Long Way to Morning is the eleventh episode of Gargoyles.
Summary[]
Hudson is plagued by memories from 984 AD, when Prince Malcolm was poisoned. In the present day, Goliath is shot and grievously injured, but Hudson won't leave him behind, even as they are both hunted by Demona.
Notes[]
- Lexington, Bronx and the Captain of the Guard all appear, but have no lines.
- Princess Katharine's father, Prince Malcolm is introduced.
- The Archmage is introduced, who will become a more serious adversary in Avalon.
- Though Prince Malcolm was a friend to the Wyvern Clan, he told Katharine horror stories about them, which may be the source of her later prejudices'.
- The source of Hudon's damaged eye is revealed. It was an injury inflicted by the Archmage.
- It is revealed that Hudson is not just Goliath's mentor. He is also his predecessor.
Trivia[]
- This episode follows a similar trend to that previously set by The Thrill of the Hunt, Temptation, and Deadly Force, in which Goliath is primarily partnered with one member of his clan, in this case Hudson.
