Hammerhead Hannigan is sent to the St. Canard Orphanage to collect Gosalyn Waddlemeyer for Taurus Bulba because he suspects she knows the code to the Waddlemeyer Ramrod. Hannigan presents himself as an old friend of Professor Waddlemeyer and convinces Mrs. Cavanaugh of his good intentions. She calls in Gosalyn, who's in the middle of a game of hockey and first thinks she's in trouble for the "pig and the boys' bathroom" incident, but Cavanaugh hadn't even heard of that. She introduces Gosalyn to Hannigan and the girl is elated to meet someone who knew her grandfather. On Hannigan's suggestion, they go for a talk on orphanage grounds while Cavanaugh asks Eugene about the "pig and the boys' bathroom" incident. Gosalyn has a decent time talking to Hannigan until a van stops near them and he urges her to get in. Realizing she's being abducted, Gosalyn fights back and looks for an escape, which comes in the form of Darkwing Duck. "Darkly Dawns the Duck, Part 1"/"Darkly Dawns the Duck" A day later, Gosalyn is back at the orphanage. Bulba is defeated, but Darkwing has seemingly perished too. Gosalyn is too upset to meet a prospective parent waiting for her in Cavanaugh's office. What she doesn't know is that Darkwing miraculously survived and has decided to change much in his life to make room for a daughter. It is he coming to adopt her and as he talks with Cavanaugh about the reason he's in bandages, Gosalyn recognizes his voice. When he moves his head bandages and they fall over his eyes so that they form a mask, she runs to him and hugs him tightly. He offers to take her to go house hunting. Mrs. Cavanaugh enquires how he means to drive in this condition and upon his answer that he has help, Launchpad comes crashing into the office in the new family car due to trouble with the reverse.
