Did Demona abandon her efforts to convert the clan to her side? Not a chance. This time she’s upped the ante, putting Elisa’s life in the balance. With that kind of leverage, Demona can move mountains, or in this case Goliath. She didn’t bargain on Hudson coming along, though. Will old age and cunning win out against youth and strength? And what about Demona? How’s she handling the clan “betraying” her?
We’re back, on The Edge of the second half! Aren’t getting soft, are you? The clan is on a collision course with the Steel Clan. It’s no repeat of Awakening, either. This is a new breed of opponent.
Both protagonists and antagonists will learn something about themselves in this ep. Know thyself.
Finally, THE EDGE! It’s always been one of my fave eps, alongside Eye of the Beholder, Vows, and The Gathering parts 1 and 2.
Now that everyone’s settled in their homes – new and old – we can get back to business. Rather, David Xanatos can. He dropped into his old routine without a pause, but he’s not as confident as he appears. Is he losing his edge? It’ll take more than a new Corvette to resolve this doubt. In typical Xanatos fashion, he has a plan that’ll kill two birds, or possibly gargoyles, with one stone. Or robot. Gotta love those Xanatos Gambits!
We meet an upgraded version of the Steel Clan. Will the havoc they’re wreaking through the city put the gargoyles in harm’s way? Don’t worry, Xanatos has a good reason for his maneuvers.
Macbeth (re)Enters! We finally learn why Macbeth kidnapped Lexington, Bronx, and Brooklyn. It’s also time for a change of address for a most of our characters. The theme of Home runs strong in this one.
While the idea of Home is an undercurrent in the series, it’s the in-your-face theme of Enter Macbeth. Gargoyles are territorial, so it’s no surprise they’re attached to the castle. Plus, it’s always been their home. But the castle’s rightful owner, David Xanatos, will be free in a mere week. Nobody is happy about being roomies. While Goliath procrastinated even thinking about what will happen when their antagonist comes home, David is already mulling his options. That’s bad news for the clan, but great news for us fans of villains and antagonists! You guessed it: we’re meeting a new, or rather very old, player in the game.
We’re back! Will Elisa survive the Nepalese medical care of MGH? Will Broadway fess up to shooting her? Will Owen recover the stolen weapons? Will Dracon stop using dated gangster language?
We’re about to find out.
After battling Demona’s spells last week, we’re into mundane territory today. Don’t think we’re getting a break, though. The third episode of the Trio’s triptych belongs to Broadway. We meet a new antagonist and see just how manipulative one of our favorite antags can be. Not all the protags’ trouble come from villains, though. Elisa fights for her life thanks to Broadway’s mistake. Will he to step up and take responsibility for his actions, or let the new antagonist take the blame?
This is a unique episode, one that Toon Disney actually banned!
Give in to the temptation to finish this episode. We’ll see what Demona’s plan was and how Goliath fits into it. Brooklyn must make a decision. Will he face his mistakes?

Last week’s episode, The Thrill of the Hunt, was all about Lexington. This week we’re riding with Brooklyn. We meet an old friend, who challenges Brooklyn’s world view. Will he change his opinion of humans? No matter his choice, he’ll find his actions affect those he cares for the most.
Ready to feel the thrill of the hunt. We’re wrapping up our review of the first episode of the series-proper. If you thought the antagonists and villains of the show opener were fierce, better watch your back, because the Pack is circling for the kill
