Continuity
While Anansi appears to have been slain by Goliath, he is seen among the Children of Oberon returning to Avalon in "The Gathering Part One", indicating that he survived. Indeed, there is a hint of his survival at the end, when, after Anansi's disappearance, we see a small spider scurrying along its way; according to Greg Weisman, the spider was Anansi, who had hurriedly shrunk himself to escape the gargoyles.
This episode is the second time that a human has transformed into a panther. In "Metamorphosis", Derek Maza transforms into Talon, and in this episode Fara Maku and Tea are werepanthers of a more magical origin. Derek Maza's sister (Elisa) and mother (Diane Maza) appear in this episode.
Diane Maza is introduced to the gargoyles for the first time. After a conversation with her, Goliath is convinced to accept Angela as his daughter, following the revelation that they were biologically related in "Monsters".
Tidbits
In very early outlines, Fara Maku and Tea Gora were to be were-jaguars instead of were-panthers; fortunately, this was changed ("fortunately", in the sense that it saved the production team from the embarrassment of placing jaguars in Africa rather than South America).
Though Disney's YouTube playlist for Season 2 included this episode, for reasons unspecified, it was set to private.
