The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!

"The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" is the twenty-second episode of the animated series DuckTales. It premiered on August 11, 2018.
==Synopsis==
Stuck on a precarious peak, the kids secretly search the plane for the final clue about Della's mysterious disappearance. After a struggle to get the final piece, Scrooge reveals horrible tragedy what happened to Della as his relationship with his family and friends put to an end.
==Plot==
The family heads to Monacrow for a vacation while Donald Duck stays home to continue fixing the houseboat. On their way, the kids recover shredded pieces of documents from the McDuck archives on Della Duck and the "Spear of Selene", and try putting the documents back together before Scrooge McDuck can find it. However, Scrooge, while flying the plane, crashes the Sun Chaser into a peak, and one of the pieces slips away during turbulence. Unable to lift without damaging the engines, the aeroplane can't fly them off it, leaving the group suspended on top. Bentina Beakley then chides Scrooge for putting the kids in danger.
Noticing the piece slipped into the jeep's window, the kids distract Scrooge and Beakley while Dewey reaches for the piece. Launchpad McQuack mishears them and drives the jeep towards the other side of the Sun Chaser, causing the aeroplane to tilt towards the side and the plane door to open with Launchpad at the edge of it. Beakley gets the kids to the other side while Scrooge rescues Launchpad, but Scrooge orders the kids to stay in their seats for balance. Launchpad entertains the kids with a tape of Darkwing Duck stuck on the theme until they can figure a solution. Scrooge confidently attempts to fix the plane against Beakley's concerns for the kids until Beakley pleads with Scrooge to admit he can't fix everything, and Scrooge to slip nothing bad will happen to "her" before correcting himself.
Meanwhile, Dewey tries to retrieve the piece from the cockpit. Huey moves to the other side to counterbalance the plane as Webby coordinates the two in the right direction. Right when Dewey retrieves the piece, however, he is spotted by Scrooge and Beakley. Scrooge then demands Dewey give him the paper but it is blown away so Dewey chases after it into the cargo, and followed by Scrooge, where the added weight tips the plane to their side. Dewey then rushes to the piece now caught inside the propeller, much to the others' horror.
Fearing that it will endanger him, frantic, Scrooge rushes up to save him. The others try to convince Dewey to come back, but he became even more stubbornly and desperately. As our old millionaire tries to save our young duckling, Dewey asks his great-uncle to give him the passage of the Spear of Selene.
Scrooge then reveals the whole story: ten years ago, he, Donald, and Della were seasoned adventurers who had visited just about every possible location on the globe. Before the triplets hatched, Della wanted to embark on a journey to the new frontier — outer space. Donald thought the trip would be too risky with Della's sons about to hatch, and while the two argued about it, Scrooge built the rocket dubbed the Spear of Selene so he could reveal it when the triplets were born. Della, however, took the rocket on a test run before Scrooge could surprise her, the photo of this event on the very piece Dewey was retrieving. Della then braved into a cosmic storm, but despite her confidence, she was struck by a lightning bolt and stranded in space. Heartbroken, the boys accuse Scrooge of leading Della into that storm, much to Scrooge's shock and annoyance. Suddenly the Sunchaser starts to lose the balance, nervous, Launchpad tries to have their attention, but ended up being ignored. Kids furiously scolding Scrooge for his irresponsibility, as all angry with him. Finally, losing his anger and temper, Scrooge, in rage and fury, yells at his family saying they are nothing but trouble, much to their dismay. However it was too late. Sunchaser falls, but thankfully the crash was little.
At the manor, Donald has rebuilt the houseboat and sees the bitter triplets who inform him they learned the truth, and solemnly prepare to leave the manor. Webby, Beakley, and Duckworth take a vacation away from Scrooge who is scolded by Beakley before leaving. Now alone again, Scrooge, reminiscing his countless efforts and failures in trying to find Della while the others' accusations echo in his mind, coldly states he is happy this way. Scrooge's anger causing his entire family to abandon him acts as the cliffhanger for the next episode.
