Tidbits

Banquo and Fleance attend Macbeth and Demona's wedding (though without speaking roles). Margot briefly walks past Elisa while the latter is sight-seeing, though with no trace of Brendan about. (Is Margot still on a European vacation, or is it just another lookalike character, such as the one in City of Stone Part Two?)

Thailog's alias for interacting with the human world (mentioned only in this episode) is "Alexander Thailog", a name of particular interest since Xanatos's biological son will also bear the name of Alexander (and remember that Thailog views Xanatos as one of his "fathers"). The fact that Thailog comes up with this name independently gives this scene a particularly eerie tone - though it can easily be explained as a result of his sharing Xanatos's ambitions and means of achieving them. (The name itself is borrowed from Alexander the Great, the famous Macedonian conqueror - an obvious source of inspiration to both Xanatos and Thailog in terms of his remarkable achievements.)
