Summary
Continuity
Officer Morgan makes his second appearance in Gargoyles, the first being in "Awakening" (Parts One and Two).
The Grimorum Arcanorum, which appeared previously in "Awakening", is named for the first time.
Demona's betrayal of Brooklyn's trust in this episode sets up Brooklyn's animosity towards her in later episodes.
At the end of the episode, Demona tears a handful of pages out of the Grimorum Arcanorum before escaping. These pages reappear in "Reawakening" and "City of Stone".
Tidbits
Demona says that the mind-control spell she uses on Goliath is complex and requires much time to study. Since the actual incantation consists of only three Latin words, two of which are short ones, this would suggest (unless Demona was lying to Brooklyn - which, considering her record, is possible) that the complexities lay elsewhere, maybe in correct pronunciation or accompanying gestures. Remarks elsewhere in the series (such as "City of Stone Part Three" and "The Price") that one has to be an experienced wizard to be able to use magic properly would confirm the theory that spell-casting in the Gargoyles Universe consists of far more than just saying the right words.
Brooklyn's motorcycle was designed to be adapted into a toy vehicle for Kenner's line of Gargoyles action figures - although it is doubtful that Kenner was amused when the same motorcycle was blown up in this episode before the end of Act One!
