to my favorite great-nephew!
- What?! - I'm your favorite?
Of course. Nothing is ever precious scroogie's fault!
Maybe your nephew was hurt by your own negligence!
Aye, just like his negligence hurt poor whiskers!
No, it's getting worse!
Hey! That rune matches one from the book!
Forget that. What's happening here?
Uncle scrooge says I'm his favorite!
What?!
Oh! it's a miracle.
This was some sort of trick so we'd forget
- what you did to whiskers! - That blasted emu!
Whoa-whoa-whoa, so, your favorite, dewey here,
is gonna get all the inheritance
after I waste my time on huey's dumb quest?
Dumb quest? Dumb quest?!
Don't worry, I just said that to make matilda feel bad.
- What?! I'm the best one! - Dewey, what are you doing?!
Does anyone else care about the missing mystery? Huh?
Because it's somewhere in here!
That's it!
All righty! Now to find the last rune.
There it is! The blessed bagpipe.
Completed in record time!
We make a pretty good team, huh?
Mm.
That wasn't a no.
You don't deserve a statue, ya bullion-baggin' birkie!
Oh, but you do?!
No, stop! You're a family!
You love each other.
That's it!
None of you deserve a statue right now
because none of you are living up to the name clan mcduck!
Webbigail is right.
Matilda, you can have the pedestal.
Phew!
Because I...
Am no longer a mcduck!
- What?! - I don't need this hassle!
I am now scrooge of clan mcscrooge!
Right! Come on, kids!
Hey, hey, watch it! Hey! Ow!
Got it! Whoa!
Ouch!
Phantom blot?!
Whoopsie doodles.
Scroogie, what did you do?
We were all standing right here.
The blessed bagpipe brings life to that which has not.
And now fowl's got it!
Not for long!
For now, this fine family's greatest members have awakened!
And we will all come together to defend their home
as a unified clan mcduck!
Oy, who took my bagpipe?!
Murdoch, ya shameless sharpsh**ter, was it you?
No, but I'm glad it's gone! Your bloviating blowing
was always making a racket and made me miss my sh*ts!
Ever think it was maybe your aim and not my bagpipe?
Oh, come on!
Hey! Get back here with that bagpipe!
Is this what clan mcduck has fallen to?
A bunch of mannerless marauders? So undignified.
- Oh! - Ooh!
- Ooh! - Ah!
How dare you!
- No-no-no-no! - Stop it!
- Ahh! - Ooph!
That's my castle you're destroying!
Oh! So, you wasted my hard-won earnings on a palace
but you couldn't build a full statue for your own father?!
Daddy? For your information, my son gave me this castle!
You're mooching off your own kin?!
Ugh!
Mind the heirlooms!
I can't believe you lost the bagpipe!
Me?! Where were you looking!
You nearly ruined the whole mission!
This is why I never have a partner!
Oh, no, mr. Blot, sir. It's because I'm the only egghead
fowl could ever get to volunteer.
What?
All the other eggheads
think you're like a creepy freak
or too intense or entirely unlikeable.
Really?
I'm the best one! Nobody likes you!
- Okay, okay, but... - The bagpipe!
- ...Huey's the worst one. - Grab it!
Ah!
You saved me!
Yes, well, you're my partner and...
Uh, protocol and what not.
Yeah! Nerp.
I've been...
I'll be taking this.
Nice one, partner!
- Not listening to you! - You're responsible...
oh, come on!
Every story has its end,
and this is the end of clan mcduck.
Ah!
I set out to preserve their history,
but I ended up destroying it all...
The past, the present and the future.
Ah!
Oh, great, now the castle's coming down!
Let's go! Boys! Webbigail!
The mcducks meant everything to me.
Not just because of their great name,
but because they were a great family.
One I thought I could be a part of.
But now, it's gone.
Guess the name mcduck didn't mean much after all.
Webby! Look out!
Ah!
Really?
Let's send this ignominious ink-stain packing.
For clan mcduck!
But I thought you were clan mcscrooge now.
It's not the mcduck name that makes our family great.
It's the people in it.
Come, emutilda!
We ride!
All right mcducks! Let's wipe 'em out!
Ooh! Ugh!
Oy, clan mcduck!
We got outsiders muscling in on our turf
and fightin' our family!
Nobody fights our family but us!
Oh! Daddy!
Well done!
Ow! Hi, I'm pepper!
Hi, pepper, I'm webby! Hiyah!
Gotcha!
Huh!
Get out of my house!
Come pepper, we must retreat
into the embrace of the shadows!
Aw, but we were having so much fun!
Don't worry, soon the magical world will live in fear
of phantom blot and pepper!
Ha-ha!
Man, the last time we were here was hard,
but at least we weren't almost crushed
by our giant stone ancestors!
Which is why I wanted to do this the hard way.
Sometimes doing things the easy way
gets you in hard trouble down the line.
That some sort of junior woodchuck rule?
Nope. Just something I learned by being your brother.
Aww.
- Hey! - Blessed bagpipe
of clan mcduck! Check!
It's all destroyed.
It's not your fault, lass. Sometimes families fight.
But the mark of a great family is one who can work through
their petty differences to be closer than ever.
But next time, we won't try to put ourselves on a pedestal.
You all realize that that's literally what we're doing,
right now, right?
Ooh! Ooh! I've got an edge piece!
I think this is a part of a kilt.
They all have kilts.
