Summary
Continuity
Owen Burnett is revealed to be Puck in this episode. Oberon charges Puck to teach Alexander Fox Xanatos to use magic, allowing him to skip the Gathering as he'd wanted but also forbidding him from returning to Avalon or using his magic powers (except when training or protecting Alex).
The Iron Clan robots first appear in this episode. Although they were built specifically to fight against Oberon, Xanatos and Owen must have clearly found them useful beyond that purpose, since one of them appears in Rock and Roll, to do battle with the gargoyles.
Tidbits
Oberon comments just before his departure that the humans of Manhattan will awaken from their enchanted slumber and the events from the previous night will seem to them like "naught but a midsummer night's dream", a reference to the play that he, Titania, and Puck were drawn from (A Midsummer Night's Dream).
Greg Weisman had further plans involving Oberon and Titania for later in the series. The chief of these was the escape of Queen Mab, Oberon's mother and predecessor as ruler of the Third Race; Oberon had long ago overthrown Mab and imprisoned her, but she would at some point break free from her prison, with serious ramifications for not only Oberon and the Third Race, but for the outside world as well. (Queen Mab, of course, was drawn from Shakespeare as well: Mercutio's speech about her from Act I, Scene iv of Romeo and Juliet.)
