Continuity
Both Raven and Grandmother are seen returning to Avalon in "The Gathering" Part One.
Goliath recognizing Raven as a gargoyle confirms prior to "M.I.A." and "The Green" that the race can vary in different appearances.
Tidbits
Elisa quotes the famous line from Hamlet, "There are more things in heaven and Earth..." – bringing yet another piece of Shakespeare into Gargoyles.
Raven's lies would later on be converted into truth, according to Greg Weisman; at the beginning of his projected sequel series, Gargoyles 2198, a new clan would be founded at Queen Florence Island. That same series would also include among its major characters a descendant of Natsilane (who would also be related to the Mazas, though just when the two families intermarried has not yet been revealed).
Raven refers to Grandmother as his cousin; this is a (much-neglected, alas) sign that the title "Oberon's Children" for the Third Race should not be interpreted literally.
Although Natsilane is a member of the Haida nation, during the battle against Raven he is dressed like a stereotypical "Plains Indian" chief, very different from traditional Haida garb. This is most likely an error due to oversight.
