Notes
- This episode takes place on 23 May, 2017, the day that this episode was originally aired.
- In an alternate reality of a local Multiverse, which was born as a consequence of Barry Allen never creating the Flashpoint Timeline, Savitar never came to exist so the H.R. Wells of the alternate Earth-19 never had to sacrifice himself and continued being a member of Team Flash.[1]
- H.R. Wells' presence also helped the alternate Team Flash easily defeat their version of Clifford DeVoe.[2]
- Barry and his future daughter XS will travel back in time to this point in time in "What's Past Is Prologue".
- Hunter Zolomon is referred to as Black Flash for the first time in the Arrowverse continuity.
Trivia
- The title of the episode is a reference to Barry giving up his role after being banished into the Speed Force.
- "Post 60" is The Chronicles of Cisco post regarding this episode.[3]
- During his visit to S.T.A.R. Labs, Savitar foreshadows the incoming threat of The Thinker/Clifford Devoe who is the main antagonist of Season 4.
- DeVoe was previously mentioned by Abra Kadabra in "Abra Kadabra".
- The Speed Force Storm is inspired by the same storm that hit Central City in The Flash (Volume 5) #2 during the DC Rebirth era.
- Cisco nicknames Savitar "Two-Face", a possible reference to the famous Batman villain.
