Summary
Continuity
Jackal and Hyena appear for the first time since "Grief", acting separately from the rest of the Pack for the first time since "Her Brother's Keeper".
Preston Vogel appears for the first time since "Golem". He next appears in "The Gathering Part One". This episode is the only one in which Vogel appears without Halcyon Renard.
Lexington and Broadway appear for the first time since "Pendragon". They next appear when the Avalon Travellers reach home in "The Gathering" Part One.
The Manhattan Clan takes possession of the Mayan Sun Amulet. This is the third time that the clan has taken a magical item in order to keep it out of the wrong hands (after the Grimorum Arcanorum in "Enter Macbeth" and the Eye of Odin in "Eye of the Beholder"). Goliath also made a similar vow to protect the Eye of Odin and the Phoenix Gate in "Avalon Part Three" (although Goliath has already used both items prior to this episode, and the Eye has been effectively destroyed).
Tidbits
Zafiro's serpent-like design is modelled after the figure of Quetzalcoatl the Feathered Serpent in Mesoamerican legend, suggesting yet another mythical being inspired by gargoyles. It is worth noting, however, that in Mesoamerican art and myth the Quetzalcoatl only has the feathers of a quetzal bird, not wings.
Greg Weisman had further plans for the Mayan gargoyles' adventures in the series. They would have eventually gotten the Mayan Sun Amulet back from the Manhattan Clan (it survived the destruction of the clock tower in "Hunter's Moon"). Turquesa and Jade, who ended the episode on the skiff to Avalon, would probably have experienced a few "World Tour" adventures of their own before Avalon sent them back to Guatemala. Also, a namesake descendant of Zafiro would have been one of the regulars in Gargoyles 2198.
