"Cloud Fathers" is the fifty-fourth televised episode of the series Gargoyles, and the forty-first episode of Season 2. It originally aired on February 21, 1996.

Summary

Continuity

The Coyote appears again, reconstructed as Coyote 4.0 after Coyote 3.0's destruction in "Grief". The Cauldron of Life, introduced in "The Price" is mentioned as having been used in Coyote 4.0's construction. Coyote 4.0 is destroyed at the end of the episode, but Coyote 5.0 appears in "The Rock".

Even though the Coyote robots share half of David Xanatos' face, this is the first episode in which Xanatos and Coyote have interacted.

Peter and Beth Maza appear for the first time since "The Cage".

Xanatos' mention of the Cauldron of Life's being made out of iron, and connecting it to Coyote 4.0's ability to imprison Coyote the Trickster, is a foreshadowing of the revelation in "Ill Met By Moonlight" concerning the Third Race's vulnerability to iron, and also indicates (even before it is confirmed in "The Gathering Part One") that Coyote is one of Oberon's Children.
