"The Gate." Brooklyn could really use some time away from the Clan, but when the time-traveling Phoenix Gate materializes before his eyes, maybe the phrase "look, but don't touch" should have come to mind. Careful what you wish for, Brooklyn!
Tidbits
Constantine's lie about Finella having a son who was murdered by Kenneth II is based on Holinshed's account of Kenneth's downfall, where Finella helps murder Kenneth to avenge her son's death.
Kenneth III's line "Welcome every man according to his station, and who shall 'scape whipping?" is an echo of Hamlet's line to Polonius in Act II Scene ii of "Hamlet", "use every man after his desert, and who shall 'scape whipping?"
"Star Trek", so often in the background of "Gargoyles", is explicitly mentioned at last, when Brooklyn mentions it as one of two television science fiction programs he's seen ("Quantum Leap" being the other).
