* AffectionateNickname: Tom, Katherine, and Magus call the Avalon gargoyles "the eggs" even after they are fully grown.

* EasilyForgiven: Upon seeing how Catharine and company have guarded and raised the Rookery Eggs in the millennia while they slept in stone, Goliath drops any residual anger he may have still harbored towards the Princess and Magus. If anything, he admits he's delighted and grateful to be there and to see they've kept the Clan's children and memory alive. He even explicitly reconciles with the Magus on the latter's deathbed.

* HowWeGotHere: Part 1 is mostly Tom explaining how he, Katherine, Magus and the eggs traveled from Castle Wyvern to Avalon.

** Tom, Catherine, and the Magus are still alive almost a millennia after the Wyvern Massacre. The Rookery Eggs have all hatched and there are now over 30 new Gargoyles descended from the Wyvern Clan.

* RestoredMyFaithInHumanity: A variation with Goliath. While Elisa had already helped restore Goliath's shattered faith back in the Pilot, Goliath comes full circle with the surviving people who helped break it a millennia ago. But seeing that Catharine and the Magus ultimately did fulfill their pledge to protect and raise the Rookery Eggs has a profound impact on Goliath. He's grateful to them, dropping any residual anger he still harbored and joyfully admits he's glad to be here.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: After the attack on Castle Wyvern, Princess Katherine devotes herself to the care of the gargoyle eggs, becoming their foster mother. [[MamaBear She also protects them during the battle]].

* DammYouMuscleMemory: A benign, non-lethal variation. Tom elicits Goliath's help by stating the Eggs on Avalon are in danger. When they arrive on Avalon, the "Eggs" are all hatched and fully grown. When Eliza points this out, Tom laughs and self deprecatingly admits that he's used to calling the Avalon Gargoyles the Eggs; it genuinely never occurred to him to clarify this to goliath.

If anything, he admits he's delighted and grateful to be there and to see they've kept the Clan's children and memory alive. He even explicitly reconciles with the Magus on the latter's deathbed.

* TheAtoner: While they hid on Avalon primarily to evade Constantine and his forces, Catherine and Magus have also tended the Rookery eggs out of atonement for what happened to the Manhattan Clan. Magus in particular is ''still'' wracked with guilt and openly admits to Eliza that he owed it to Goliath to try and make things right.

* KilledOffForReal: Magus suffers a fatal case of CastFromHitPoints and the Archmage dissolves from PowerDegeneration.

This Episode contains the following Tropes:

* YouFool: After managing to get the Eye of Odin, Goliath says the Archmage has lost. The Archmage shouts this in response, due to still having the other two artifacts. [[TemptingFate His bravado doesn't last long.]]

* YearOutsideHourInside: The passage of time on Avalon is what allows Tom, Katharine, and Magus to still be alive in the present. The conversion rate of one hour inside Avalon is one ''day'' outside of it.

-->'''Tom:''' I thought you understood, Elisa! Avalon doesn't send you where you want to go, Avalon sends you where you ''need'' to be!\\

* The Archmage not only survived the events of "Long Way Until Morning", but is revealed to have been behind multiple events throughout the first half of Season Two.

** While briefing Goliatha and Elisa on the Archmage, Magus mentions that if he didn't know that the Grimorum wasn't allowed on Avalon, he'd swear his old master had it as well. It's subsequently revealed the Archmage ''does'' have possession of it and exploited a rather clever loophole to bypass Oberon's Law and bring it onto the island.

* TheAtoner: Catherine and Magus have tended the Rookery eggs on Avalon out of atonement for their bigotry and role in cursing the Manhattan Clan.

* WhamEpisode: The three-parter reveals what really became of the rookery eggs, adds Angela to the cast, and begins the World Tour arc that will dominate the season.

* POVSequel: The Present Day Archmage's trip back to 984 A.D. allows the battle from "Long Way To Morning" to be shown from an alternate perspective (albeit spliced in with archival footage).
