Notes[]
- These are the final canon episodes of Gargoyles.

- As of the last episode Xanatos allows the Manhattan Clan to return to Castle Wyvern. They are skeptical, but he assures them he has no alterior motive, and that he is done being their enemy.
- The world is now aware of existence of Gargoyles.
- However, thanks to the Canmores vendetta, they cause the public to see the gargoyles as evil.
- Jason's line: "What could put claw marks in solid steel?" is a throwback to Elisa's line in the first part of Awakening: "What could put claw marks in solid stone?"
- These episodes further reveal the history of the Hunters, first introduced in the City of Stone episodes.
- The Hunters line effectively ends after this arc:
- Jason is paralyzed from the waist down, and let's go of his family hatred.
- Robyn also lets go of her family hatred, and later leads the Redemption Squad. Though she does so under the code name Hunter.
- Jon, who ironically held little hatred for for the Gargoyles, blames them for his brothers condition, changes his name to Castaway, and founds the Quarrymen, a new group of Gargoyle haters seeking to destroy them.
