Concepts:

The Negative counterparts of the Strength Force and the Sage Force are revealed to be trying to replace the other Forces of the universe.
- They are revealed to be the cause behind Iris West's Time Sickness.
Eobard Thawne has his powers restored by Negative Deon Owens after the latter allows him to replace his Post-Flashpoint counterpart in the timeline.

Eobard Thawne ripping his way out of his Post-Flashpoint self is an homage to the cover of The Flash (Volume 5) #26 which shows Eobard Thawne/Professor Zoom doing the same with Barry Allen/The Flash.
The Negative Still Force was first mentioned in "Armaggedon, Part 3" where Team Flash speculated it was behind the creation of the Armageddon Timeline.
Nora's Future Joan Williams was first mentioned in "Impulsive Excessive Disorder" where Bart and Nora West-Allen erased her from existence but, after time-traveling to 2015, they eventually managed to restore to life.
