Notes

• This episode marks the first full appearance of the Black Flash on The Flash.
• The Speed Force makes Barry glimpse a timeline where Iris and Eddie are married and Eddie never died. Similarly, in this timeline, Ronnie Raymond never died and has a daughter with Caitlin.
  • The Post-Crisis iteration of this timeline will be glimpsed in "A New World, Part Three" and "A New World, Part Four".
• Despite being mentioned by Savitar, Jesse Quick's counterpart from his future doesn't appear in "The Once and Future Flash".

Trivia

• "Post 53 #MetaBromance" is The Chronicles of Cisco post regarding this episode.
• Just before projecting himself and Barry into the Speed Foce, Cisco states "to the infinity and beyond" which is a reference to the Toy Story character, Buzz Lightyear's famous quote.
