It's just a memory! One warped from the perspective of a sad, angry little girl! Don't you get it? That person that we saw in there? The bad mom that Nora told us about? She doesn't even exist! In any timeline. I told you that you had to be different in the future but I was wrong. You don't have to change who you are, you don't even have to change the name of your newspaper! I know any future with you in it is going to be a good one. You just have to believe it too.

Synopsis for "Memorabilia"
When Sherloque wants to use a memory machine on Barry and Nora to help gain access to Grace's memories, Nora panics, fearing her parents will find out the secrets she's been keeping from them.

Notes
- The events of this episode confirm that, as a consequence of Nora's time changes,[1] Dwyer replaced Hersch in her future and reveal that, after the original version of the Crisis in 2024, a new Cicada resurfaced and became the slaughterer that, according to Nora,[2] the Legends, Supergirl, Green Arrow and the League were never able to catch.
- The identity of the new Cicada will be actually revealed in "Failure is an Orphan".
Trivia
- In the Flash Museum, several Flash comics were shown in the background, including:
- Sherloque Wells mentions the Summerholt Institute which was originally introduced in the Smallville tv shows.
