Summary
Continuity
Flashback scenes
The Magus (here ten years younger than in his original appearance in "Awakening") and the Captain (in a non-speaking role) both have cameos in the flashback scenes.
Prince Malcolm, Princess Katharine's father, is introduced for the first time in this episode. It is revealed that, although Malcolm himself is on friendly terms with the gargoyles, he is partly responsible for Katharine's disdain towards them shown in "Awakening Part One". A younger Malcolm appears in the episode "Vows".
The Archmage is introduced in this episode as a Dark Ages antagonist of the Wyvern Clan. Although the Archmage apparently falls to his death, "Avalon Part Two" reveals that he survived by means of a time-travel loop.
Hudson is blinded in one eye by the Archmage, and subsequently appoints Goliath to be leader of the Wyvern Clan.
Modern day scenes
Brooklyn displays a strong element of bitterness towards Demona stemming from "Temptation", strong enough that Goliath thinks it better to leave him behind at the clock tower.
Hudson's remark to Demona that his age has taught him how to wait takes on a new meaning after "City of Stone", in which it is revealed that she has been alive for a thousand years and has still not learned that lesson.
At the end of this episode, Demona believes that Elisa is dead, and she will not encounter Elisa onscreen again until "Reawakening".
Tidbits
Hudson reveals in this episode that gargoyles dream while in stone sleep.
