Summary
Continuity
Hudson and the Trio appear for the first time since Goliath, Elisa and Bronx disappeared in "Avalon Part One". They learn the reasons for their clanmates' absence sometime between now and their next appearance, in "Pendragon".
The Mutates appear for the first time since the formation of the Labyrinth Clan in "The Cage". They next appear in "The Reckoning".
Al, Chaz and Lou are introduced. Al next appears in "Invitation Only", still a member of the Labyrinth Clan; Chaz and Lou later join the Quarrymen.
The Mutates and David Xanatos learn in this episode that Goliath, Elisa and Bronx are missing.
After initial reluctance, Brooklyn finally accepts leadership of the Manhattan Clan in Goliath's absence, having been appointed to second-in-command in "Upgrade". Talon also accepts leadership of the Labyrinth Clan.
Fang is imprisoned in the Labyrinth at the end of this episode. He is still imprisoned in "The Reckoning", although he has been released some time before the opening scenes of "Strangers" (a story which will be depicted in "Gargoyles: Bad Guys, Issue Three").
Tidbits
Like "The Price", "Kingdom" aired out of order, premiering on February 5, 1996, after "Grief" (which first aired on December 28, 1995), and just before "The Hound of Ulster" (which first aired on February 6, 1996).
In one of the series' more notorious animation errors, Bronx briefly appears when the gargoyles are preparing to enter stone sleep at the clock tower, and Hudson appears in two places on the clock tower.
