Summary
Tidbits
This marks the final appearance of a Coyote robot in the television series, but Greg Weisman was not finished yet with the concept. He had planned for at least four more Coyotes to come. Coyote 5.0 would be involved in some unknown way with Coldsteel; Coyote 6.0 would (apparently on its own initiative) form a new version of the Pack as the Ultra-Pack, and Coyote 7.0 would lead this upgraded Pack[1]. And in the projected Gargoyles 2198 spin-off, there would have been a further Coyote, Coyote X, who had by this time developed enough sentience to be planning to take over the world (until the Space-Spawn invaded, after which Coyote X, his eyes opened to larger horizons, upgraded his ambition to conquering the entire galaxy).
Xanatos's mention of the Cauldron of Life's being made out of iron, and connecting it to Coyote 4.0's ability to imprison Coyote the Trickster, is a foreshadowing of the revelation in Ill Met By Moonlight concerning the Third Race's vulnerability to iron, and also indicates (even before it is confirmed in The Gathering Part One) that Coyote is one of Oberon's Children.
