Notes

• Before the COVID-19 pandemic, this episode was supposed to be the Season 6 finale.
• The Speed Force is reborn after Iris West's residual speed energy powers up the A.S.F. machine.
  • However, three other energies are born at the same time which leads into the rest of Season 7.
• This episode confirms that, in order to balance itself for the loss of the Pre-Crisis Wellses, the universe has resurrected Harrison Wells as Multiversal time-traveling entity.
• The identity of the figure Timeless Wells see during the rebirth of the Speed Force is revealed in "Timeless".

Trivia

• The title of the episode is a reference to how the Mirror duplicates refer to their creator, Eva McCulloch.
• Due to Hartley Sawyer having been fired from The Flash before the shooting of Season 7, Ralph Dibny is only featured with a disfigured appearance and, then, a mask which is compared to the Daft Punk's.
• Broome Towers is a reference to Barry Allen's creator, John Broome.
