There's a map for the Fountain of Imperium out there, and humans could never really figure out how to read it because they thought it was a map of the heavens. But aliens, we know it's a map of your planet.

—Gary Green

Notes

• Sara Lance's Advanced Regeneration allows her to survive mortal wounds, including a shot through the head, gifting her some sort of Immortality.
• It is revealed that, some time after the Crisis, the S.T.A.R. Labs Hall has been officially renamed as the "Hall of Justice".
  • Nate Heywood states that the League never answered his request to join the team. However, this is awkward as his Legends' captain, Sara Lance, is also a member of the team.
• Gary Green reveals that the mythical Fountain of Imperium exists somewhere on Earth.

Trivia

• The title of the episode is a reference to its Western setting and the Haverack' empathy abilities.
• From this episode onwards, the position of Jonah Hex's wanted poster, which is a recurring cameo, is slightly changed.
• Sara states that Bass Reeves heavily resembles her old friend, John "Dig" Diggle: this is a nod to the fact that they are both portrayed by David Ramsey.
  • It may also be possible that Reeves is an ancestor of Diggle in the continuity of Earth-Prime.
• Nate mentioning that "the Legends love Thong Song" is a nod to the events of "Swan Thong".
• The Haverack is clearly inspired by the Graboids, the monster creatures from Tremors.
