Summary
Tidbits
This is a good episode for incidental characters: a small crowd of them appears. We see, in succession, Mr. Jaffe (whose grocery store is attacked by Fox near the beginning), Officer Morgan, Travis Marshall, Bruno and his commandoes, and Brendan and Margot in their second appearance in Gargoyles (with Fox and Goliath both jumping on the hood of their car as they watch in astonishment). And one of the crowd at the Halloween block party, judging from his voice, is clearly Vinnie (for once, having a pre-Vendettas encounter with the gargoyles that doesn't wind up disastrously for him - assuming that he didn't have any comical misfortunes when Fox showed up and broke up the party).
Elisa alludes bitterly to Xanatos's mutation of Derek into Talon from Metamorphosis (one reason why she is so reluctant to help him in this episode).
Xanatos places another tracking device on Goliath, commenting when it is revealed, "Old habits die hard". (The episode plays fair in having Xanatos place one hand briefly on Goliath when the latter shows up with Elisa in Castle Wyvern, giving him the opportunity to plant the tracer.)
The trio all have their own Halloween costumes, appropriately chosen. Broadway wears his trenchcoat and fedora from The Silver Falcon again (in light of all the destruction that his outfit underwent in that episode, these would have to be a look-alike replacement). Brooklyn wears a pirate outfit, fitting in with his swashbuckling nature, and Lexington dresses up as an old-fashioned airplane pilot (straight out of the time of World War I flying aces and Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight), as an echo of his ambitions in Her Brother's Keeper.
