Let's Get Dangerous!
Drake is wallowing when Launchpad points out someone breaking into McDuck Enterprises. He points it out to Darkwing, who is reignited with energy and proceeds to follow them. As the thief makes their way to the ramrod machine, Drake appears in smoke, only for them to start running away. They run into Launchpad and fall over, and Drake quickly grabs them. He realizes that it's just a little girl, who becomes angry and kick him in the face to drop her. She then quickly escapes as security enters the room.

As Drake does an interview with Dewey, with Launchpad as the audience, the girl appears in Darkwings hideout. She says that she was able to find them easily, and Drake tries to grab her, only for her to start running around the hideout. Launchpad tells Dewey to do something, when Drake finally gets the girl to talk. She explains that her name is Gosalyn, and that she was trying to expose Taurus Bulba as a villain who stole the RAMrod and did something to her grandfather.
