Added DiffLines:

* TheAtoner: The Weird Sisters clearly intended for the bond between Macbeth and Demona to lead to a lasting peace between humans and gargoyles. However, Demona broke Macbeth's trust due to her fears of him betraying her clan, leading to the fall of Macbeth as king and Demona being the last (or she thinks) living gargoyle. The sisters reveal at the end of the episode that, from that point on, they will be responsible for Macbeth and Demona.

Added DiffLines:

* ExactWords: Much like how he brought the gargoyles back to life [[ContinuityNod in the pilot]], Xanatos uses this trope to break the stone sleep spell on the city.


Added DiffLines:

* FantasticRacism: Even after the destruction of the Wyvern Clan, Demona continued to be faced with this from humans. While [[NeverMyFault she'll never admit it]], most of the fear and hatred she received came from her and her new clan raiding human farms for food.


Added DiffLines:

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: A comment from one of the Weird Sisters reveals that, when Macbeth's son tried to avenge his father, Canmore killed him. While this was bound to happen due to Macbeth's immortality, his reaction shows that it clearly grieved him.


Added DiffLines:

* TragicVillain: This episode fully establishes Demona and Macbeth as this:
** Macbeth was a normal man who, due the events that he didn't cause or want any part in, lost his kingdom, his family, and any hope he had of a normal life. While he's done several villainous things over the course of the series, it's hard not to feel bad for him after this.
** While Demona betrayed her clan and inadvertantly caused their deaths, her horror and grief over what she'd done is shown, and clearly stayed with her for years (to the point that, when she thought Macbeth would betray her, she repeated her actions by betraying Macbeth to Canmore... with the same results as before). She's lost her entire species (as far as she knows) and has spent centuries with no one on her side. And, while [[NeverMyFault she'll never admit it]], it's entirely her fault.

* TheNameless: None of the gargoyles comprising Demona's scraped together clan are named onscreen, and most likely hadn't any per their cultural norm. The scripts however designated certain individuals via nicknames, just like the Cold Trio. The little green, frog like for instance is labeled [[Franchise/TheMuppets Kermit]].
